Thursday evening I was in a car accident. Don’t worry gut, I’m fine. I rear ended someone, but thankfully Vivi isn’t badly damaged.
I drive a tank, and I hit the guy at about 40 mph, and not dead on so that helped. Busted the left headlight-it’s glass, a little crumple in the hood and that pushed in corner of the grill. I don’t think he had insurance-didn’t want me to call the police. Already called my insurance company, went to the ER to get checked out. My shoulder hurts more-I think I jammed my right arm on the steering wheel.
I took my meds when I got home, and I actually took 2mg of Klonpin and a Promethozine-after all the adrenaline and cortisol running through my system subsided I was pretty shaken up. I was so loopy after the meds I was texting and talking on the phone and I made zero comprehensive sense. Sass shall not med and phone. Apparently I ate yogurt and granola at midnight. The evidence was on my dresser. Almost like Ambien.
I haven’t slept well the last couple nights, considering. My dreams are weird and make zero sense.
Monkey is having a hard time trying to work through the passings of Grampa and Shawna, so the school advisor made us both grief journals to work on together. I am still struggling with the grief and depression. It’s like trying to grapple with oil on your body. Sucks.
Tuesday I voted so I get to gripe about the elected officials in office. I do believe in the Democratic process even though during the Presidental Election they only use ellectoral votes which defeats the entire purpose of the Democratic process. But who am I but a Migwest girl with no formal education about anything “political” only life.
I finally got a new phone. Switching to mom’s plan have her a $300 bill credit so that will help during the holidays. The phone I got is the LG V10, which is the latest and greatest. Its still hard to get used to Android after Apple for 4 years, but I’m loving my phone. My phone is better than DB’s, so HA!
I’ve pretty much layed (lied?) in bed all day. I did manage a REALLY hot bath soak and shower to help ease my back and right side. My lower back is so tense and of course my shoulder feels worse. Pain level is about 6.5 on the Sass Pain-O-Meter, compared to everyone else. *Shrugs* Thank God I have a high pain tolerance, sucks that I have such a high tolerance to pain meds. Fuck.
I’m starting to get a wee-bit nervous for Monday, but only because I’m ready for it to be over and start forward to recovery. I’ll have my first physical therapy session Thursday, which freaks me out that they want to do it so soon, but I’m not having my shoulder replaced, just scoped.
We enjoyed a beautiful Indian summer this week for my birthday. Weather in the low 70s, clear blue skies, and still leaves on the trees-some have yet to change color! We did have a very rainy June and July, so that is contributing to the beauty here.
I’m going to take my meds as I’m starting to have running leg syndrome-at least I’m not to triathalon level or speed thank heaven’s to Betsy. Always so thirsty from my meds, and I can’t ever remember if I’ve eaten. Such is the medi-go-round of the Bipolar Coaster.

Glad you are okay. That is the most important thing.
If you take a hot bath, don’t forget to use epsom salt – which will relax your muscles!
Take care.

good to know you weren’t injured in your accident and I totally agree with you on the national election. The electoral college is way out of date and, like the IRS, needs to just go away.
I’m off ot get my coffee. I need to build a little robot who will festch my coffee for me. the little girl would probably do it if she was a little bigger but at 5 and 3/4, a full coffee cup is still something I don’t want to risk with her just yet. She likes to put the sugar and ice cubes in my coffee and stir it so that’s something, more than some people do around here.
SassaFrassTheFeisty said:
Awe that’s so sweet of her.
morgueticiaatoms said:
So glad to hear you are okay! Man, this last week has just been raw sewage and suckage for all. Can’t help but feel my non evenetful fender bump whinefest jinxed y’all. Much love and orgasmic chocolate ❤
SassaFrassTheFeisty said:
Its the planetary alignment that’s got us all fuckered up.
I don’t even want chocolate. WHAAAA?!
morgueticiaatoms said:
You need to be suing someone if you don’t want chocolate, you are DAMAGED! ❤
SassaFrassTheFeisty said:
I know. That or it finally knocked the Bipolar right outta my brain. Yeah there’s some wishful thinking. I do want peach cobbler though.

I’m so glad you’re okay. When I saw this picture I freaked out. Congrats on the new phone too. At least a few good things among all the BS. 🙄
SassaFrassTheFeisty said:
It’s not that bad I promise. I’m so happy about my phone. That iPhone had seen better days-like 4 years ago. Yes, little rays of sunshine peaking through the dark. I’ll take em!

Am glad you’re ok! God your car must be made of army surplus iron to look so good after a 40mph collision, am so pleased for you that they’ll be able to fix it – 3 years ago I rear ended someone at 6mph and my car literally crumpled like it was made of paper so the engine was crushed and the radiator cracked!! At 6mph! The car was only 8 years old! Stupid European “car safety” laws. I want a really old car from before the mid-90’s that’s made of something more solid. I had to buy a whole new fucking car and I spent about £100 in taxi fares until I could buy it – I’d rather have had a bit of whiplash for a week and kept my car, given how much mental anguish the stress of trying to qualify as a teacher with no car to get to my mandatory work placements caused me. It’s like they make cars for the European market out of tinfoil! I hope you feel less hurt soon and that you and your car both make a speedy recovery!
SassaFrassTheFeisty said:
Thanks. Yep, that’s good old Swedish design right there! One reason I always wanted a Volvo. And she’s 15 years old too!
Oh my gosh how horrible! It is so frustrating when you are in the midst of bettering yourself when something like that happens!
My lower back hurts and of course my shoulder, and tomorrow is surgery so my mind is mush. Thank you for the well wishes!!

What the shittin’ hell is with all the car accidents last week? I’m so glad you are ok. Keep an alert eye on yourself for more pain. I started having pain in my arm the next day and now they think my wrist is broken. Stupid slow moving doctors.
Thank God you drive a tank! (((((hugs)))))
SassaFrassTheFeisty said:
Planetary alignment I suppose! My lower back hurts but nothing I can’t handle. That happened to my sis after her accident-AND the have her the wrong splint-they have her a right handed wrist splint on her left wrist 😑 I love my car!!
