Maybe I learned something today, or received a very strong reminder.

I had to go to the town south of me today to pay a fine. I had a speeding ticket. There is no question I was speeding, and deserved the ticket. I ran into the state's attorney there, who is a friend, also my personal lawyer, and a good Democrat. He teased me, but told me to be careful. I have been.

That was not the only reminder I got. I was just behind an unpleasant car accident with injuries, on the way home. I was the one who had to call 911, and I was the only witness. I had to stay there for awhile.

We are going to be doing a lot of traveling this weekend, for my daughter's wedding. We will need to be extra careful. I just feel it.

Traffic accidents have been on my mind a lot lately. I was the one who posted about the angel priest, too. Or, maybe I am overly sensitive these days, with all the changes in my life. My 16-year-old cat may be dying, too. That may not seem like a big deal to some people, but she is a member of the family. We are all sad.

My husband and I will be. The accident shook me quite a bit more than I realized.

I take Coumadin, a blood thinner. Tonight, I took 10 mg instead of 7.5. I will have to take none tomorrow. It is a potentially dangerous drug. Heck, all the drugs I take are potentially dangerous, except for the thyroid replacement. I can't imagine an overdose of that doing much harm.

About five years ago, I sleepwalked, went to the kitchen about 2:00 a.m., and took all the pills for the following day! I called the ambulance that time. I figured that if my husband drove me to the emergency room and my heart stopped before we got there, he would not have known how to help. He would have felt guilty for my mistake.

I have not done anything like that in my sleep since that time. Of course, I am healthier now, five years into managing Graves Disease.

I will be very careful, and I know that the wedding will be great. Thanks for your good thoughts.

Or the universe or your guides or your angels or whatever you what to call it is "talking to you."

And you're listening.

JMHO.

And I am very sorry about your cat. Of course it is a big deal when an animal crosses over. Most of us, particularly here at ASAH, look at our animals as part of our family.
