the best laid plans..... (file this under no good deed goes unpunished)
So I was on my way to Hillsborough County Democratic Headquarters to sign in.... about 12:45 this afternoon.....


and now I'm home from the hospital.


I was in a car wreck. I have 3 staples to the back of my head,...


and a bruised heart because now I'm out of commission for tomorrow.




Can someone please tell me why lanes would be marked "left turn" lanes if there's "no left turn?"



I'll check in tomorrow. I don't think I have the heart, or frankly the energy after 7+ hour in the ER, to stay on long tonight.

2. Ouch!
I had no idear you were in New Hampster now (or maybe you were just volunteering there since there's no reason to do so in the Bay State.)

The good news is that you will be okay! :hug:

12. I'd like to apologize for my city/county.
The most well intentioned yet poorly executed infrastructures I've ever driven.

I wish we could have gotten together this weekend, but I got screwed by Verizon and work. I hope you heal quickly and completely.

:hug:

21. I'll take my regular flight home on Thursday
I'll need to get the staples removed on Monday or Tuesday.

I'm really ok.

Today was not the best day I've ever had... headache, tired, depressed...

but tonight I had a lovely dinner w/ my brother, an AWESOME bottle of wine, a good soak in the hot tub, and now we're watching election results





I want to thank you ALL for your concern and support. I'm truly a very wealthy woman to have such friends.

16. Oh, Miss Millie, I'm so sorry to hear you got hurt
I hope you're feeling better today and I have no idea why roads are marked so poorly sometimes. It IS Florida, after all.
