I
just cannot predict how a days good to go. I was feeling a little bit
guilty for not doing enough lately, you know just kicking back
enjoyed the cooler weather and the clouds and binging Amazon prime.
But today I was kind of interested in going out and doing just a
little bit of shopping. Earlier in the week I actually went foraging
and found some alfalfa to make tea. Then of course I don't have
teabags are even a T-ball or tea-ball what ever. Remember yesterday I
was totally guilt ridden about the blue lap basket from Walmart? Well
I decided that I would return the basket and maybe go across the
street and check out the dollar store at Family All A Dollar and see
if they had tea making materials. Sometimes, I'm amazed at what these
Dollar stores carry. Anyway, regardless the situation I would have to
go up to 5400 S. meaning I would catch the bus. I know I could
actually drive my chair up there but I really am trying to be a
little proactive and force myself to wait for the bus and not put the
trauma on my chair. I really want this vehicle the last as long as I
can make it last.
I
was so pleased going to my cache of clothes and actually finding a
longsleeved T shirt maybe even a sweatshirt that was long enough to
cover my belly and heavy enough to keep me warm as I travel on the
tarmac. The sun shining bright today perfect day for a black shirt.I
consulted the app I have For the transit authority And saw I had
about 20 minutes before the next bus. I played a little on my
favorite videogame to observe the time been off I went. As I said a
bit chilly but a bright day to be out Cruising the city . I waited
patiently at the light waiting for the light to change. I counted
down the seconds on the Adjacent street crossing my Five, four,
three, two, oneThe light changes and I look up and see my light go
from “is one” to the flashing walking guy. I even looked and
didn't see the vehicle so I started out across the street and all of
a sudden I did look up in the opposite direction, which I thought was
totally safe, and there was the SUV bearing down on me. Not fast but
fast enough. I was like a deer in headlights. I tried to push my
chair to its maximum speed but in my confusion I hit the wrong button
stopped all forward motion (very similar to what I feel happened When
I broke my neck) the SUV was still coming and I knew I was a goner,
game over, tits up...But not today! But it was a close one today
that's for sure. I maybe even screened or yelled and I think that's
what may have got the guys attention to stop. One thing that's
different is that usually the event doesn't really bother me but
today I can tell I had a major adrenaline pump. It took me a good
part of the afternoon to To work the adrenaline out of my system I
think. Today was a close one closer than most, But I'm here for
another day…
