Just me...

Good morning campers!

How are we all this fine Autumn morning?? I have my windows open as I type..yep you heard me correctly..windows open ..as in Air conditioner turned off..woo hoo! I can't believe it is only in the 60's this morning...this is what I dream of all summer...cool crisp mornings and sunny days...and yes I am off today to make the most of it..as soon as I am done on here I am going to get all my housework done and get outside and enjoy the fresh air..

It has been a rough couple of days for me..I don't like conflicts with people..I really don't ..even when you know that the other person is at fault it still hurts to be treated that way and no one likes to feel disliked or disrespected....also the tragedy of hubby's co worker has taken a toll on us all..I spent yesterday at the hospital with hubby and his co workers...the outpouring of love and support from those guys has been amazing...there was a uniformed sailor standing at his bedside at all times...official time of death was 10.15 PM last night but Todd was gone long before that..may he rest in peace.....seeing him hooked up to the ventilator bought back a rush of memories for me because the last time I saw my Mum alive she was hooked up to the same machines..the sounds from the machines and the smell in the room was exactly the same and it was all a little too much for me.... I did go to the chapel and have a little cry and pulled myself together...THEN on my way home I got into my first car accident ever!!  this car was coming off of the exit ramp at a high rate of speed and instead of slowing down and merging into traffic he pulled right in front of me forcing me into the other lane  and I hit a van...it could have been a lot worse..if I had slammed on my brakes I would have caused a major pile up so swerving slightly to the left seemed the lesser of 2 evils but my poor little Honda took a nasty bash and is looking pitiful...luckily the driver of the van I hit totally understood but the bastard who cut in front of me took off!!! We called the police just to get a report and he was totally cool and did not give me a ticket or anything (not that I was at fault) he said it happens all the time at that exit and he was just glad no one was hurt..so was I but that doesn't help my insurance claim ...I have a $500 deductible!! Hopefully I  can find someone to fix it without me being out of pocket... when I got home I was shaking like a leaf when  it finally hit me how lucky I had been...and not to mention my pride was hurt..I hated to call hubby and tell him what I did...he was totally calm though..I think after the last few days he has had a wake up call as to just how precious life is and a little fender bender is nothing in the big scheme of things....also we found out that instead of going to Japan next year his squadron is deploying to Iraq..right in the thick of it all..the base they will be stationed at has comes under attack almost daily...I honestly haven't processed this yet...it is just to much to comprehend...

Well that's enough from me..I need to get off here and get outside and enjoy this weather before it warms up too much....

have a great day...
