Thread: Too good to be last....

  1. #1

    Too good to be last....

    Lately everythings been perfect... Things have gone from bad.... To better... And even better...

    I paid my car off.... I brought myself a motorbike.... I have a partner... And I've even found a house which we were meant to be moving into together sometime within the next 4 weeks....

    My jobs been fantastic.... I've been working hard.. And saving...

    Lately things have started to get on top of me... I kept bitching to Dan about how tired I've been.... I would spend most of my spare time catching up on sleep... I've barely had time for him... Let alone my new bike...

    Everythings getting on top of me... And that I thought it was time for a break.......

    I'd been up since 4am this morning... Worked my shift... I thought it would be a good idea to head over to kerikeri to pick up my bike boots I've been waiting so patiently for...

    I started to feel a little drousy... Wondered if I should pull over... I wasn't far from where I needed to be so I kept driving.. As I have learned, it was a HUGE mistake on my part... Within a matter of minutes I fell asleep at the wheel....

    Crashed my car.... Won't know til tomorrow wether or not its a write off... But I think it is.... Whole left hand sides pretty munted... Went across the centre line and off the right hand side of the road and made impact with a tree in someones back yard...

    I have to say I'm very lucky... And lucky I didn't hurt anyone else.... Only minor injuries eg. Popping shoulder, and sore shoulder and chest from seatbelt... Bit of a headache...

    I'm lucky it happened right by someones house who I know..... Managed to take out his fence.... He was more worried about me than the mess I made... It can always be sorted later he kept saying..

    I'm looking forward to starting over again (not)... this time though...... I'm cutting back on my work hours..... and finding a job where i actually have a routine... Not just different kinds of hours all over the show.... I definately think its for the best...

    Sometimes I wonder when lifes gonna finally give me a break... And throw some smooth sailing my way....

    Shit, that's no good.

    But look at it this way, all the good points you listed about your life haven't changed, and you got a loving home to go back to. Nobody got hurt and life moves on.

    You and cars eh?

    Chin up ^_^

    Jaesus T! I know what it feels like to seem to lurch from calamity to calamity... It's not as bad as what you might think though...
    You've got a good partner, new house (and life) together and you're relatively ok. No need to beat yourself up. People make mistakes - what's important is that you learn from them. Chin up girl.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Shit, sounds to me like you just got a break!

    The outcome could have been so much worse! Someone is looking out for you.

    I've balled my eyes out... And had a cuddle or two from my old lady... Just doesn't make the situation any easier.... I don't know whats going to happen with the house situation now... At the moment I need to find another car... Yet.....I don't know if I want one again... I'd be happy living in town where I could walk to work..

    Mums made it very clear my room is always here for me...

    Been talking about taking out insurance... Kept putting it off... What a mistake on my part...

    I had a bad feeling this afternoon... I should have listened to my gut and just stayed home and waited for Dan...

    There might be an RG coming up for sale soon depending on how my finances go... *sigh*

    I'm sorry to hear that.. I hope things work out for you... If minor adjustments are what it takes to make life a bit easier I think I'd be more than happy to do just that..
