I know I am by no means the most regular poster/blogger. (That is one thing I’d like to improve in the new year.)
I do have something to post, though. Tonight, while on my way to church (a Christmas Eve service), I was stopped at a red light and rear ended.
Merry Christmas, breagha. Merry Christmas. What makes it better? The driver who did it took off after I pulled over so we could exchange information. <sigh> There goes another rate increase. (I had a tire blow out this summer.)
I am fine, the car is mostly fine (just some dents and holes/nicks in the rear bumper, though I did have to file a claim toinght because my neck hurt and I’ve been rear-ended before, so I know it can take up to or more than 24 hours for whiplash symptoms [and others] to appear). But compared to others who are stuck in airports this Christmas Eve, I am blessed. I am safe, warm, and with my family. The car knocked me INTO THE INTERSECTION, so I seriously could have been hit from the left if cars had been moving. Luckily no one else had entered the intersection save moi. So compared to a lot of other people in the world, I’m incredibly lucky, whiplash and all 
And no, I didn’t make it to the Christmas Eve service. I have planned to go tomorrow. In daylight. Hopefully it won’t rain.
I hope your travels are safe and that you are able to spend this holiday season with friends and family. Blessings to you all! And drive safe!
