i fucking hate west omaha

Okay
I’m okay ex­cept for my shoul­der may be sprained be­cause it’s start­ing to re­al­ly hurt. My car is so fucked, my beau­ti­ful car that I worked so hard to buy 😭

But
things I’m grate­ful for this morn­ing af­ter the ac­ci­dent (in no par­tic­u­lar order):

1.
My awe­some friends who have jumped to ac­tion to of­fer me rides and to bor­row their ve­hi­cles. Ya’ll are the real MVPs ❤.

2.
My neigh­bors who came by to im­me­di­ate­ly check on me when they saw my wrecked car, helped me dis­con­nect my trunk light so it would­n’t kill my bat­tery, and of­fered me use of their truck.

3.
My in­cred­i­ble fa­ther for teach­ing me how to work on cars so I’m able to get my old car in work­ing or­der un­til I get my Nis­san fixed (fin­gers crossed any­ways, still work­ing on it, but I just got it to start 🙌 so things are com­ing up Na­tal­ie). He’s also re­spon­si­ble teach­ing me the oth­er me­chan­i­cal skills need­ed for my sec­ond back up trans­porta­tion plan: My motorcycles.

4.
My awe­some Mom and Grand­moth­er for pro­vid­ing emo­tion­al sup­port and ad­vice, but most­ly for let­ting me bitch to them first thing in the morning.

5.
No one in the ac­ci­dent was se­vere­ly in­jured. The sec­ond dri­ver who was hit, hurt his back but it was­n’t de­bil­i­tat­ing, and his teenage son was okay. The dri­ver at fault was shak­en but not hurt. My shoul­der still hurts but noth­ing’s dam­aged. Things could have been much, much worse.

6.
The fact that the woman who hit my­self and the oth­er ve­hi­cle took own­er­ship of her mis­take and claimed fault this morn­ing. So our dam­ages will be cov­ered and this will be less of a has­sle. That was very big of her to do and I’m re­al­ly lucky I was hit by some­one with good character.

7.
I’m for­tu­nate enough to have ac­cess to the op­por­tu­ni­ties to make enough mon­ey to af­ford a car and good in­sur­ance in the first place. I’m very lucky to have been in an ac­ci­dent where not only am I safe, I’m only mi­nor­ly in­con­ve­nienced. It could have been so much worse. Not every­one is so for­tu­nate and I’m end­less­ly grate­ful. This may suck, but over­all, I re­al­ly could­n’t be in a bet­ter place considering.

8.
And right now I’m wondering …

Why do kids play­ing in the dis­tance al­ways sound like some­one is be­ing hor­rif­i­cal­ly mur­dered? Like sheared of their skin and eat­en alive hor­rif­i­cal­ly murdered?
