I almost died today, and yes that is an exaggeration, but not a complete one. Coming south on the 400 some expletive decided that from a stand still in the lanes going 401 West it would be a good idea to come into my 401 East lane. I was probably going about 70 at the time and had to slam down on the brakes. He also cut someone else off that was changing into my lane so instead of doing a bad merge and accelerating he did a bad merge and was stopped in my lane. I'm lucky that I could stop on time, and that no one was close behind me. Guys, I don't have collision on my car. If you hit me I am financially ruined, so please do not hit me. Pretty please. Unless I want to start eating Top Ramen every night to support payments for a new car, I'd like to not be hit.
My day with my aunt was really nice. She's just so adorable. She paid for some books for me at Chapters (which she did not have to do). And then she also paid for me to have dinner at her place. So I owe her something really nice.
She participates in this book club at her retirement home. I'm wondering if I'm ready for something like that in my life. Maybe not yet. I think I'll just keep up with reading on my own. I'm almost done Whale Music by Paul Quarrington (which I just found out through googling is also a movie). It has been an interesting read, but I've been stuck on it for a while so I'll be happy to move on. Up next is Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery.
Also, I think a retirement home is the funniest place to have a meal. I heard a funny story about dentures, and overheard a disgusting comment about diarrhea. No shame. "Usually there's some substance but this time it just came right out." It took everything in me to not burst out laughing. Such a dinner table appropriate conversation.
