Bad Friday
I have not one but TWO sties on my right lower eyelid, also zits coming out of nowhere, including one in my ear (the best kind, right? :-#). I realized it's probably because I cried so much a few days ago, because I ran over a snake. A big, pretty one. :-( s_c and I were once able to save a snake crossing the road by stopping in front of it so no one could run over it, but this time, I was on a fast road and didn't realize what it was until the split second before the tires were over it. Maybe I'm weird for crying over a snake, but snakes have been really good to me, and he was so pretty there shining in the sun, and it made me sad. Then, when we pulled over at s_c's work so I didn't have to drive and cry, the security guard came up and accosted us harshly through the car window; I had no idea anyone was nearby and I screamed. It was trauma on top of trauma, leading to realizing it's time to just stay indoors for a while, so that's what I did for the rest of the weekend, and I'm glad of it. That night, naturally, a bill came from my dentist's office for amounts they aren't allowed to charge me, which they've done now twice in a row, AND charged me a (tiny) late fee for the previous amount that their own billing company refunded to me for this reason when I tried to pay it. They said they'd called my dentist's office and worked it out with them, but here I'm being billed for it again, plus late charge. NOTHING THAT CAME FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD WAS GOOD THAT DAY. A very bad day. And my dentist's office is closed for eleven days right now. (!) I think maybe it's time to find a new dentist, seeing as how she also left me waiting while she chatted up another dentist talking about donuts (true story) for twenty minutes before finally getting to me and being ... not all that nice when she finally deigned to see me. Ugh. So anyway, that was my Friday.

You're so right that it could have caused an accident, but there literally wasn't even time to think about swerving. It breaks my heart because birds and prairie dogs and squirrels can learn to be careful of a road, but it's just not a thing a snake could understand. I also realized he was only on lane two of six (!), plus he might have wandered around by the gutter any amount of time looking for the place where he wanted to cross the median, so the chances of his surviving crossing the road were very slim even if I'd managed to avoid him, but still, why'd it have to be me? :-( Ah, fuck, and now I'm tearing up again.
You are so sweet, bb. Just knowing you're here is a great comfort. <3 <3 <3
