My girlfriend, two of our friends and I were on our way to dinner last night. I was driving and I noticed the truck in the lane to my left was speeding up and passing me, despite that there was a car in front of him and he was only a few feet away from it. Suddenly, the truck swerved into our lane, causing me to swerve to the right (thankfully we reached a highway entrance ramp and no cars were coming onto the road). I lost control of the car for a moment as I it swerved back and forth while I tried steadying it out to go straight. The truck must have realized it’s error because it moved back into the left lane and I slowed down quite a bit to let it get some distance ahead of us.

It happened so fast but I remember thinking so much in such a split second while I was swerving: “This is going to suck. That truck is going to hit us. My car is going to be wrecked. Vickie (the friend sitting behind me) is going to get hurt” and then a blur of thoughts about insurance and whether the driver would stop and how we would get home.

Afterwards, my other friend, Jon, kept saying “You did good. That was a good move.” But it was just an instinct to get out of the way. In such a small window of time, I feel like it was impossible for me to make a decision and that us swerving away from that truck was simply out of my hands.

My boss is out buying me lunch while I sit here and play chess.

Can life get better? I submit that it cannot.

Why does the main page for my local weather say thunderstorms all day with 40% rain and then my hourly forecast says 0% rain at every hour? Get your shit together, Weather.com

Two years ago today (very close to this hour, even) I started dating the girl of my dreams, and it’s been the greatest two years of my life. She is my favorite person in the world and the best friend I’ve ever had, and I’m so incredibly thankful that we’re together.

I love her and can’t live without her and can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary together.

It took me a whole page of tumblr (before it loaded more) to realize I was logged into my girlfriend’s account. I honestly thought everyone I follow decided to change their tumblr names all at once.

I haven’t showered in two days because our hot water isn’t working, and the cat at work won’t stop licking me.
