Life is crazy sometimes

So I just finished part one of my two part training for work. I begin part two tomorrow. It has been an interesting ride to say the least. I met some new friends and apparently made some not really enemies but I can't think of the word for it right now. Those that aren't my friends apparently think I'm an authoritarian b-word, essentially. All I was trying to do was inform them of camp policies that they weren't familiar with and they took it as me considering them to be stupid. It's frustrating but whatever. I'm just going to keep my mouth shut about it and let them get in trouble. The hard part was I was not allowed to perform some of the maneuvers being taught because of the torn ligaments in my ankle. I hated not being able to actually practice them. I miss my husband and my dogs and could really use a hug and kiss from my husband right about now. I talked to my dad today. We played a few rounds of phone tag before I was actually able to get a hold of him only to find out that my Papa, my dad's dad, is in the hospital with a very elevated heart rate of 155. They don't know why but my dad is really worried. I could hear it in his voice. I'm glad I was told though so I can let work know in case things go south and we need to leave work for a family emergency.

With regards to RV and Semi drivers...

Please pay attention when changing lanes! Twice today I almost got run off the road or hit by an RV and/or Semi because they weren't paying attention to the far left lane (where they shouldn't be to begin with). I know they could see me because I could see their driver's side window and was clearly in view of their rear-view mirrors. Coming from someone who still suffers the emotional and mental effects of flipping my car a year and a half ago, this was not a good day. After the second time, I laid on my horn for the first time in my life, I started exhibiting symptoms of a panic attack...behind the wheel! Thank God I remembered what B told me the last time I started having a panic attack while in the car last year after getting run off the road while on our way to a wedding. So please RV and Semi and all other drivers, PAY ATTENTION!!!
