Accident on Freeway

This past one week of my life has been the longest ever. Those of you who read my tumblelog might remember that I was relocating to St. Louis. I spent a couple of days packing my stuff. When I thought that nothing could go wrong…I had a terrible accident on I-44 E, 50 miles away from St. Louis. The car tire burst and the car got out of control. It broke through the metalbarriers and landed on the opposite side of the freeway (where the traffic flows in the opp. direction). There were three 16 wheelers just inches away from us. Our car got totaled. I don’t know how we managed to survive. It was a horrific accident and I thought that I was living the final moments of my life. I guess my determination to not die like this, on a road, is what motivated me to keep my eyes open and save us. And it really helped. A very kind lady stopped for us and helped us remove the important stuff from our wrecked car, and also took the pains of leaving us all the way at our friend’s place in St. Louis. I don’t even know how I could ever thank her for this.

I’m really grateful for the fact that I’m alive and it’s definitely a miracle that me and my fiancee got away without any injuries. Even more surprising is the fact that nobody hit us and that we didn’t hit any car by mistake. Like the lady who helped us said “The best way to repay me is to pass on this deed of kindness to someone else in his time of need”. And I plan to do just that.

So, I’m in a new city now…with no car. The first thing I need to do is buy a new car ASAP. There are so many other logistics that I need to take care of. I’ve hardly found any time to come online. I hope life gets better.

Today

Today is a big day. I’m done packing…finally. I’ll be relocating and might not be online much, (for the next 48 hours), unless I click pics and post them via my cell phone. I hope everything goes off well. There is still lots of work to be taken care of, after I reach St. Louis- unpacking, buying new furniture etc etc. I hope it’s all worth it. Please pray for us! :)

It’s so difficult for me to have fun and be happy right now. I really needed this reminder. Thank you very much! :)

Relocation Update

I have hardly read anything over the internet in the last few days. So I have absolutely nothing to share with you people, except my sob relocation story. I don’t think I’ve worked so much in a long long time.

Things that I did today:

  1. Got the gas fixed for the new house in the new city
  2. Got lots of paperwork for my employment done.
  3. Got most of my furniture sold
  4. Went out with beau to get formals for him
  5. Started packing
  6. Still more packing to do
  7. More packing
  8. More packing

Did I mention that my entire body’s aching? Since I sold my bed and mattress, I have nothing to sleep on (except the carpet). I hope life gets better in the next couple of weeks. Every dog has its Day! Yay! :)

The Big Move

This is the longest I’ve stayed from Tumblr in the last couple of weeks. My house moving has been really bumpy. Too much work and I’m really exhausted…extremely tired. Haven’t slept much either. I still have a lot of work to be taken care of.

Two Important Lessons that I learned in the past two days-

  1. Prayers can do miracles- I had my mom and an aunt praying for me religiously, and I feel that it has somehow made things a lil easier. :)

  2. If you need (not want) something really badly, then you’ll find a way of getting it.

I hope you noticed my absence though. ;)

Margaret Atwood

you fit into me
like a hook into an eye

a fish hook

-A short poem by Margaret Atwood

I worship her.

Oh me too! I’ve read almost all her books. My favorite is “The Blind Assassin”, which also won the Booker Prize. This is my favorite poem by Atwood:

This is a Photograph of Me

It was taken some time ago At first it seems to be a smeared print: blurred lines and grey flecks blended with the paper;

then, as you scan it, you can see something in the left-hand corner a thing that is like a branch: part of a tree (balsam or spruce) emerging and, to the right, halfway up what ought to be a gentle slope, a small frame house.

In the background there is a lake, and beyond that, some low hills.

(The photograph was taken the day after I drowned.

I am in the lake, in the center of the picture, just under the surface.

It is difficult to say where precisely, or to say how large or how small I am: the effect of water on light is a distortion.

but if you look long enough eventually you will see me.)
