today i had an average-to-easy (but not great because we weren't doing anything super spectacular) day at work, followed by a car trip with aiza to christie's workplace to pick up my new (previously owned/used by jen) bike that had arrived there today.
that was followed by a fantastic trip to berkeley bowl west (only the best grocery store on the planet). oh how i love glorious amounts of local cheap delicious produce and bulk food bins.
then we were driving home on the labyrinth of highway that lies around the east bay, on our way to my place for some foodstuff before climbing, when a semi trying to go by us in the lane beside us sideswipes aiza's car.
the important things are that we're okay, the car isn't damaged that badly, and that we filed a report since i wrote down the plate number (correctly, i hope).
it's just weird. you're minding your own business on a not-so-bad day and then a semi takes the paint and a considerable amount of metal off the rear side bumper of your car. i was a little shaken up, but amazed and comforted by how calm aiza was. had it been my 2009 honda civic, i probably would have been dropping f-bombs right and left.
aiza inspires me to do and be all sorts of things. being able to react that way to future crises is something i want to do, too.
my grandpa always says this when he's doing just that. i tried to start a previous blog with a similar title but i need a more personal blog. so here's another try.
