I know that I’m a lucky girl.
I’ve got a great big family and a bunch of wacky friends who care about me. I have a steady job, a nice car, and live in comfort.
Of course, you can lose it all in a second.
I realized that as I drove to San Diego today. My sister was throwing a Fob Party for her boyfriend’s 30th birthday. If you don’t know what a Fob Party is, it’s a bit of a self-deprecating phrase/term of endearment for a family party. It was a term we used growing up in San Diego as part of the immigrant Filipino community. The though being that we’re all fobs and family, but it’s good and even great to be that way.
But I digress. As I was driving south on the 15 FWY, someone’s furniture fell out of their pick-up truck. Apparently, an empty dresser does not have enough weight on it’s own to weather 70+ miles per hour in the back of a pick-up.
The truck was in a slower lane, but the dresser flew across the whole freeway, landing near the fast lane, just a few feet away from my car. I swung my C-RV to the left (but not into the center divide), and sped around the debris, my heart pounding. A few seconds faster, my passenger side (along with my mother) would have been hit. Luckily, I’ve been trained in the art of swerving from my years playing Mario Cart and other video games.
Note to self: Might need to put some time to play Lego Star Wars’ flight simulators to sharpen skills.
After the near-accident, we went on our merry way and reached our destination without any further danger.
Of course, seconds can mean life or death or paying out a deductible. I enjoyed the Fob party and the yummy food, drove home and took a nice, life affirming nap.
Thankfully, no more furniture was hurt in the process of returning home. Monday is fast approaching and everything is pretty swell, you know, cuz I didn’t have an accident. Score one for all those video games that gave me a pretty fast reaction time.
