30 Something

I was in a car accident on yesterday. I was driving to work and on the way through a residential area not going more than 30mph and the back of my truck started fish tailing out of control. I finally did a 360, jumped the curb and landed in a ladies front lawn. The concrete boulder that surrounded her yard broke the spin. My car ended up sitting on top of the concrete boulder. It happened so fast that I didn't know what to do. I just sat there for a minute. I just knew that my truck was a mess. I just knew that I hit a pole or something. I finished praying to God, thanking him that I was still alive and tried to get out of the car. My door was stuck. I crawled out of the passengers side door and went around to examine the damage. There wasn't a scratch. I looked closer and there was a dent underneath the driver's side door that caused it to be stuck. I was advised not to force it open because I probably wouldn't be able to close it back before I got it fixed. I had to call a tow truck to get me out. After I got unstuck I immediately went to Menards to get sandbags. My friend took me and the roads were so bad that that we slid around in his car even with the sandbags in the back of his car. I was so scared. The crazy thing is that I had a dream about the accident the night before and I tried to make a mental note to remember to drive carefully, but I didn't remember. I was still driving carefully, but the roads were really bad. At the stop light ahead of me there was another accident.
