Layers on top (shirt, sweatshirt, and winter parka), so that I think my ribs didn’t get it nearly as bad as they could have.

The one good thing is that I had been carrying my purse on that side, and when I was trying to put my hood up because of rain, the strap got caught inside the hood and caused my purse to ride a bit higher. (I had been feeling stupid for dragging my purse with all night.) I was also wearing three

Had a green light, they always have to yield to pedestrians. “We didn’t see you, though!”

the car in the turn lane turned into the street behind us. The problem was that the car behind them had gotten impatient and wasn’t paying attention and turned wide…right into the lane I was currently crossing. Husband was five steps ahead of me, and best we can figure is that they saw him and

I looked to make sure that the person in the turn lane was going to give me the right of way when their light turned green and the pedestrian crossing turned to walk. They weren’t moving, so we started walking. We were crossing a one way with four lanes, and after we got past the first lane,

I was at the ER until 4 this morning. I am achy and probably going to bruise up, but they couldn’t find anything wrong with me. I appear to have no broken bones or anything like that. Keeping fingers crossed that it stays that way. The right side of my rib cage is hurting.
