I had a good day today. I had the last face to face class with my students. They still have two online classes to do and I have 11 papers to grade which will come in next week.

My daughter had a minor wreck today. It could have bee really bad, but it turned out to be OK, and even a little funny. Brooke, Abigail and Emma were coming home from the beach. Abi was surfing and did well till she got stung by a jellyfish. It wrapped around her calf, so it covered a larger area. But she is tough.

Then on the way home, they got sideswiped by an expedition going 70 MPH. That would have scared me to death. Brooke said they were just driving along when the SUV was on top of them. To make matters worse, the vehicle didn't stop, and when Brooke a looked, it didn't have a tag. So she just followed it and honked and got beside them and waved and finally they pulled over. They did not speak English so communication was difficult. Brooke called the police before she got them stopped and they were therebpretty quickly. They had just bought the car so it had paper tags but they were not on the vehicle. So if Brooke had not gotten them to stop, they could have gotten away. She said she was prepared to follow them till they stopped.

Here's the funny part. Since they had been at the beach, they were all in swim suits. Now my daughter is about 60 lbs overweight. Plus, in her words, "Here I am standing on the side of the road for 45 minutes in my swimsuit looking like a beached whale and because we'd been to the beach, I had sand in my hooha. It felt soooo good - NOT"

Now, this is funnier because a few years ago, Gary and I ran out to get something (can't remember what) and Gary was in his pajamas. We were sitting perfectly stopped at a red light when a car from the other lane ran the red light, hit a car which slammed into Gary and I. The kicker was the driver of the car that ran the red light jumped out of the car and ran. We were at an extremely busy intersection and because the driver ran, we were there a loooong time, AND GARY WAS IN HIS PAJAMAS. Everyone who saw the wreck, including us of course, had to give our account to the police and Gary is standing in the intersection for a loooooong time in his pajamas! Lol! So we have always joked about having a wreck in your pajamas, now we'll have to add swim suits to that.
