Things...
Well, I was going to blog about how nice it was to go to sleep last night with the window open. The warmth and the distant hum of outside traffic always reminds me of being on holiday.
Then, around 4:30 when I woke up to go to the loo, Nick was most distressed about his eyes being lasered. He is now panicking that he has done the wrong thing. That the light sensitivity, poor night vision, and halo-ness isn't temporary and is in fact permanent. He worries that he rushed into it, that although he researched the procedure and companies, he didn't research the possible long lasting side effects, and didn't ask enough questions beforehand. He has another check up tomorrow, which I won't be there for, but I hope they will reassure him, as he was most distraught last night. I've told him to research online, but he tells me he is scared of the answer, and scared that it will be permanent and that he shouldn't have had it done. I don't really know what to say.
Then, this morning, around 6:45 as I am driving into work, I get into a fender bender with a lorry/van thing. I think it's his fault, he thinks it's mine. I get flustered, get his details, but let him drive off without calling the police etc. Especially as I notice he's flattened my tyre and I need to call the AA to get me moving again. As a result, I don't get into work early enough, and have had to cancel my doctor's appointment.
Although, I'm actually not feeling too bad about that because yee-ha, last night I managed to run 6 miles, and I probably could have done a bit more, but I ran out of water and brow-mopping tissue. My knee started to ache a little bit, but I was so chuffed because that is the first time I've managed to run more than 2 miles in around 2 months. Maybe I will be able to do the 10k in a few weeks after all.
Anyway, together with the broken boiler and the damage to my lovely car (although thank god it wasn't Nick's!), this is likely to be an expensive month.

He's such a worrywort as well!
Glad you're okay from your accident - could have been worse. Maybe you need to put up a sign for witnesses to confirm either account? Or does this kind of thing usually get settled by the insurance companies?
Well done too about your run - that's quite some stamina you've got there. I'm far more of a slow bike ride in front of the tv kind of person.
The AA man said that he thought it sounded like the other bloke's fault from my description and the damage done... he gave me his card to act as witness if I needed.
I think I'll see how much the damage is going to cost first.
It was kind of a parallel side by side collision - which is why I think it was his fault because if I had turned into him then my back end would have been at an angle, but we were completely aligned, implying that we both pulled out at the same time, but that he went straight ahead instead of turning left to follow the outside curve of the roundabout, when I went straight ahead to get into the middle lane of the roundabout.
My wheel got completely stuck on his wheel nut, so when he tried to pull off, it dragged me along with him, until he jiggled his steering around a bit.
lots of difficult things, except for your stellar run!! Yay you!
Hope all works out with the fender bender and I am glad no one was hurt.
