A January of Crazy!

Alright friends.
So January keeps getting crazier. Let me tell you why.

January 5th - I was biking home from work and got hit by a car. Yep. Crazy. Pick-up truck ran a stop sign and hit my front wheel. I had lights on my bike and a helmet on. I'm ok, my bike was a write-off, and ICBC gave me a cheque to compensate. Had some wicked bruising and a sore back for a few days, but I'm hoping to be fine, forever.

January 24th - I dropped my phone in a puddle. Thought it might be toast. Left it in rice overnight, which dried it right out. Thank you rice.

January 25th - I was running late in the morning, and as I juggled my coffee, keys, phone and bus pass, I ran out the door and tripped on a step. I went flying and REALLY dug my palms into the pavement, taking a chunk out of my left hand, the size of a nickle. Had to run to the bus and ride to work with a bloody hand, which I covered under my glove - which KILLED! I got nauseous and almost fainted when I had to clean the grit out of it later that day.

January 26th - A man came into my work this morning, asking for my bosses. They weren't there, but he insisted he call my boss. He fed me (and my boss, on the phone) a story about needing to borrow money to pay a taxi to get him to his recently towed car. He told me he worked in the neighborhood and totally spoke as if he knew my bosses. Anyway, after promising he'd be back in an hour, and leaving his name, wife's name, phone number and work, I "lent" him some money. I tried calling the number shortly after... it doesn't exist. I got SCAMMED. I was oh sooooo MAD! - mostly at my own naivety. He was so convincing.

All that said. I'm ok with January ending next week. Although interesting, I'm done with the injuries and things breaking/getting stolen!
