I got my car back last night! Oh man, does it feel good to have it parked in front of my apartment again. Driving it home was very stressful because it was the first time I've driven since I went off the highway going 45 mph. It was dark and windy last night, so I was a tense ball of stress the entire way home, going no faster than about 60 mph. I tried to go faster, but my breathing and heart rate increased exponentially with my speed, so I did only what I could physically handle. Which wasn't much let me tell you--I'm such a wimp. Mom says it will go away, and I can only hope so because I have to drive to Flint twice this week. >_<
On the bright side, at least my green machine is back with me. I also received my check from Ferris earlier than anticipated, so I can finally breath easy again! I'm thinking of using a couple of those precious dollars to buy myself a new fish, because talking to myself in my apartment seemed a little less crazy when I had Benzie.

I had pretty much the same experience in the winter of 05/06, I was going from Battle Creek to Kzoo on 94 and hit ice and spun a few times and went into the ditch. It took me a long time to get comfortable enough to drive like "normal" in icy snowy weather, although to tell you the truth, I still remember and I still drive slightly more cautiously. Hang it there. xoxox I'll be praying for your drives :)
Aww, Thanks a lot Kate. :) That's almost exactly what happened to me--I was on I-69 about six miles from I-94 on my way to Kzoo, and just hit a bad stretch of ice. It makes me feel a little better to know that all of this is normal. Thanks for the words of encouragement. :)
XOXO
