I just got hit by a car (Im fine -- no worries) while crossing the street and my instinct was to put my BODY between my LAPTOP and the CAR. Thats right. I reflexively jumped and wrapped my body around my bag like I was the big spoon who wasnt gonna take no cuddling for an answer, turning my back to the car. As I was sliding across the hood, the most salient thought in my mind was Did I back up my laptop today? Im in the air. No. Shit. I didnt. Yesterday? I land on the ground, on my feet, like Batman. If Batman wore flip flops. I DID back it up yesterday. And then I felt relieved. I was also super mad at the driver who just HIT me, obviously, but the primary feeling I experienced was relief. Not that my body wasnt broken, but that I backed up my laptop yesterday. Then the driver, who never came to a full stop during this little low speed debacle, mouthed, Im sorry and drove away. Thats what my life has come to, folks. Im the Batman my laptop needs, but not the one my body deserves right now. Oh, so when I said I was fine earlier, I meant physically. Obviously my priorities are incredibly out of whack. Back to work :)
