awww man

I swerved, I braked the moment I saw the tabby streaking out of the darkness. After a 13 hour day, the last thing I needed was this but then again getting hit with a car going 55 mph was literally the last thing the cat needed. It's pitch black. I can't stop since there's no shoulder. I feel horrible. I know I did everything I could to miss him but he hit my car door squarely. THere wasn't a prayer of walking away from it.

Tomorrow will suck. I have to talk to the doctor about the possibility of damage having been done to my pancreas by byetta.

i had forgotten how little time i'll have for writing with the haunted theatre. We kick off tomorrow and I get to miss opening night. sigh.

Aw, man, I'm sorry about the kitty. There are just times when you just can't do anything to avoid something like that. I hit a kitty almost 30 years ago, and it still haunts me. :-(

I hope that there isn't any damage to your pancreas. I send all good vibes your way. ((hugs))

thanks. I know there has been.I'vebeen saying this since i was first put on it (and quickly taken off) and now it's into the lawsuit stage with this drug

OK, yes I'll admit to thinking, when I see dead cats on the road, "What @sshole wouldn't stop for that poor cat!"

It is sometimes unavoidable.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

sadly very unavoidable

[ljgould.livejournal.com]

Sorry that happened. I hope you'll be OK.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm okay thanks

Things just happen

I did that once too, it sucked but there was nothing I could have done differently. Nothing beats what my sister did...she not only ran a cat over, but didn't know what it was ( guessed what it was) and back up and ran the poor thing over again!

okay that IS bad.

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

Am so sorry that happened to you, Dana :/

Hope the visit to the doctor goes well. *hugs*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks very much (btw I did add you to the original fiction filter)

Aw, that's sad about the kitty. Good luck with your pancreas.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

Sorry to hear about the cat, I know it must be terribly upsetting.

Hope it goes well with the doctor.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks on both accounts

Sorry about the kitty. Hope you don't feel too awful, I'm sure there was nothing you could have done.

I was with a friend when she hit a pigeon once, it was very upsetting.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I've hit a wild animal or two but hitting kitty really felt bad

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Poor kitty! They come at you so fast there's usually nothing you can do about it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you have to wonder how something with such keen instincts can't see a huge white thing hurtling at them

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

I know! It's like the poor things just wait for you before jumping out.

Buck up, buddy! My friend in Cleveland works in a grocery store (one of the high-end, fancy schmancy gourmet types) and she got to watch a regular customer drop dead! Massive heart attack right there in the wine section.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah that sucks

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I hate it when animals (especially cats) run out into the road and you just can't do anything about it. Silly animals.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i know. it's so frustrating

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Awwww - so sorry about the cat. I know how awful that feels cause I hit a huge wild rabbit once.... thought I'd never get over/forgive myself for that one.

And, yikes, hope your pancreas is okay :/

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I'm still sad about the cat

always sad about this body
