So how was your day?
I missed something when I looked at on call status for work this morning, so I got paged. I didn't handle it right the first time. (Foreshadowing!)
I did get a bike ride in, during which a panel truck turned right in front of me. I remember thinking, 'Their signal isn't on. Do they see me? Will they turn into that driveway?' The answers were no and yes, respectively. I swerved to avoid the truck toward a sidewalk and braked hard, and I ended up wiping out on the concrete, which was still wet from rain. My helmet did its job, my thigh is bruised, one knuckle on my left hand is sore, and my right hip joint is so sore I have to walk very gingerly.
Did I ever mention that the Devil Girl House is full of stairs?
The truck driver & passenger, plus another driver, made sure I was OK. I got my bike straightened out, and went on my not-so-merry way. It was probably pure adrenaline that got me home. I passed my son on the way and we talked briefly. I don't think either of us knew at the time how badly I got hurt.
On call continues to suck, and it's partly my own fault.
And I just found out that Rep. Sarah Mcbride, the newly elected trans Congresswoman from Delaware, essentially rolled over about the vile new bathroom bill that Republicans want to pass about federal facilities.

The horrible politics and rhetoric around transpeople is distressing. The circus in the house -- i'm more disappointed in every other person in congress than Mcbride.

As if you needed that. Oh, I forgot to mention: about two minutes after I left the scene of my accident, I got paged for on call again.
