This year was the first 4^th of July that I did not drink alcohol.  It was good…went and visited with friends, watched a lot of fireworks with the soothing sound of crickets in the background…it was nice. I was remembering spending Independence Day in DC metro, where I was born.  Boy do they know how to blow some shit up!!  I miss the history there sometimes…there’s just a tad bit more there than here in the middle of the country.

Yesterday, while pondering life, and when I was going to get my nails done, I got a flashback from my car wreck last year…I have never had one from that incident, and what I was feeling/remembering…I had never experienced before.  Obviously. It kinda freaked me out.  I have had flashbacks from the home invasion, but nothing related to my wreck to date, until then. I’ll have to talk to my doctor about it, or at least be prepared.  Evidently my mind is just now ready to remember some things that I was unaware of.  It’s exhausting and I’m glad I had my furkids here with me…now I know why my little one was acting the way he was. I swear he knows. People think I’m crazy when I talk about my pets like this, but I wouldn’t have made it out alive thus far, without them.
