Dear Deer,

So. I hit a deer a deer jumped/tumbled over my car on Friday, as I was driving home from work….

heh.

I saw one leap across the road, so I braked to look for more, cuz they never travel in ones around here…I didn’t see any in front of me or on the side of the road. And then in my peripheral vision, I saw it. Coming right at my driver side window. At that point, I was probably going maybe 5 or 10 miles an hour, but I thought it was going to come right thru the window at me. Then there was a knock/thud of its hooves hitting the window. I stopped completely and looked behind me to see if it was ok, and it was bounding down the hill, so I assumed it didn’t break its legs or anything. I sat and stared at the mud on my window that hadn’t been there before. There were a few deer hairs on the window as well, which confirmed that the event had, in fact, taken place. Cuz at that point, I wasn’t so sure. I mean. A deer lept over my car?? Granted, I have a short car. And, I guess it only *tried* to leap, but didn’t clear it, since it did leave hair and mud prints.

Well, I had finally gotten my replacement phone the nite before- which meant it had no numbers in it, ‘cept M’s and her kids, cuz I had been babysitting that nite and put them in. I wanted to call the school and tell Lisa or Paula or someone, and warn them about the deer. I just wanted to call SOMEONE. I tried J’s cell phone, but I guess I didn’t remember the right number. So, I called L, cuz I knew her number by heart. heh.

I checked when I got home, and there wasn’t any damage, except a small scrape above the window. But then today I was walking by my car and I noticed there is also a dent by the back window. Not sure if it’s from the deer, but I have to assume it is, due to placement. It’s not in a place where a shopping cart or even a truck door would’ve been able to make such a dent.

I was pretty freaked out about the whole thing for a while last nite. I had never hit a deer before. heh.

So I went to wally world and bought a betta fish, lol.

Of course, now I have to find my fish tank and clean it and set it all up and stuff. Tho I recall reading that bettas don’t actually *like* big spaces. But I hate to see them in those teeny tiny little bowls that people keep them in. So I think I will set up my tank- it’s only like, 2.5 or maybe 5 gallons, and get a big hidey rock thing and some plants for it. I just babysat for Jen’s kids and she paid me way too much money, so. Why not be stupid and spend it on shit I don’t need, right? Right. *rolls eyes*
