Yesterday, as my mom and I were heading home from once again driving to Idaho to get some Powerball tickets for the holiday, I was almost side-swiped by a driver who didn’t see me. I didn’t notice him/her either until my mom screamed and I reacted by swerving to the left lane. It’s not good to drive with someone who screams like the world’s about to end as a passenger. Thankfully, I was able to control my car and the car in the left lane was quite a ways behind because otherwise, yesterday could’ve ended very different.

Clearly, someone or something from the great beyond is telling me, “don’t go out this holiday!” I am basing this accusation on nearly side-swiped yesterday, nearly getting T-boned last month, and the three dreams about getting into a car accident in the last two weeks.

I went online and tried to interpret my dreams and all the interpretations told me that car collision dreams either mean a significant change is coming or I’m heading down a wrong path. I wish whatever that is supposed to happen would happen already because it’s making me nervous.

Meanwhile, it seems like my mom and her sisters want to go out during the Christmas break and they all want me to take them. My aunt – mom’s younger sister – was already asking if I have any plans to go somewhere over Christmas. I told her no and she told me to include her in my plan, as if I’m an agent and she’s booking a trip through me. My mom has also begun suggesting places like Las Vegas. I told her I plan to relax and read this Christmas, she didn’t seem to hear me though. In fact, no one hears me in this family.

Honestly, I just want to stay home and cuddle with a good book, is that too much to ask? Besides, everyone in the family has a car and knows how to drive, why do they need me to tag along, might be a mystery I’ll never understand. It’s not as if I enjoy myself very much on these trips. So why can’t I just stay home and relax for the next two weeks?
