I nearly had a serious wreck this morning, but fortunately everything went ok. Today was punctuated by bouts of extremely heavy rainfall, and there was standing water on the roads even this morning. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I lost control of my vehicle and spun around for a few seconds before coming to a stop. I'm lucky nothing else happened, but I'm still puzzled. I probably hydroplaned, but I wasn't able to get the car going until I restarted it. I would depress the foot pedal and nothing happened; I'm a bit worried that I might have damaged the vehicle in some way. I'm pretty clueless about cars so I don't even know where to begin on diagnosing the problem.
The rain only intensified by the time I left work; I could barely see five feet from my car. It doesn't help that I see in the dark very poorly either. I was apprehensive because of what had happened that morning so I drove the whole way home at a snail's pace. It may not have been necessary, but I felt like I was frequently halfway submerged in water on those country roads, so I erred on the side of caution.
I have the next two days off, so I'm hoping I'll finally have some time to sleep and recharge. I haven't been thinking clearly lately and lack of sleep seems a likely culprit. I'm going to try to make a more interesting post tomorrow because it feels like I've been phoning it in for these past few. It's really just because I've been so tired and surly. Gonna play a bunch of Baldur's Gate II and hopefully make some meaningful progress. I've also resumed playing Advance Wars: Dual Strike which I haven't touched in three years. My backlog is large and intimidating.
