I've had a over a week of feeling ill. It started a week last Friday. Headache, cold etc. had some intense dreams, waking up 3-4 in the morning which can leave me feeling tired, I'm up at 5:40 am for work on my early shift.
Its been a struggle, culminating today in something that happened at work.
I was out first thing and had returned to the office.Tuesday is vehicle check day. I normally leave the checks untill the end of the day but I filled the form in before going back out on a visit.
As was finishing the form I had a clear thought come through. " You shouldn't do this now in case you have an accident" I wondered where that thought popped up from at the time. It certainly got my attention. I went back out and was parked on a busy roundabout in the city at traffic lights. I was accompanied by a colleague and we were parked next to a large artic lorry. There were 4 lanes and the lorry was on my outside. The lights turned green and we set off.The lorry cut across my lane and my colleague shouted a warning. I managed to swerve but the lorry scraped into my rear door/drivers side. I don't think he saw me it was a high cab. I was in shock although not hurt and stopped the car. I think the lorry was behind me. It's a busy roundabout and I wanted to get off it immediately. There was a side road after one of the exits that led to a work site. I pulled into that.
The lorry didn't even stop and just drove away, not sure if he even realised he'd hit me.
Close call and it's shaken me up a bit though thankfully no one was hurt.
I noted later that I' was travelling a different route than I would normally go. You can get to the destination either way. The strange thing though I hadn't consciously thought about doing that so in a way I put myself in that position. It felt like a warning though I may be over thinking it.
The illness has hit me quite hard and I'm tired. I think this event may of been a wake up call, my awareness is off at the moment. I felt like the universe had sent me a message today.
I've had vsrious ailments over the last 6 months. Achilles tendonitis, recently got tennis elbow. I've also had a skin condition which effected my eye lids which was strange though seems to be a bit better now.
I do realise where the cold came from as the coleagues who sit either side of me at work. Both had double jabs, COVID and flu so hardly surprising I've picked up the nasty effects of that! All my family have been ill with it. Anyway, thanks listening.
