This isn't 100% happy so this may be the wrong forum. My roommate (not the blatantly bitchy/gossipy one but still one that annoys me frequently) got into an accident halfway into an 8 hour drive home for spring break. She got into it because she has a seizure and being that she has a condition that causes mild seizures she probably should not have been on the road at all especially when she forgot to take pills. I've refused to make the drive with her the last couple of times due to a scare with similar circumstances over the summer on one of those exact 8 hour drives. It's a silly detail of no matter now but had I gone with her I'd have been crunched along with the passenger side of her car. Although if I had gone with her hopefully I would have thought fast and taken the wheel. But this isn't a post about me getting lucky.
She is just fine, contrary to her car. All the little things I was at wit's end with her the last month are insignificant. I'm just really happy she's ok. She's disappointed that her license got taken away but that is the least of my concerns. Again, I'm ridiculously happy she's ok. I didn't bother waking up this morning to say bye either, because I am a douche roommate absorbed in my own world. Even though she has her downsides she has been the only one besides my boyfriend who hasn't judged me on my recent complete life and school failure. Now I feel that I should've been better to her. I'm even more ashamed that it took a close call car wreck for me to get a clue about that. I was kind of sad to drop her at the airport a bit ago.
So spacefemmers, this is incredibly cliche and hackneyed but appreciate even the people in your life that you can hardly stand. Also, if you have a medical condition which puts your driving in danger please, please donnot drive. I'm on a strange happy high at the fact that she is ok even if this isn't a happy circumstance.
TL;DR
A roommate I have been shit to got in a wreck but is completely ok therefore making me a weird kind of deliriously happy.


ARRR!
