Get those codes read soon. When my transmission started doing that, it was too late, it was roached but i didnt have the od light blinking so it may be something simple.

Check the fluid for burnt odors and be sure it's up to the correct level. If it's nice and red and at the right level.....it's toast.

The blinking OD light is another indication that the tranny is going out. Pull #9 fuse under the hood or remove both battery cables for 15 minutes or so. This resets the PCM, It may buy you a little time so you might be able to get it to a tranny shop to have the codes read.
