I was involved in a car accident today. Nothing awful, but probably will be lots of $$$ to fix. A guy rear-ended me at a stoplight. It was totally his fault and he was given a ticket, but he was super gracious and apologetic about it and seemed like a nice guy. Hopefully, he’s a nice guy with good insurance. He was in a dualie (did I spell that right?) pickup truck with a big trailer attached, so it felt like I was being hit by a Mack truck. Luckily, I totally didn’t see it coming, so didn’t have time to “tense up” beforehand. Hopefully that will mean I won’t be as sore tomorrow, but I already have a sore, stiff neck and a bad headache in my forehead area. I am trying very hard to NOT think about the fact that my forehead probably hurts because my brain slammed against the front of my skull upon impact.
Anyway, I’m OK and so were the three guys in the other car (a remodeling crew). Everyone had on seatbelts, so it will likely (hopefully) just be a matter of fixing the cars. His truck was pretty smashed: the hood was crumpled up and the brushguard on the front was pretty damaged. The frame is bent on my car and the bumper is hosed, so I’m sure that it will be quite costly to fix. I’ve been toying with the idea of a new car, anyway, so I may just get it fixed and then start looking for other options.
Thank goodness I had already prepared tonight’s dinner – it just needs to bake for 45 minutes while I sit on the couch and let my Aleve kick in. Be careful out there, kids.
PS – Today’s good news? My favorite shampoo that I LOVE more than anything but just can’t stomach buying unless it’s on sale? It’s on sale!
