Surround Me in Bubble Wrap and Call Me a Cab

On Friday my car was rear ended and now the exhaust system is dangling and my rear bumper a mangled mess. I’ve been waiting to talk to an insurance adjuster from the other guy’s insurance company to see if they’ll cover the cost of a rental car until my car can be fixed.

Yesterday I drove Studly’s pickup truck to run errands around Tallahassee. His truck is longer than the car I’m accustomed to driving, and it doesn’t have a backup camera like mine does, and long story short, I dented his bumper while backing out of a tight parking spot.

Now I feel as though I shouldn’t be allowed to drive ever again, unless of course the car I’m in is surrounded in bubble wrap.

I’m feeling pretty low. Anyone want to boost my spirits?

Peace, people.

  1. Having a “sticky beak” at my neighbour’s wife (who I had never seen since moving into the area), I came up to my driveway, put my foot on the accelerator instead of the brake and crumpled the front of my beautiful new sportscar. I was most upset, and serves me right. My son (young teenager at the time), said “why are you so upset mum, it’s just a piece of metal! Got that into perspective in one. These things happen, don’t stress.
