Almost 50 years old and was in my first car accident today. Fortunately neither driver was harmed and my car only sustained structural damage. Emotionally though, I'm surprised where my feelings have taken me. I'm surprised at how vulnerable I feel right now. I'm surprised that I didn't want to get back in my car and drive away when the time came. I was actually frightened and overly vigilant about my driving all the way home and wary of other cars on the road. I found myself white knuckling the steering wheel and holding my breath. I hope this passes quickly. Tomorrow I start with the claims processors I guess, got as far as I could with them today but that wasn't far since it was Sunday. This whole process is new to me and very confusing. Oh well wish me luck. I'm very grateful neither of us were physically harmed.
Guess what we had for dinner? Eh-hem, we had ice cream and chocolate chip cookies (from frozen store bought dough). I dropped the goods on the couch, told Piper that was dinner, she just up looked up at me and said, "What happened?!" This is total stress mode dinner. I explained, we hugged, I told her I was scared to get back in the car, she told me to get over it then we watched a fun movie. Poor choice of movie, we forgot it had a car accident in it, whew. Oh well, it did make me laugh - and cry when the girl broke the guys heart. Love can be tougher on a person than a car accident. Hmmmmm . . . . . . . . . . . . . love gone the way of heartbreak can leave a person shell shocked like a car accident too come to think of it.
Buntah is being so cute tonight. She's sitting behind her pot in her Townhouse on my dresser, she keeps peaking around the corner at me like Tad does when we play Hide and Seek. Now she's peeking from the other side, funny girl!
I don't feel so good at the moment. Overload of nerves, standing too long in the hot burning sun and eating ice cream and cookies for dinner doesn't sit well with me I guess - and no I'm not surprised. Just didn't have it left in me to cook when I got home. Didn't finish cleaning up the mess I started before I left either. You know when you get in one of those moods to haul out and deep clean everything in your bathroom - like once every two years - under the sink, go through all old medications, toss old half used stuff, baseboards, shelves, rugs, clean all the little bottles etc., yeah, that's what I was doing when I had to leave for an errand that couldn't wait until tomorrow. And apparently that's what I'll finish tomorrow night after babysitting and dealing with car insurance claim processors. I would wait till the "mood" revisits me but that may take another two years and I really don't want to walk around the mess that long. Darnit! Forgot to bathe Ginger, no wonder she's giving me shifty eyes!! Poor Baby!! OK, that's it! I'm officially a mess tonight. Signing off!!!!
