So, yesterday, I drove by the bank after work to pick up some quarters for laundry and re-order my cheques. It was freakishly cold so I parked out in front on the street. I suppose that as I was pulling away from the curb I was in a bit of a hurry, the street I was on is generally busy at that time of day and there was a nice-sized break in traffic as cars down the street waited for a light to change. Whatever the reason, I was puling out when I ran right into the side of a car that I hadn't even seen.
Fuck
Poor kid didn't even know what hit him. He'd only had his license for a couple of weeks so here I am, the adult, never been in an accident but in charge of the situation. Blah, blah, blah, long story short, the front right side of my car is banged up, it drives but not too well. I'm grateful that no one was hurt and all that but damn I don't want to have to pay the freaking insurance deductible. And here I was just about to get out of debt, too.
After dealing with all of that and its attendent rigamarole (which included both calling the insurance company and dealing with my mother) I finally made it back to my apartment. I mainlined on The West Wing, did my laundry, and fell asleep on the couch.
However, I opened up my email this morning and found a delightful new icon from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
