7 Days Since My Last Accident

I like to celebrate my wins in life. You are probably wondering....now what happened seven days ago??? Not much just totaled my car. The car I bought because my ex husband totaled the car that I loved.....that one - that is the one I rammed into the back end of a Tahoe. I had to run a couple errands on the way to work. Just so it is clear - I was sober when the accident happened. I did however have some unsual items in the car at the time of the crash. One was a rather large bag of cat food. The other was my largest suitcase that can fit a dead body in. Not that I have....yet.

So I run my errand to get the cat food. I am on my way home when I hit the red light. I see the light turn green and it takes a while for everyone in front of me to get going....and when we do a piece of paper floats off of my passenger seat. Which of course draws my attention to it for a split second. In that split second....the traffic in front of me stopped. I slam on my breaks, way too late. The front end of my car ends up concave and my air bags deployed. Or as a friend of mine has said the Clairebags have deployed. Indeed they have. The smoke....not powder....SMOKE from the air bags is almost more scary than the accident itself. I first check my teeth - and thank goodness they were all there - no damage what so ever. I could really care less about the car....lets face it people these pearly whites have caused me more heart ache than anything else on earth. There is a silver lining....teeth are fine, I am fine, the guy I hit is fine. All was as well as it could be.

The motorcycle cop shows up - I am totally expecting him to be an asshole. Cuz lets face it most cops are. Instead he was very nice even pulled my suitcase out of the car. Gave me a ticket but he was nice about it. He even waited on the side of the road with me until my car was towed away and while I waited for Ali to come and pick me up. That must have been a site to see. I had to look like some retarded hobo. Standing there with a giant bag of cat food and suitcase I could sleep in....luckily Ali was there very quickly and I did not have to wait for long by the side of the road. But what a vision I made that morning with the cat food and ginorma suitcase.

I have since talked with my insurance company and there was more damage than the car was worth - thus the totaling of the car. Which works out really for the good because I was planning on selling the car. And what I was going to sell the car for - the insurance company paid me a little more than twice that amount. So I am not sure if subconsciously I wrecked or the planets were aligning for the good for me. What ever the reason....I have had seven consecutive days since that have been accident free. So yeah me! And yeah I still have my teeth.
