Update on the car...

The insurance estimator came out yesterday and looked the car over. She wrote down some information, took some pictures and said thanks. She told me I should expect a call either that evening (everything is wirelessly transmitted and she said because of the cloud cover it might take all day to transmit) or the next morning (this morning). So I should know by the end of today what I will have to do in regards to the car. I really hope it is enough damage to warrant a payoff and I can find a small truck. I miss my truck alot, I have no way of hauling furniture and such. Then I can start planning a trip to S.D. so I can bring my stuff home and put some closure on that chapter of my life. All that is left is to get a divorce done. Oh, and I did finally get an email from Tam. I won't go into the details. It is just time to put that part of my life behind me and move forward. I have Jess to think about now and that is where my focus is. Speaking of Jess, she is going on a retreat this weekend with her church so I will be having the weekend all to myself. Even though this is my weekend off I am going in so I can catch up on alot of work. We had quite an incident last week; one person was fired and 3 were suspended so I have been covering for some of them and covering for others that are covering for the rest of them. Of course all of this depends on if I have to spend the weekend tearing the car apart and rebuilding the front end so I can have something to drive. My fear is that they will total it but for much less than what I can replace it for. It is not worth a whole lot but it has proven to be reliable and even comfortable on the freeway. Well, time to go to work now.

This one's pretty good too....

Update...

Just a quick update to the car situation. If you have ever worked out at the gym after being away for awhile you know the kind of stiffness and pain I had yesterday. Nothing major, but some neck and back soreness and stiffness. I finally got a rental vehicle, a Colorado. It is a mid-size 4-door truck from GMC or Chevrolet (same thing to me). It is ok, I mean compared to my car it is very nice but I wouldn't buy one. Wednesday the adjuster is coming out to look at my car. They just coudn't get it straight. First I was to go to the claims office next Monday, then it was this Friday and finally it was set up for tomorrow. I don't care, I just want things the way they were before that guy decided to backup without checking behind him. The damage to the car is just enough for it to be unsafe to drive because of the headlamps being busted out. I am kinda hoping it is enough that they total it and give me enough to allow me to buy another, old car. Truth be told I am hoping for enough to buy an old truck. Then I will spend the next six months refurbishing it enough so that I can go to South Dakota and get my belongings. I don't want to jump ahead of myself but the other day I was praying to God to help me get my things. Again, I am not get ahead of myself but The Lord works in mysterious and unknown ways. We will find out tomorrow just what will happen. All I know is before I was hit my car was worth maybe $800 and therefore I just don't know if they will feel it is worth sending to a body shop to be fixed. I may have to repair it myself but since there is bent metal I don't see how I can do that. I want a vehicle, not the money. Ok, have to go to work now, will update later. Also, my mistake at work that has kept me worried, I have completed that and hopefully nothing major will come of it. All the documents have been processed and sent off so who knows? Maybe things will come together after all.
