Okay. Some of you know that my husband and I haven't been doing too well for the last month or so. We're working on things, but we still have a lot of healing left to do (no, he didn't cheat on me). So that's an ongoing thing in my life.
You may have also read that this weekend, I developed a really nasty UTI/bladder infection. I'm also in the process of getting over it, but I am still feeling the affects of it.
This morning, I got into an accident. My fault. I was on the beltway and there was stop-and-go traffic and I didn't stop fast enough and plowed into her trunk. The hood's crumpled some, but the serious thing I noticed was that it was leaking - readily - from two different places. Even so, I thought it was driveable and made it to work when my husband called me and said that rather than risking things and working all day and trying to come home, he thought that I should come home immediately and get it to a repair shop now... so I left. I made it about 8 miles and smoke began to pour from my engine, so I pulled over. I thought I had Triple A since my card says it expires 5/1/05 but no... they send out new cards in good faith that you'll renew your membership and since that had been something my parents provided for me... I didn't renew it and neither did they. So I had to call my husband and wait about 80 minutes for him to show up with coolant so that we could drop it off at a repair shop. We got about 2 miles down the road when my engine began smoking again so I pulled back over. My husband said there was no way it was driveable and we called a tow truck on HIS Triple A card. The tow truck came 90 minutes later and we had it towed to a place near our home. Meanwhile, the girl I hit wants to get the ball rolling (she drove a 2005 Pontiac GT... I felt horrible) so in addition to worrying about fixing my own car, I also have to worry about fixing hers.
*SIGH*
Someone upstairs has been having a blast with me for the last month... I hope they're getting a laugh! I keep telling myself that God never gives you more than you can handle but with all the happenings of the last month, I really don't think I can take much more before I break.
Sorry to whine... I've just been having a really tough time of it lately and I'm at my wit's end.
