Totalled
I was already having a bad day when when I woke up from my nap two hours late. The alarm was blaring away, probably had been for the last two hours, and I am realizing that I’m supposed to have been at my doctor’s appointment ten minutes ago. Not only is this a stupid thing, but I had asked a friend to come pick me up and give me a ride over… so I’d wasted his time too.
Joy.
I’d decided to just throw the rest of the day away and go back to bed when Jade called me to let me know that the car was totalled. This felt like a good time to gulp. So I did so, quietly.
Thankfully, she is sore and banged up and nothing worse. Yes, I “made” her go to the hospital to get checked out. And I am jealous now, cuz she got to experience airbags.
I’ve now made my first call into the insurance call to file a claim. Tomorrow I get to go clean out my personal belongings and pick up a rental car and hope hope hope that I did get that extra insurance on the car that covers all of the debt if it gets totalled.
I’m completely freaked out and oddly calm about all of this. I want my car back, but I realize that isn’t a likely possibility. I guess I’ll be shopping for another car now. Any recommendations on small, fuel efficient car? I’m thinking that a brand new SmartCar would be totally rad, but Jade doesn’t think a two seater will cut it for a family of three. Maybe a used Pruis, like a 2003, would be good for us? I really loved the way that the Dodge Caliber looked, but that one only lasted a single season. Maybe this is going to be the time to get two motorbikes!
