I've prided myself on never being in a major accident (minus one tiny tiny fender bender) that was until last week. I been super stressed with work and down right exhausted and mentally, emotionally, and physically worn down. I almost called in not wanting to drag my sorry behind to work but told myself I had to. Without a lot of details or specifics, got into an accident and my car was totaled. Would be something like $8100 to fix so my insurance just said no we'll total it which if anyone has seen pictures it's amazing with the damage done I wasn't hurt seriously. Granted my left shoulder and back and left knee and under my chin are all still sore a week out, but hey I'll take that over broken bones. My Yaris did what it was supposed to do. It kept me safe during an accident which is all I could have ever hoped for. I'm already back at work on restricted duty because doctor doesn't want me lifting with a sore shoulder and after two days back of even minor things I know why she was so concerned, but work has been the distraction I need. When depression and anxiety are normal issues that I have adding this on top to a stressful time has not helped.

I will car payments again and the Yaris was paid off in May 2014 which just makes me sad because it was nice not having that bill. So MFF I will have a new car and need to decorate it. Right now I'm just grateful to God, karma, and whatever other positive force is out there that I wasn't seriously hurt. A car is a car in the end. A thing that can be replaced where a life cannot.
