Yes, still confused but I'm home, which was my main goal from yesterday. I know this, I have to see if I can trade the Silverado in for at least A CAR....I'm terrified to take it into parking lots etc. There are big "blind" spots etc. Its probably a nice truck for someone who wants a truck.......see, I'm not really into that category. So..I'm going to call the insurance company today and see if I can get just a car please or.....a little truck. Lets face it, I'm not going to be moving appliances etc..I'm just going to be buying groceries..
Maxi and I both slept like logs, I do believe if I hadn't dropped something on the floor this morning he'd still be asleep under the covers. If I hadn't had to use the b'room I'd still be there...
Ok, so here we go. I was thinking yesterday how awful things were. Brand new car. Really damaged. The guy at the dealership said damages to bumper (underneath) , radiator, a/c and something else. He said what ever hit it was very very sharp. We're waiting for the adjuster to let us know how much this is going to be. Surely to goodness its not totaled , right? I have no idea so patience will have to be a virtue whether I like it or not.
BUT...At least I was about 40 miles from Zoots house. I could have been forever away from anything so being able to call her and spend another night with this wonderful family was so great. And having AAA Plus was a major plus. That tow back to Huntsville didn't cost me a dime!!!! So that was good.
I suppose I could have been in a dreadful accident that hurt me and Maxi.We're both just fine.....so that's good
And. Having loaner insurance is also very very good. I'm covered 30.00 up to 900.00 dollars. This would have been rather expensive considering I was in Huntsville" and I had to get home.
I'm trying to remember all of the good things every time I want to cry. It's helping.
The best thing is....My daughter being there. I know I'm her Mom and the last thing I want to do is be a "pia" or a burden but she was so wonderful. She made sure that if I needed anything she could take care of she did. By the way, she thinks that big ol truck is a hoot!!! She suggested that if I was thinking about buying anything "large" this would be a fine time to do it......I can hardly reach into the cargo area and I have to pull up on the steering wheel to get into it.........I'm sure its a rather humorous "site to see"......
So, I'm tossing the self pity pot out of the window, replacing it with how wonderful my daughter and son are (he called last night and we talked until the phone passed out) and how nice it is to know they're there if I need them and how very much I love them both..
Have a wonderful day folks......I'll keep you posted
Glad you and Maxi are safe. That's what's most important. Keep us posted as to what they say about the car. Do they think you hit something?
