Happy Birthday?

How not to spend your birthday? Totaling your car. My shiny red Prius is toast. A guy pulled out right in front of me and I hit him broadside. He was at fault and was ticketed. Thing is, he was driving a borrowed car from the dealership - a 2018 BMW SUV! So while my car is totaled he'll be able to get his actual car from the dealership later today. And, because it's a Friday afternoon I'm stuck until Monday before his insurance company will give me a rental car - as they have one business day to respond.

I'm sitting here sore, knowing I'm going to hurt like hell tomorrow. I can feel my knees and shin are not happy campers. And, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for a car. I had a 2006 Prius that was paid for that only had 91,000 miles on it. It was in great shape but a car that old they'll probably give me a few thousand dollars if I'm lucky. I'll never find the same quality of car for the amount of money they're going to give me.

All I wanted was a birthday cake for my birthday. That's why I wen to the grocery store. I wanted one small thing. I didn't think it was too much to want. Now it's completely destroyed - like my car.

I am so sorry that things went so poorly on youe birthday, and so incredibly happy that you yourself aren't totaled.

Oh that sucks! I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're not hurt worse. You deserve birthday cake. Ugh.
