Birthday Blues

Here it is Monday afternoon. I had planned to go shopping this afternoon, but yesterday, when I took my mom to look for shoes (found them too!), as I was pulling out of a parking lot, actually stopped and about to shift into drive so I could drive out of the aisle in the lot toward the street, a big ass SUV hit me on the driver's side back, right over the wheel. The woman in the car (she wasn't driving) tried to call it a wash, saying we were both backing out at the same time. But I wasn't moving when they hit me. They just plain weren't looking. I was there, as large as life. Their car sustained no damage, of course, only little bitty me did. They were moving, after all, and I wasn't, and their Acura was so much bigger than my car is. So here I am sitting in the house waiting for the claims adjuster to call. I may just leave. It should wait till they reach that guy and look at the car, and they have to come down here from Long Beach. What a drag! Thought I'd get it done right away, but that isn't going to happen.
No one was hurt, and I can still drive the car. It's just a huge drag.

Please take it easy! Sometimes you don't feel discomfort for a few days. Thank God you are OK.

Please take it easy! Sometimes you don't feel the effects from an accident right away. I'm glad that you are OK.

Thanks Michele, Beth. I am fine. I wasn't moving, and they weren't moving very fast, though fast enough to make a huge dent in my car.

What a terrible thing to happen on your birthday :(

Technically, it was the day before my birthday, but all the same, rotten!
