Day 528 - Friday 12th December.
All clouds have a silver lining. If I keep saying it, I'll start to believe it ;o)
My car looks as though it's going to be written off as the cost of the structural damage outweighed the cost of the car, so fixing it would be in our favour, but not our insurance company's.
It's just a car. Really, a piece of metal with wheels, but you would have thought they were telling me Christmas was cancelled forever. I almost cried.
We had plans to sell Jason's car, not mine so it's been a decision made for us and quite frankly I don't like decisions being made for me!
We had to go to the tow-yard today to clean out our personal items and again I had to fight back the tears. Not only did my car look out of place, there were many, many wrecked cars that had been in serious accidents. It was awful to know that perhaps not all the people in those cars survived. Kind of hit home just how freakin' lucky we all were yesterday.
Today we went shopping for a new car. It's much cheaper to buy up here and we found the deal of the century!
We've converted from Japanese to European and from manual to automatic but it's beautiful and safe! I'm sure Kyah would approve :o)
Tomorrow we drive home and I'm really looking forward to it. I miss Kaleb so much and dislike being away from either of them for long periods.
