Why is this my life?
I'm just not happy today.
Saturday I got into a car accident. Yes, this is a bummer, everyone is fine and nobody got hurt, the damage was minimal, whatever. The big problem is the timing. My alignment is fucked and my dad doesn't want me driving it to SC that way, so I had to get up first thing today and find a place to take it to get fixed. The first place I called were booked solid for the day, so I made an appointment for tomorrow just in case, and continued on my search. I ended up just taking it to my dealership, the people there are really nice and usually very helpful, I called and they said I could bring it right in, ASAP. I took it in and the guy said it looked minor, it should be a couple hours and 170 bucks. No big deal. But wait. Then I get a call on my cell, it's the dealership to tell me that their estimate was wrong, and it would be about 300 bucks. Okay, sucky, but the insurance company will reimburse, whatever. So my sister picks me up so we can get lunch and hang out at her house, since I now have NO transportation. Then I get another call.
They are missing a part, they can't get it until tomorrow, the car should be done around lunch time AND its going to cost us 530 dollars. What the FUCK.
So not only am I out of a car for another day, it's going to cost 4 times what they said, and I can't leave here until afternoon tomorrow. This means I won't get to SC until like 8 pm. Golly, could this day get any better?
Also I talked to my insurance guy and he was really nice but he said they would have a hard time shifting the blame away from me since the other guy had right of way. They better not make me fucking pay to fix his craptastic car. And he was a dick. I don't think right-of-way matters so much when I am trying to get out of a parking space and am stopped and he plows into me. He should be beat up for the way he talked to me. (Ryan was a prince though.)
Also, today is just one of those days where I am in a bad mood, and every little thing just makes me angrier and less likely to snap out of it. I want to be happy and friendly, I am leaving tomorrow, and I want to have a nice day with my family before I go. I'm really hoping that will happen. Mostly the point of my writing this blog was to attempt a kind of catharsis...get it out and chill out, let's see if it works. I dunno.
So anyway, you guys in SC will have to expect some delay, and some crazy when I get there.
I guess I feel a little less like killing myself now, so maybe this was a good therapy, let's see how I feel in a few hours.
I love you guys, and I'll be home soon.
