As if I needed one of those. Some lady ran a stop sign at a T-intersection where I had the right of way because she couldn't see beyond a tractor trailer in the right lane when I was in the left, and I slammed into her. I'm okay, I think, but now that the adrenaline is wearing off my shoulder seems kinda sore.
But my car is not okay. The entire front bumper came off, the driver's side headlight is destroyed, and some big piece of metal is all bent around my driver's side front tire. I am very shaken up right now.
Why am I blogging, you ask? Because I walked home from the scene, made all the phone calls I needed to make, everyone is working so I can't talk to anyone and I can't work either.
And why is it that as soon as you pay off a car, everyone starts hitting it? My car had never been in an accident while I was paying on it for 5 years. I paid it off last year and it's been hit 4 times since then, NEVER my fault! WTF?!
And of course my husband isn't here. If he was, he would leave work and come home to be with me and help me sort all of this shit out, but I can't even get him on the phone until 6.
***Update*** - should I not work out today? I ask because my shoulder is definitely sore and I know I'm going to hurt tomorrow, so should I just avoid exercise until I see how bad this is going to feel in the morning? Or might it be good for me.....?

Ugh. Glad you are OK. Hope your insurance company takes care of everything as smoothly as possible and that you have you have a good weekend to make up for your crap week.
I'm SO glad to hear you're ok. I hate it when shit like this happens to people who just don't deserve it.
what a shitty week :(
take it easy tonight and see how you feel in the morning. talk to your husband, sort things out in your head, relax as much as you can.
hope the insurance isn't too much of a pain in the ass to deal with.
Oh, shit! Thank fucking god you're ok!
I agree that you should take a day or two off from working out. Sometimes muscle strains or aches don't manifest themselves for a day or two after an accident like that.
I'm so sorry your week is just getting worse. I'm glad you're generally okay.
Do not work out, please. Do not be a hero of any sort. If something hurts, treat it as though it's injured, even if it might just be tense.
To answer your question about working out - definitely not. Even though you might feel fine with a few aches and pains, your body has undergone a stress that you need to recover from. Take a couple of days off and make sure you seek medical advice if things aren't back to normal in a day or so.
Thank goodness you're ok. Do stretches, but don't lift weights or anything for the next few days.
Holy shit! I'm glad you're okay!! Take it easy.
I am so sorry to hear about this, but so glad you're okay!!
I hope you've been able to relax and that things work out with the insurance company and what not.
oh sweetie, i'm so sorry. man, i'm glad you're not hurt. and no, don't work out.
hopefully your karma is building and you'll have an AMAZING rest of the year. I'm rooting for you.
I'm glad that you're OK.
Jesus, what a week. So glad to hear that you're okay despite the accident. Hope your shoulder is feeling a bit better today and that you don't have too much trouble sorting out the car nonsense.
Holy crap, that puts my semi-crap week to shame...
