I wrecked my car. I'm ok, nobody was hurt, but my car... Most likely the insurance company will consider it a total loss. I can't really afford a new car.

After all of this I've decided that I need to find a better paying job now. Maybe if I can find one that gives me health insurance right away, and pays at least 30k, I'll be able to afford a car loan somewhere down the line.

I am going to miss my car terribly. Annie, my car. I will have to either take the bus to work or get a lift from one of my co-workers who lives nearby and graciously offered to take me.

This may ruin my plans to visit Bergen in June... maybe. Honestly, right now my main concern is to get everything calmed down and settled after the accident. I am still quite unsettled. Sad, mostly.

There was ice on the windshield this morning, I scraped it, but it got iced up again. I actually had to pull over and scrape it off again. But once more it iced over, and there was a red light ahead, and the sun was also shining brightly around that turn, and I didn't see the stopped car ahead of me in time.

I got a ticket for not slowing down to avoid collision. I could go to court and explain that I just couldn't see, but of course what I really should have done would have been to wait for the car to defrost. That's in the past, though, so I can't let myself dwell on that too much.

Anyway, I am safe, a little sore in places (the airbag went off and I think the inside of my lip got a bit smooshed, and I may have hit the tip of my thumb because it's sore too) but otherwise fine. Just feeling pretty sad.

Although it is hard to feel positive right now, I am stating to feel a little hope. I know I can get through this situation in time. These things happen. It will be a real pain not to have a car, but I'll have to do what I have to do. I'll be looking for a new job (a higher caliber job) so I'll have to figure out how to get to interviews. But I'll figure something out.

I am really going to miss my car. I wish it didn't have to end this way. That thing could have run for another five years probably. Maybe more. But now it's wrecked.

P.S. I am going to announce my secret project now, but I will also again tomorrow. Here Join if you want. You are all welcome. It is not strictly an Annie forum, there are sections for general talk, or talk about other music you like. Ideally as more people join, more sections will be added for more specific interests, like pets, art, whatever. Have fun.
