Last week I was on Spring Break from school, sadly I still had to come to work. It was glorious.
But, just because the universe loves shitting on my parade, my car was hit by an "alleged" drunk driver Friday night. Matt decided to go to bed early because he had to wake up early to go to a meeting so I was just settling in to watch some tv on the couch with Emma. I heard him start screaming and really didn't think much of it. (He's known to be a little dramatic) I thought maybe his guitar fell off the bed or something but no, he came running out in his underwear, running to the front door and screaming that a driver just hit our car.
I jumped up, and ran outside too (Bra-less and shoe-less, we were quite the sight). Sure enough, there was a Camry just smushed into our car. The driver, a female, took off on foot and I called 911. She drove the wrong way up our one way street, playing ping pong off cars all the way up and eventually landed on mine. She did leave her purse which had her license in the car as well as the car registration. Miraculously, I was cool as a cucumber during this incident. I think minor annoyances in the workplace set me off more.
The person who was driving was driving a company vehicle with livery plates so we assumed they had insurance, they do, so when all is said and done, we won't have to pay anything and we get to drive around a rental for awhile. That was part of my weekend but I was determined not to let it ruin it.
This is the damage. Not too bad but considering about 4 dents were over $1400 to fix, I'm sure this will reach maybe $5000. She took the wheel off too, not sure if they'll be able to put it back on or how that works.
Saturday, Emma and I played at the park for a bit and then both took like 6 hour naps. Emma was not invited back to daycare due to an incident which I believe is bullshit so, that's also another thing we've had on our plate, a crazy energetic dog. But she did great on Saturday and Sunday.
Yesterday Matt and I went and saw the Hunger Games with some friends of mine. He didn't read the books, I devoured them and I loved the movie. We went out to lunch, came home, I took another nap and then we settled in to watch Mad Men. It was a pretty great weekend.
