Thankful after car accident

Poor old, low mileage faithful!

Wednesday was not my best day ever as you can also tell by Friday post put up on Wednesday!

I was headed to Pilates Wednesday morning and went to make a left turn at a rather blind corner and collided with a car coming down that street. I don't usually go that way but there was road construction on my usual route. We will certainly avoid that intersection from now on.

Thankful - 

- Neither of us was hurt and there were no passengers in either car.

- The other driver was calm.

- The police came in just a few minutes after I called which is an advantage of living in a small city, made sure we were ok, and clearly walked us through exchanging info and taking photos.

- We both were able to get our cars out of the busier street.

- He was able to drive away when the police were finished.

- Hubby didn't answer his phone so I called my son who was literally in his car close by, he reached Hubby & picked him up, and they came to help deal with our car. 

- I was only 1 1/2 blocks from home and we were able to drive our damaged car and park it at our house to be dealt with later. It is not worth fixing given the damage and age.

- Our son took hubby to a nearby Enterprise car rental and we now have a car to use as we are a single car family. So grocery shopping happened as usual!

- Our insurance agent is so calm, clear and helpful. He assured me I had now done everything I was supposed to do and made sure we had good coverage on the rental car.

- Woke up with no new aches or pains. I was driving very slowly thankfully.

- I'm the only one making myself feel bad about the situation! My loved one's just kept saying "I'm glad you weren't hurt" and checking on me.

I've been thinking we should get a new car, but this wasn't the strategy or timing I was going for!  I had hoped to keep the old car as a second car so neither of us was ever stranded. I am very thankful we have the money to buy a new car once we decide on one though.
