Day 17, 2015 Fender Bender

 How come when you tell others that it is just an accident and that is what insurance is for,  you mean it, but when you did the accident  you can't just say that to yourself? 

Just a fender bender.  I backed out with Firemans NEW truck into a parked truck on the street.  Minimal damage.  The truck driver wasn't even in the truck at the time. No one hurt. 

Ouch. 

I start shaking like a silly leaf when these things occur. 

I know that the most important thing is that no one even got hurt one little bit, but I go all goofy.  

My dear new best friend, well second best, my American Family Insurance claims rep. BEN, kept telling me, 

"You're doing fine, You're doing great"

as I kept saying, "wait let me think I'm shaking." 

My other new bestie is the sweet policeman who did NOT issue me a ticket.  He couldn't have been nicer. 

Fireman was a doll about it all. 

I was almost too exhausted to knit last night.

But I put the needles in my hands and finished the back of the toddler vest I'm knitting. 

And...I love it. 

I think I traveled exclusively by foot and canoe in my past life.

They are my favorite means of transportation.
