Done being thankful

Today, I'm just annoyed and I'm free, after a month of having to be nice, to voice it here on the blog. Here's what happened:

I took my car in to get an oil change, tire rotation and a couple of other things in anticipation of my trip to shop in Portland this weekend. As I was exiting the off-ramp, I noticed the big huge truck in the turn lane next to me was creeping into my lane so I hugged the inside line as I turned and then heard a thump. I pulled up next to the trucker at the light and said "I think you just hit me." He was talking on his phone (this is a hands-free state...oopsie) and didn't understand me at first but nicely pulled over. It was dark and foggy/drippy out but we felt all up and down the side of my car and couldn't find any damage at all. So I stupidly drove off without getting any of his info and took my car to the dealer for the maintenance stuff (thinking I must have just had a rock bounce up underneath my car.)

I picked up the car this afternoon and when I was pulling out, I noticed my back rear window was completely shattered. I got out and noticed two scratches too, one with red paint (which was the color of the stupid huge truck.) The people at the dealership nicely taped up my broken window and now I have exactly two days to try and get it fixed so I can go out of town this weekend. ANNOYING! This is not the way I wanted to start my month.

And today would have been Ida's 39th birthday. Sigh, sigh sigh. I miss Ida.
