20-DEC-21 Molasses Monday

I am very, very slowly waking up and getting ready for work.  I really want to go back to bed.  I had a stressful day yesterday and I 'don't wanna" do anything today except read in bed and stream movies.  BUT I as soon as I post this I'm going to hop in the shower and start my day.  I've got to return some library books for my mother on my way into work.  

So, most of my stress yesterday was getting hit by a car pulling out of a driveway on my way into work yesterday.  They were turning left onto the street I was on and not looking my way as they pulled out of the driveway. There was an SUV they were trying to see around but it still doesn't excuse them not looking the other direction before moving. I pulled over and the damage is minimal.  They continued pulling out of the driveway and then pulled over in the street.  They didn't come over to my car.  I was trying to find my insurance info and calm down before I walked over to their car.  They got out to check for damage and then drove off.  People in this state aren't the best drivers.  I've always thought that and it continues to be proven.  I'm off tomorrow and deal with the insurance then.  I did file an initial claim online before I drove away.

I'm sorry that happened to your car. That really stinks that they just drove away without meeting with you. People in this state aren't the best drivers either, and I blame it on the large number of people who have moved here over the past few years. Lots of people who have no idea how to deal with driving in the snow (although it doesn't sound as if snow was a factor in your accident). So many people have moved here over the past ten years that we are gaining a House seat.
