I know what you mean. Today I got my car back from the body shop. The only thing left for me to do is to sign a form for the insurance company saying that the car has been repaired. I decided to wait until tomorrow when I could get a look at the car in daylight to ensure that they did a great job in matching the colour. My car is apple green and so being just a bit off could look very wrong.

My accident wasn't my fault and so I didn't have to pay for anythiing except the gas I used for the rental car.

I'm very glad to have my car back intact and the rental back where it belongs. I have only ever owned cars with standard transmissions and it's a bit disconcerting for me to drive an automatic. I always feel like I'm forgetting something since there's no clutching or gear-shifting. Where I live, driving a standard is a lot safer than an automatic. You have a lot more control of the car in snowy or icy conditions.

I hope that you get through all of the paperwork swiftly and without too much trauma. What I found helped me out a lot was asking questions of an unfortunate friend who had had a number of accidents and getting referrals for body shops from my well-trusted mechanics.

I didn't experience any injuries to me. How about you? Did this cause you any damage or trigger your health issues?

By the way, tomorrow it is to feel like spring even here tomorrow. It's supposed to be up to 10 C tomorrow. So I'm hoping it will melt the last of the chunks of ice in my driveway before it drops below freezing on Sunday. Then it's supposed to be perfect maple sap weather after that (freezing at night and above freezing during the day). Oh, and in C degrees, 0 is freezing.

My thoughts are with you. Hugs, Jo. 🌱 🌷🌸🌻 🤗🤗🤗
