Not my kind of day

On my way downtown this morning I was changing lanes when I hit pieces of semi tire tread head on! Pieces of the tire went everywhere... to the side of the car, under the car and over the car. I'm glad I didn't hit another car too b/c it was definitely morning rush hour. I made it downtown and looked at the damage. The consensus (at least mine)... I need a new bumper and there was some leaking going on. SO.... I spent roughly six hours running around trying to get mechanics and the dealership to look at the damage to see if I should even be driving Desi (yep she's been named that for 5 years) with her being damaged and all. No work today b/c of the mishap. Well.. turns out no one can find what's leaking.. so hopefully nothing is wrong in that area. Now for a new bumper... ahhhhh! That'll cost hundreds of dollars. Geesh.. i'm for sure shopping around. Stupid tire tread, it all came so quickly!! And another not great thing... my cute Grandma Young who turned 93 on Monday fell on her hip last night and she just got out of surgery. She is a snowbird so she is in Arizona right now... I hope she gets better enough to come up to her Midvale home at least one last time. Many people say that at that age when they break something it's a hard hard recovery and the usually end up going soon after.
