What a Way to End 2006
Vacation Day!! Thank the lord it was a good one. But settling down to do some writing I started thinking about the next few weeks and the preparation to be made before coming back to that place that I oh so miss.
I have about 6 weeks before I am back home and a lot of stuff to do before then. Getting in to an accident last week (I know...great way to end off the year same thing my mother said) did not help cause now I have alot of things to do concerning that too.
Yes I know....didn't mention that me and the husband was in ah lil collision but we are o.k. We were hit by...get this...A 93 YEAR OLD MAN IN A TRUCK. We had to swerve to avoid him and he still ended up hitting the back of our car and we hit the front wheel against the curb. So of course...he was at fault...I was like okay....his insurance will give us a lil something at least to make sure that the car could drive...something where!!?? These bastards...and that was not the original word that I used...called back my husband to tell him that cause the cost to fix our car is more than the car is worth...they can only offer to give us what the car is worth and they will take our car! WHAT!!?? What de hell sense that make!!?? So after several inquiries I heard that that is the custom and our only choice was to take whatever they give us and allow them to take the car as I do not think that our car in its current state will last three months until my husband has to come home at the end of March.
When ah tell yuh...that old man and his insurance company well put de nail in de coffin for me last week eh! I only now kind of cool down about it so I can tell alluh de story now but I was livid to say the least! Now we have to either rent a car for the next three months or I can oblige my co-worker who has so graciously offered me one of the cars that she and her husband have. Not sure what will happen but that was how my 2006 ended.
Now I am only trying to look forward...saying thank lord that the accident was not worse and hoping that everything moves smoothly and without incident until I land at Piarco on February 5th and the husband arrives in March. I have faith...yuh cah end the year and start it off bad right??

sorry to hear bout your accident, but at least you're ok it could have been worse by the sounds of it.
How you getting all your stuff back home?
Yeah it could have been a lot worse so for that I am thankful. I am kind of over it now just trying to look forward. We are shipping most of our stuff home by freight. Anything that not shipping going in the trash or selling.
I am sorry about the accident too but we have to praise the lord for small mercies.. at least u all are alive and kicking.
