Saturday morning before things went a bit wrong, was wonderful. My secret stretch goal, hiking at the Preserve, local small wilderness area, I achieved.
I thought it would never happen, so long since I could do it. And I did, including tricky outdoor surfaces.
After this lovely morning I got home and right outside my house, as I was parking, was distracted by kids fooling around me on bikes, hit the wrong pedal, jumped the kerb and hit the wall of my kitchen.
Result was damage to wall and car and I'm deep in arrangements with contractors, HOA, insurance, neighbors being helpful. But I'm too distraught to answer any questions in here. Just filling you in.
That's it for now.
Back when I can.
Well crap. On the upside, nobody got hurt.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad no one was hurt, neither careless kids nor distracted Liz! I hope your insurance adjustor is as helpful as mine was, when my neighbor's tree fell on my barn last April.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! That really sucks! And after such a beautiful morning. So sorry that happened. Sounds like those kids are lucky you didn't run them over by accident! So glad you didn't get hurt! What a shocking ordeal. You'll be busy dealing with all the red tape for a while. Know we are thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteThat’s the pits. But I’m glad you’re physically OK. You’re in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad the morning was nice, at least. Hope all the repairs get sorted without too much drama. I'm sure this is not a fun time. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteAccidents are always distressing. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAs long as you are unhurt things will eventually work out but damn, I I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.
ReplyDelete(hugs).
ReplyDeleteThose seconds that you wish you could rewind and change! Frustrating! But I'm so glad no one was hurt. Things can be fixed.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Many hugs to you as you navigate this situation...
ReplyDeleteditto what everyone's saying, but just know you're also in my thoughts as things get settled back down. no fun!!
ReplyDeleteOh bugger. Good luck with the physical repairs - and the mental and physical repairs because that would shake you up.
ReplyDeleteThings can be mended.. thankfully you and kids are ok xx
ReplyDeleteGlad you weren’t hurt! Take care, Boud.
ReplyDeleteVery traumatic. Be gentle with yourself.
ReplyDeleteOoh. Well, you have at least memories of the first part of the day to cherish. Hope everything can be put back in shape with a minimum of money and time.
ReplyDeleteAccidents happen but they do then complicate your life having to deal with all the red tape. I’m glad your neighbours are being helpful.
ReplyDeleteThat lovely walk might help with the emotions. I, who isn’t a trained professional at all, prescribe lots of walks in the fresh air, followed by some crafting.
Well, the remainder o the day positively sucked, but as all (including you) said - no one was hurt (though someone was perhaps shook up) - and YOU MADE IT TO THE PRESERVE! Huge congratulations!

Can happen to anyone - even a shoe sole slip on a pedal at a crucial moment. As you say no one hurt. Don't let it dent the confidence you are regaining in your mobility.
ReplyDeleteTake time to recover from such an unpleasant event. These things happen.
ReplyDeleteIt started out as such a wonderful day. Things like this are so upsetting but they happen. Breathe deeply. And be grateful for insurance. You and the kids are fine and that's what matters most. But I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we end up having to take the good with the bad - and at least no one was hurt. Things can be fixed.
ReplyDeleteNot a perfect ending to an otherwise perfect day. The wall and the car can be fixed. It's a relief you were not injured.
ReplyDeleteHugs. I am sorry. But as Sandra noted, it can be sorted.
