Getting my rental car in a few hours so yay. Just waiting for AAA to come tow my car to the autobody.

I wish I was this productive right off the bat every day haha.

Not pleased about burning PTO but it did take the stress off of trying to juggle so many things at once.

I'm praying the axel isn't damaged. I did look to see what the dealership had for inventory in case I do need a new car. Now comes the conundrum of making sure a new car is fully paid for since my car is paid off.

@BMC how does that work if they total a 3 year old car with less than 10K miles on it?
You found who hit you...right?

Good luck. That sucks. It is always so expensive to fix cars.

Don't feel bad. In my family I'm known as "the plant killer". If you don't want a plant anymore just give it to me and I will see to it that it dies somehow. Hell I even managed to kill a Japanese bonsai plant :biglaugh:
I am much better with cats than plants.

A seascape that I painted yesterday. If you look closely you can see some plants that @Mione134 killed.

So I'm trying to learn Quickbooks and so far I hate it. Not user friendly at all IMO. Maybe it's just because I don't speak "accountant."

Blergh.

I don’t know if they did or not. They seemed hopeful so fingers crossed. The police have at least one charge of vandalism ready in case they do find the person.

Complex has been fantastic through this whole thing this far. Hoping to talk to them in the next few weeks on how to make this stretch of road safer. I think a one way makes sense here.

Car is fixable and the adjuster said it is relatively easy to fix. I don’t know what exactly was damaged but I’m sure the paint alone is going to be a small fortune since my car has a pearl finish.

Got a Rav 4 as a rental so at least it is somewhat similar to mine.

The process is so tedious and draining.

I did get an A on my big paper for class so I am in great shape for the second half of this semester. 9 pages of position arguments and 18 pages of research analysis. 27 pages total.

Wednesday at 1 pm a company called Relativity is planning on launching a rocket which is 85% 3D printed. Since this is a test flight and doesn't carry a payload, the name of the mission is "Good luck, have fun"

Japan launched a rocket tonight and had to send the self destruct command after the 2nd stage failed to light.

$3,500 worth of damage. I haven’t seen the adjuster’s report yet. Will be curious to see if they replace my door since AAA had to use a crowbar to get it open.

This is the second time the new rocket has failed but that is why they test. 🚀

The first time it never got off the ground allowing this 2nd attempt.
Although it was considered a test, it did have a satellite payload, which was lost. So they obviously expected a better outcome.
