What a wreck.... literally

Okay, forgive me.... I haven't blogged in a long time. I know.
So here are the latest updates....
March brough alot of working hours due to the absence of school. I worked about 55+ hours a week for a few weeks trying to rake in the dough so that when school started I would have a little extra money to have fun with.
I signed up for 4 classes and was on the waiting list for them all. Guess what? I didn't get into any of them! So I did the alternative and took a few online classes that I would need later down the road.
In early April I learned that one of my good friends would be moving back to her home state kentucky while her husband is on tour for the military. Bummer. She will be taking with her my "niece" ( I have been dubbed aunt Cassie because she has no siblings), bummer again.
In mid April I was told of another friend moving to Othello and she will be taking with her her husband and my 3 little run around buddies I so thouroughly enjoy!
On Easter I was heading home taking I-5 south and merging onto I-90 east (yes that awful onramp that SO MANY accidents happen on) and some idiot cut me off almost hitting me. I sammed on my brakes to avoid getting hit and I started to spin out of control. It really didn't help that it was raining out and so I proceeded to spin twice and then hit the north side barrier with my car. Lucky me my seatbelt didn't lock and so when I hit I was almost bend into a 90 degree angle from the spinning force of my car. This ended with the top right side of my head hitting the steering wheel. As the car stopped into place I was looking at oncoming traffic. Not a good thing to see on the freeway I tell you.
Needless to say that I was hurting already with some of the neck and head problems that I already have. I got out, surveyed the damage and started the car up. I t actually worked. I got the bungee cord out from the truck and made sure that my hood would stay down on the ride home. It did. I thought that I would be okay but I ended up in the ER on that night and again the next day. The CT and MRI scans all came back okay and I ended up with a nasty case of whiplash and a forever going headache that will not go away.
As for my baby (aka my car) she is totaled. I LOVED that car. It was the perfect car for me! I will post pictures later. I now have a rental, a Chevi Impala, nice car I might add, and I am going to get a new car this weekend. It will be a new version of my old car, just now a wagon. Bummer, I really liked the wagon. Really I did. Although it could be contrued as a mom car or something an old person would drive, I really like it. The insurance company gave me a really good price for it because I kept it so good.
So by Saturday night I will have a new car in either Cobalt blue or North Carolina blue with black interior.
I guess that is the past few weeks in a nutshell. A rather disheveled nutshell, but its my nutshell.
