Last night, I wrote myself a list of things that needed doing on Monday. That helped me remember and I actually had time for all of it!
Kitchen cleaned, wrapped Mum's birthday present for Wednesday, picked up library holds, and now we also have a screen up at the sliding door in the back. (Since the professionally installed screen door ended up being junk, I asked for it to be removed and I got one of the magnet kinds to stick up. Hopefully it will be less disappointing!)
Will soon bake some muffins and decide whether to read or play around on the computer!
Yesterday we got rid of all the rubbish left from putting in the new fence and cleaned up a bit.. Today we have had a lovely walk at the national park Alde Feanen and Im going to bath the dog, clean the interior of the car (Im taking my friend to a hospital appointment tomorrow) then later on I will bake bread.

I've done a LOT of cleaning today. I won't list it but it took about two hours. I do like a show apartment. But I will mention that I sorted my bedroom top drawer: it needed a good sorting out.
Shopping this morning, and got some real bargains.
This afternoon I painted the wheelbarrow. I use whatever paint I have around the house spare. The barrow is now a very bright, light green enamel.
I then used the leftover paint on the brush to paint up a few rusty tools. They were perfectly good tools, but I always think if they look nice then you are more inclined to use them..

My dad drove me work. I got a lot done and was kept busy.
After work I bought groceries and went home, where I put on a quick load of laundry and aired out my apartment. I am now online and also listening to the radio.
My friend's brother in law passed away he was 92. I was at his 90th birthday party...
I knew my friend dearly wanted to be at the funeral so Ive spoken to OH and he will be ok alone for a couple ofdays.
I let her know this afternoon that we can go. Lots to arrange but she was so happy to be able to phone her niece and tell her tatte is coming. Its a 400km drive. We leave Monday..
I got into a car accident today on the way back from work. My car was totaled. As soon as the police opened the door for me to get out, I walked across the street to make sure the other person was okay. I was super grateful that she told me she was fine. Her car was dented and the fender bender had a slight crack, she had tears running down her face. I apologized to her and admitted that it was completely my fault. The police officer told me that I did not have to do that but I told him it was truly my fault and I wanted her to know her problem would be taken care of. The women was on her way to work at her nightshift, I called my agent and put him on the speaker phone in front of her, I told the agent to please take care of her car repair, car rental, any medica; attention and if it goes over the limit, I will pick up the bill. My husband came to get me at the scene and we went to dinner, but I still could not forget her teary face. I did not know why she cried; I asked her if she was mad at me but she said only at the beginning. I offered to take her home, but the police told me he could do that.
My husband will go get me another car tomorrow since I will have a meeting until 2pm. He showed me what he had in mind but, even though I only had a big mark on my neck due to the airbag and seat belt, my throat feels very tight, and half of my jaws hurts right now. I also feel a little lightheaded. I hope this will not be any complications. Have to call that woman tomorrow to make sure she is okay.

You certainly treated her in a responsible way. I am glad you are both ok.
I was in a crash in 2003, and I still remember a lot of it in great detail. I just got a sore neck, but the car was a complete write off. It was a kid and he just shot out from the side of the road straight in front of me. He tried to blame me, but there were three witnesses.
I was still in slight shock the following morning when I went for a job interview. It didn't go well.

Oh no! I'm glad you are Ok. I hope there are no lasting complications.
These things happen and usually we don't see them coming; just wonder what happened. I have not totalled anything, luckily, but have had minor accidents. It was good that you were able to handle the situation. In my experience that helps greatly with the resultant need to recover from the trauma.
Yesterday I was with some of our art group members for a mid day meal. It was our eldest member's 92nd birthday so we met up with him and his wife at a restaurant they visit to celebrate. We had a lovely meal and carried on into the afternoon at their local pub. A great time was had by all
I am seriously feeling the impact now, sore every where, I can't sleep but I should not take sleeping pill.
I still can't forget her teary face. She was a grown woman at 46, I don't know what went through her mind.
That sounds fairly normal, and was simply a symptom of shock imo.
Your adrenaline carried you through initially, Annie, now that has worn off, the aches are kicking in. I was the same.
I expect you are being kept awake by the 'what if's' of the crash, and it is running through your mind.
It's done. Finished. All that is left now is the inconvenience, and the paperwork. Just reflect that you are both fit and well.
I agree. It's the shock.
It seems hard but I found the best way to go is to sort all the paperwork and let things take their course. Try to keep emotion out of things. The 'what if's' really are a worry but they are not anything under control so concentrate on the 'sort it' for the things you can do. There will be all manner of worries that will go through your mind over the next few days. The more organised you are the less you may worry about, but don't push yourself too hard.

I hope you are ok. OMG if only all drivers were as responsible as you the world would be a much better place
When my car was totalled in a crash 100% the other guys fault. I was left with no car and not even an apology. Accidents happen but the trend to accept no blame and offer no apology is shameful. You have acted in a really decent and caring manner..xxx hugs

Yes, the kid that hit me asked me if I was drunk...
Of course a word of caution.alsr, I really hope the woman you hit is as honest as you. OH once had a bump with a motorcycle that hit his van. Although the bike had come out of an alley OH said he would accept the damage. It was a scuff and a footpeg but when he got the estimate from the garage there were brakes, tyres, a tank respray and all sorts of other things, OH went to the garage and spoke to the owner who told him the young man had come in and asked for a total refurb of the bike. They had no idea this was supposed to be a quote for an accident.
OH contacted the motorbike rider and told him if he still wanted to claim he would have to go to court,which he didnt his greed meant he got nothing.

I am glad you are okay Annie and what you did shows such character and compassion. You are an amazing person.

Thanks Karen, I am just so haunted by the sadness I saw in her. I could not figure out why she was so sad.

Thanks Cassie, I was hit by another car about 22 years ago, my ex got me that car brand new only 2 days before that, I was so upset but I knew no one wanted an accident so I did not show my anger when we exchanged information. That woman who hit me also called me a few times to make sure I was okay.
I was very touched yesterday when bystanding people actually got out of their car to ask if I was okay and if they could get me anything when they saw me standing by the sidewalk waiting for the police to do paperwork, it completely renews my faith in human kindness.
