Trouble

Last Thursday I was driving on Park Blvd in San Diego when someone tried to pull onto the road without being able to see. He pulled out right in front of me and smash - you can see the results to my car above. No one got hurt so that is the good news but it does get worse from there. It seems I was unaware that my car insurance lapsed as well as I do not have a CA license. My insurance is through AAA and they sent me a notice to renew my AAA card but because I did not they did not renew my insurance. Stupid I know but at least it makes sense that I would overlook renewing my AAA card instead of my insurance.

I got my insurance squared away and luckily he is at fault. Monday I will get my license taken care of but I still will have to go to court about all this. Not to mention because of the age of my car and the mileage I am sure it will be totaled. I am not really in the position to take on a car payment or put up a down payment but I will figure it out.

In addition to not being hurt at least the forced exercise by needing to ride my bike is doing me good and also this is a good wake up call that I need to get serious about my finances - especially with big changes looming on the job front. I will figure it all out. I might have to ask my brother for help which I have never done but am sure he will if he can. As well as I can just pay the carpoolers to ride with them so I will have a way to get to work.
