Just when you thought it couldn't get worse

I received a summons today as I was heading out to run an errand. I was in what I thought was a minor fender bender a few years ago. Two of my sisters and I were driving home from our nieces' wedding in Canada. We were at a stop sign and the car in front of me started to turn out onto the other road, but I guess she changed her mind because she stopped suddenly. More suddenly than I did. Everyone seemed ok. We exchanged information. Called the police to file a report and then we all drove home.

Well, she's decided that that was her lucky day and is suing us. The insurance companies are handling it right now, but we've already dealt with the incredibly painful passing of our mother. I'm trying to scatter her ashes. My dog is very ill. And now this.

As far as I'm concerned, Ms. Groomes is racking up some seriously bad karma. And if she EVER complains about how much insurance costs, she can just stand in front of a mirror and to see one of the reasons why.

In the mean time, I have to find a way to keep putting one foot in front of the other and get through the next few days. It just got harder to do. :-(
