Happy Valentine’s Day!
Or so they all say.
Well I’m not happy today,
Or this entire past week any day!
First the snow and slush,
Turns driving skills to mush,
And I get rear-ended driving
To work to earn a living.
I got away okay,
Bumper and muffler got a little play.
But the other car suffered loads,
Airbags deployed; I think it’s totaled.
Work was understanding,
But an hour’s pay is lacking.
So I’m not a happy girl today,
No siree!
The auto guy promised the sky,
But ended up with a deny,
Saying the insurance assessment made,
Would not be enough money paid.
The shop wants over $2k,
Insurance went no way!
What am I supposed to do,
Hold the bumper in place and add glue?!
Shop around the body shops,
Where will the insurance check stop?
Finally find one that will work with insurance directly,
But unfortunately I’m penciled in for May.
To make myself feel better,
I signed my name in looping letters,
On a personal injury liability waiver;
I signed up to be an ice skater!
Finally lessons after a long time wanting,
Despite my love of figure skating!
I had my first class Saturday morning,
With boots tight and blades shining!
Class consisted of a hundred kids and me,
Plus an instructor or…twenty-three?
Here comes another adult learner,
She’s the mom of one of the hockey players.
Monday I had just enough time,
To go grocery shopping on my own dime.
I also got some more comfy Skechers leggings,
Oh and a beautiful pair of pearl earrings!
So that was my week,
For the most part rather bleak.
It went from cars boom boom,
To pearls bling bling!

The cars boom boom is a reference to an old Chinese/immigrant joke - a Chinese immigrant/non-native English speaker is on the stand to testify in a car accident. “One car come. One car go. Two car boom boom. One car leave.” My dad’s favorite joke, lol.
I know these photos aren’t the greatest; but I’m protecting my privacy by not giving better photos, especially since the car issue is still pending. Suffice to say, bumper damage near plate, so I can’t share that photo. All photos taken with my iPhone SE2.
