We had just gotten back from our day-off errands. We were snacking when we heard the crunch in the front. Cars often get swiped on our Street, so we went out to see who's it was. And it was Peter's 8-month old car (well, it's a '95, but it's only 8-months old to us)! The girl wasn't even going too fast, but moved the Civic 20 ft. down the road, with the E-Brake on and it's a gonner. Her car too. She was decently nice, has good insurance, and it will be fine. We've got the rental that day and hope to hear what the amount we get it. We were surprised how un-angry we were. Although we think it was a hate crime, notice she only hit the Canadian side of the car? Not the US side. And on Victoria Day!
Then, 18 hours later, I'm walking laundry out and while holding the laundry basket, my hand swipes the broken breaker box that is always cutting everyone. I drop the laundry and look at my hand to see the cut. A second later I'm panicking on my hands and knees looking for the diamond that got ripped out! So sad! We have insurance to protect this also, so again, it's ok. Just inconvenient. And I'll be ring-less for a couple weeks. Sad.

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS!! Have you noticed that? It's never just one big thing.. it's several! Glad you still have your diamond.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is my worst nightmare to lose my diamond. Good thing you have insurance. I better make sure we do to. Hope you guys are doing well.
ReplyDeletewow, what a rough week I am so sorry! I laughed hard at the hate crime... I totally agree dang Candaian haters. Tell Peter I totally support him as a Canadian!
ReplyDeleteRing pops make a good stand-in until your ring comes back, if you need one. And I suppose with all this political hulla-balloo about immigration, Canadians are facing some rough days ahead. Don't give in, though, Peter; never hide your Canadian-ness!
ReplyDeleteoh geez...you've had better days! my diamond fell out of my ring once too...we ended up finding it. the guy who made the ring felt bad and fixed asap, no charge.
