Accident

I got into a tiny accident on my way home. The bumped was so light I
barely noticed it until my neck started hurting. I just turned after a
long wait to turn in rush hour traffic when a car in the other lane
starting pull out in front of me at a red light and I suddenly halted
to a complete stop to avoid smashing into the driver's door. I stopped
so suddenly I thought the thump I heard was the brakes, then my
sunglasses flew off my face. I'm sure someone hit me from behind. I
looked around for a place to pull over while sitting at the red light,
but of course I can't move without hitting a car in any direction. The
light turns green and I inch forward, as rush hour forces you to do, to
look at my rear view mirror. I see a brand new silver car with no
license plate with their turning blinker on. No paint or dent on their
car so I figured I probably just paint damage. I drive on. The new
silver car with dealership paper tags changes lanes, and I stop again at
the red light to observe their bumper, it is right beside me. No damage
or paint from my car. I continue to inch forward and lose sight of the
car. Now gaining the entrance to the freeway, my necks hurts really
bad.

Half way home on the freeway I start crying from the pain and it finally
subsides to a headache. 45 minutes later when I make it home to observe
the damage. My bumper is plastic not metal, sorry I didn't know that. In
addition to the paint scrapes I was expecting, the center of my rear
bumper is sticking up like a bubble. The outer edges of the bumper have
1 inch cracks causing it to lift a little. The trunk works fine so I'm
not going to worry about it or get it fixed. Though I will get my neck
adjusted, the pain comes and goes now. I know I'm the perfect victim. My parents
trained me very well to be so. Post later. Bye!

It's called Rubbish

Had a maid stop by asking if I need service. Got water bottles and towels. Then said she could take the garbage. Then remembered they say rubbish here and I think she is not Australian to understand what I meant. Rephrased to say she can take the rubbish. Swam in the indoor pool for a while. Water was lukewarm.

Looking for the Cat

Both dogs and Goldie came inside from the yard. Saw Rosie come inside, but I was unsure if she went back out into the yard or still inside. Searched all over and finally found her in the tree outside. Waited and eventually she came to the door squeaking like a mouse. All babies inside now.

New phone

As if I was not spending enough money, I have to buy I new cell phone. I unfortunently got the fabulous Sidekick phone because at the time of purchase I did not have internet access. It cost a lot of money, sure good things do, but I expected it to last a whie at that price. Of course, I lost the 1st phone last year and had to buy a new one which cost more than what I originally paid for it (I never did find it). So, a year goes by to have the battery go kaput and can't hold any level of power leaving me to recharge it constantly. Also, this battery is sealed in the phone so I can not just go out of buy a new one. At the end of my rope, I complain in an email from my computer. Since the warranty expired, I have to buy a new one. Well, I told the operator, if I have to buy a new phone every year then I want the cheapest one you got. He agreed with my logic. Then, changing phones causes me to lose the unlimited Sidekick internet access. Losing the internet access also caused the eras...
