ivyskeepIt was absolutely gorgeous Michigan weather today where we're located. It was a relief after the mini heat wave we've had. We've managed to keep the dog from getting another surgery since January.
That's the good news.
The bad news is we're down a vehicle (and we only have one in the household) because some fool didn't attach his trailer hitch properly to his truck. It came off while he was in front of hub's car at about 35-40 mph. Hub couldn't move out of the way quick enough and it took out the transmission. Thankfully, he wasn't hurt. Not so thankfully, AAA considers it a total loss and won't cover the repair but will give us the value to put toward a new car (don't ask me how that works). Michigan is a no-fault state, so it's pointless to sue the other driver. AAA even said they can't go after his insurance. At least he got a citation and our insurance is being reasonable. We were just hoping to get a couple more years of no car payments as it's been paid off for about 2-3 years. So money will be tight again.
Sigh. I'm grateful for hub's dash cam, so he could show the police exactly what happened and grateful that he's safe.
I'm on a new med that I think needs to be adjusted. I'll contact my doc soon to see what can be done.
We're coming up on summer solstice soon. I hope you've enjoyed the spring. I might actually get some tomatoes this year.
