Poor Lulu...poor me!

So at the beginning of camp I had a car accident - no one was hurt, it was the best scenario that could've been under the circumstances, but... It took me from camp, dealing with BCAA and then ICBC, trying to figure out where to have it towed, what to do with it. Working with the camp staff because of the damage there. Getting a rental car. people at camp were amazing - they had Lulu (the van) unpacked and were setting up my room, making my bed, putting up lights, putting flowers in vases for me to enjoy, without my having to even ask. There were hugs and support, and loads of compliments for my calmness under the circumstances.

Now however, I have one hell of a headache to deal with. It was only towed to Coquitlam, which I thought would be okay, but no one is taking ownership - it needs to go to Toyota to get the brakes looked at, it needs bodywork, and there was previous cosmetic damage I'd left alone that complicates the work that now needs to be done. I want it on the Island, but it'll be out of pocket, and all the shops on the mainland I've called have also recommended that i get it here. I'm looking at several hundred dollars to do so. My rental car is only covered for a few days, so I'm out of pocket from that, though if I find a shop with a replacement car, at least that'll be covered. I'm reserved for camping on Sunday, for 10 nights and don't want to miss out on that. I need that to look forward to. It should have been easy to figure out where to take it - so i thought. I guess my other option would be to go and stay in Vancouver for a few days while its getting looked over...

I'm waiting to hear from my claims adjuster now, to see what she recommends, and how much the barge would be. Sigh.

BIG sigh. Now is when I need a song or 2 and maybe a couple of those great hugs. Though I do know that I won't dwell on it for long and will get positive soon. I'm just waiting for that to happen...
