Picking up the pieces:

Well, the front end of my car is dented and the hood is bent. the brakes are worse than before, too. I dropped it off at the shop today and my insurance company called and told me I'm entitled to a rental car for up to 30 days, so I took them up on that. It's fun driving a nice car, haha. It has keyless entry, working A/C, a CD player, a working radio, volume controls on the steering wheel... It's the bright side in the current situation.

Unfortunately, my brother can't drive the rental car because he's not 21 yet (darn! 5 months shy!), so we're working on getting his car up and running.

Sigh. What a way to spend my only day off!!!!
