When It Rains It Pours.....

The saying when it rains it pours comes to mind. Why? Cause just when you think things cannot get worse, they do !

So I have been M.I.A. on blogger, but I have to check in every now and again. So as of 9-16-08, I had become the proud owner of a new Honda Accord 08 as a birthday gift to me. However, this past weekend an animal ran into my car(yes and animal and yes it ran into me). Therefore, it broke the bumper in two and part of the bumper is hanging off the car.

Okay, so did the animal live? Yes, whatever it was walked away. Were you hurt? No I was not hurt, but my feelings were. Oh boy, I was so upset it was crazy ! So lets overview the chain of events leading up to this event.

Had a week at work. I work in IT and had the pager which went off several times in the middle of the night. Fine, Friday came and I planned on enjoying the weekend, but had a severe headache which kept me in my bed. Saturday, I thought I would fight the headache and leave the house when WHAM ! Animal.......bumper.....car.....yeah basically. Which leads me back to today. So in this economy, you cant afford to have insurance going up on a brotha. Sunday was chill and then here comes Monday.

Monday become the mission to figure out how Malachi was going to get fixed(yeah I named my car and what?). I went to a couple body shops and the dealership. They gave me basically an estimate of 1000 dollars when it was all said and done. OH SHIT! I was very upset at this point. I called the insurance filed the claim after running around all day and just decided to take car of business. Have no choice but to suck it up right?

Well, I planned on going home for Thanksgiving, but this incident puts a real damper on my plans. Then on top of that, I planned on doing something special for someone, but that did not fall through at all. Money became a major issue and I am still trying to figure it all out as we speak on how to still make things happen.

When it rains it pours. But when there is a storm, there is surely a rainbow to follow......right?
