So, one of my neighbors needed help getting his wireless internet connection working. He's a buddy of mine, so I was more than happy to offer him a hand in getting that set up for him. As I'm backing out of the driveway this morning to head over to his house, I hear a sickening crunch and I realize I have backed into a Chevy Trailblazer that was parked across the street from me. The front bumper will need to be replaced. I haven't gotten the estimate back yet from the guy, but I'm sure it's not going to be pretty.
Now, financially, this isn't going to break me. I'll pay cash or I'll go through my insurance is it's really outrageous, and it won't keep my kids from eating. It's not like I'm rich, though, and I certainly would have rather used the money for other things around the house.
I guess the most frustrating part of it is knowing that the only reason I was leaving the house was to help a friend, and ultimately, I would have been better off if I would have stayed home.
Things could certainly be worse, but sometimes it feels like you just can't get ahead.
Thanks for listening.
