I fear the Kia Pet is no more. As I was on my way to pick up (of all things) chicken for our staff meeting last night, the light turned yellow so I hurried up and went through since I was already in the intersection. Nice man in the LARGE Dodge van had the same thought and completed his left-hand turn at the same moment. Needless to say, the Kia is now in shambles awaiting some TLC or at minimum, a decision. It was a shock, as the air bags did deploy, but I was able to just kinda jump right out of the car and look at the wreckage. Mind you, I've had bronchitis all week and it was a bit chilly yesterday so I'm standing on the street waiting for Chicago's finest, coughing myself silly. I was fine... until I called Porch. Then the tears started, but I quickly pulled myself together with the thought I'm alive. It's a car. It can be replaced.
I made it to my staff meeting about 30 minutes late, but they had started and were already engaged in the workshop -- thank you Allen for being so amazing -- and I was super proud of them. Ms. Lisa and Lulu went to get the chicken & we all had dinner together. Thank you ladies for your willingness to help out!! It's appreciated. More than you know!
So my Thursday was a little bit crazy, far more crazy than usual. But I did manage to watch the Grey's musical. And of course it made me a little teary... that could have been me. Well minus the baby thing and I was wearing my seat belt because momma didn't raise no fool. =)
Thankful for the love & thoughts that people are sending... you're all fabulous.
Am already thinking of what will happen... will I get my Kia back or will I have to go through the process of choosing a new one all over again? Because let me tell you, Los Porchs are pretty picky people when it comes to vehicles. I may have to get a CTA pass in the time it takes us to decide on something that will meet our standards. :)
And now, a moment for the Kia Pet.
