Not A Good Monday!

Is any Monday a good Monday?  I don't think so.  The main thing I look forward to when Monday arrives is the stuff on TV for the night.  It's hard to get up and going plus Monday's seem to drag by.  This Monday was worse than other Mondays for me however, I was involved in a 4 car accident.

I'm okay but my SUV is not!  My SUV took quite the hit or crunch!  I was the 2nd car in the 4 car accident.  Therefore I have front end and back end damage. I was sitting in the left turn lane waiting for the arrow, out of nowhere someone plowed into the back of me pushing me into the car in front of me. Myself and the truck behind me were literally stuck together.  The tow truck that was called by police had to hook my SUV up then pull it apart from the other truck.  Let me tell you that was not a pleasant noise to hear the two vehicles being pulled apart.  The truck that was behind me had been hit from the rear by the 4th vehicle pretty hard. The 4th vehicle that caused the entire accident was a large truck.

My cargo door is so smashed in it's not able to open.  My license plate is pushed under the car so far it can't be seen.  The hood in front is not only bent inward it's also bent upward in other places.   We're thinking the hood will have to be replaced completely.  The front bumper and back bumper are done deals too. To help describe the impact, the screen that extends up from the backseat preventing the boys from getting out of the cargo area came unlatched and broke somehow. I also went around picking up pieces of my bumper at the accident sight.

I was able to drive my SUV home once it was pulled from the other truck. However, it's not exactly what I would classify "fully" operable.  It runs but there's no way I could handle driving it around like it is.  Our biggest concern with the SUV is whether or not the framework has been damaged.  We'll find that out when we take it in. I have to take Cody to the vet tomorrow, the vet and then the body shop on Wednesday are the only times it's being driven.  Cody will have to sit up front with me because there's no way to get him in the cargo area.  Trust me he won't mind sitting up front.  Overall I'm okay but I am sore.  I'm a little concerned I'll be even more sore tomorrow.  My back is hurting the most, it was quite the jolt.
