Counting my blessings

On Saturday, the womanchild got her first car, a used Honda Accord, a gift from her grandmother. Today, the brakes went out as she was approaching a three way stop. Unable to stop, she went through the intersection and got T-boned on the passenger side door. She had a friend in the car with her. Both of them, Thank God/dess, were wearing their seatbelts. C.'s friend is a little banged up, but okay. The womanchild hit her head on the steering wheel and the car door. She got a big shot of demerol, and we have an unfortunately all too familiar list of head injury symptoms to look for over the next few days. The driver and passengers in the other car are similarly shaken up but okay. Both cars are totalled.

This happened while I was in my job interview today. My cell phone kept on ringing, and I turned the ringer off. I was thinking the call was something along the lines of "What's for dinner?" After my interview, I called while I was still in the parking lot. I immediately put my emergency flashers on and basically flew home. We did the ER thing, and the boyfriend called while we were there. He came over immediately and basically hasn't left her side since, even though she's been snoring in his lap for about an hour.

I really can't process everything yet. I just know the most important thing. My daughter is basically okay. I've got job interview followup to do, pictures to take of the car which got towed to another town. I've got to get the CD player out of the car. There are police and insurance papers to fill out, and I already had a page long to do list for tonight and tomorrow.

I'm going to pull a Scarlett tonight. Tomorrow will come soon enough, and I'll deal with it all then.
