I'm a Bit of a Wreck right now

When I was a kid one of my favorite book was called "Fortunately/Unfortunately" And that pretty much sums up what happened this afternoon.

I was in a car accident today.

Fortunately it was totally not my fault.

Unfortunately a Hummer ran a stop sign and crashed to the car I was driving.

Fortunately my seatbelt did its job and I am mostly unhurt.

Unfortunately the car is totaled.

Fortunately the car was a rental because ours was in the shop for a minor repair.

Unfortunately the amount of paper work we had to fill out was rather vast.

Fortunately Peter came back from NYCC to help me.

Unfortunately he didn't make his signings or panels today.

Fortunately he will be there tomorrow as will the rest of us.

I am grateful that I am not hurt past a couple of bruises and a bit of a headache.

Glad to hear you're mostly unhurt. Do take care of yourself the next few days.

*hug*

Glad you're safe and sound...

Hope the Hummer driver gets a REALLLLLLY severe rash in incomfortable places!

Gah! I'm glad you're okay, and that it wasn't your car that was totaled.

My thoughts are with you.

So glad to hear you are fine.

I have to say that I cringe everytime there are TV shows where people are driving though intersections and get hit from the side by someone running a stop sign, red light.

I'm sorry you were in an accident today, but am very very relieved you are ok!!

Take care, and please get to a doctor if the headache doesn't go away.

OMG. I'm so glad you're not seriously hurt (at least not physically! Mentally, I'm sure, is another matter). *hugs lots*

Gods, that idiot. IDIOT. :(

I join the chorus of "glad you're okay." Whew. I hope the headache (and shaken feeling) recede soon.

I echo everyone else -- I'm so happy and relieved you're OK!

Take it easy, and I'm crossing my fingers that the headache goes away/

Glad you are ok. That kind of stuff is scary.

Owie! Glad to read you survived intact. May your pains be as few as possible.

Yikes and hugs!!! I'm sorry this happened!! :(

I remember that book! Fortunately, this story ends with a 'fortunately' instead of 'unfortunately'.

I hope you're not too sore today. Hang in there. I'm sending some positive vibes your way.

HOLY SHIT! (Sorry, only getting around to LJ just now.) Yes, very grateful you're not badly hurt! Wow, accidents suck. Be grateful no one else was hurt, either... personal injury lawsuits suck even more, and I wish I didn't speak from experience. :-/

I'm grateful that you are mostly unhurt and that it wasn't your car.

I'm sorry you had to deal with the stress of it all though.

Glad you are okay.

Aaaah! I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're okay, and I'm also glad it was NOT your own car that got totalled.

But I am sorry for all the paperwork.

Here's to having a good day at NYCC Saturday.
