So long, Trailblazer

While I was on holidays, I lent my Trailblazer to a friend's cousin in hopes that he'd ultimately be interested in purchasing the truck from me. It was going well, and it seemed like we'd be talking purchase details once I returned from holidays.

Unfortunately he got into an accident two days after I left... I finally got a chance to go see my truck today and it really drove home how lucky BJ was to come away with just a broken ankle and some cuts on his face...




The police are still working on their investigation and report, and I hope we will have that in hand shortly. We've already been in touch with the insurance company to get the claim going so I guess it is just a matter of waiting now and letting everyone do their part. I've got comprehensive insurance so should come out just fine.

Even though I'd already purchased a different vehicle, I was still attached to this truck... it was so much fun to drive and was the perfect vehicle for AK and I for a couple of years.

The Spark is a better choice now though... I'm guessing I'll pay about half in insurance, half in gas, and way less for maintenance and repairs. Plus it's bright yellow, which is sunny and happy, just like AK and I :)

I also had to go down to the water authority today... my water bills are creeping up (more like jumping exponentially) again... so here goes the fun of having them investigate and so forth once again.

I'm all stocked up on groceries now, thanks to trips to THREE grocery stores last night (probably spent my savings on gas running around, ha!) so can just relax with a double-header at yoga tonight. There is a partner yoga class next Saturday, I need to think of who would come along with me. xo
