The Good: I got into a car accident on Friday and was lucky to walk away with a mild case of whiplash. There was no one else in my car and no one was seriously injured. I was hit from behind and thankfully, not only did the driver of the other car come forward immediately, he has been more than amicable and cooperative about sorting this out. On top of that, the Boyfriend has been in looking after me and driving me around. Even the Boss has been rather kind and told me to take a day or two off to rest.

The Bad: My little car was pretty badly banged up and had to be sent back to the shop.

The Ugly: The damage is in the region of $8000 (!!!!). There was a mountain of paperwork to be done before any repairs are even started. I won't see my car for at least 2 weeks.
