UNEXPECTED EVENT

Well, there is always something unexpected around the corner huh?

2nd Man had an accident this afternoon. Ugh.

The upside, he's OK, no injuries thank goodness, it wasn't his fault either and the other person has insurance, so that's all good.  The downside, the car is not driveable, so now we have to get a rental car and go through all that.  This will of course impact this weekend's farm plans as we were going to use his Jeep (much bigger than my car) for hauling some things out there and buying bedding plants and we will most likely end up with a smaller rental car.  He also may have to go into work tomorrow to make up for being out this afternoon.  Alas, posting and comment replies might be sporadic this weekend until I'm sitting in front of a computer, but I'll see what I can come up with.

  1. sorry to hear about the accident but at least he's not injured and other driver has insurance. since it was not his fault the other insurance has to cover rental car so you can ask for a jeep or a truck :)

    1. Thanks! Yes, cars can be fixed, harder to fix people. We asked for a jeep/truck but they were all 'out' being rented by others but they may switch it out for us this week if it looks like repairs will take time.

    1. Awww, you're too kind. He ended up working but he said it was quiet and he was able to focus so that's good. I was able to get my zen time at the farm, so that was good too, ha. Thanks again, you're very sweet.

  4. So sorry to hear that, but at least he is OK and that is most important. Shame you can't drive on your lawn mower instead, that would be much more fun.

  5. Yuck...but I'm SO glad to hear that he is okay!!

    Frugal Living UK - I saw a movie once about a man who drove across the country on a lawn mower...it was the slowest, most boring movie ever, but it sounded like an interesting adventure...maybe Man 1 and Man 2 could do a re-make...:)

    1. LOL! Y'all had me laughing about that one. I could see that. 2nd Family said she's seen some people down at the little store down the road from the farm ride up on their mowers!! They take the mowing deck off and then it's like a little four wheeler of sorts. Too funny!

      Thanks for the warm thoughts. :-)

  6. Oh NO! So glad 2nd man is ok. Everything else is nothing as long as no one was hurt. This darn thing called life really jumps up and bites you in the arse now and again.

    1. Thank you!!! Yes, it first came in as a text message. "Call me NOW, 911". Ugh. Scared the crap out of me, ha. I'll work on the 'remake', ha. Thanks again for being so sweet!

  10. Ugh! Accidents suck! I'm glad to hear that it seems like the best case scenario for an accident though, being that 2nd Man is safe, not at fault and the other guy has insurance! I hope you two are being kind to each other and resting up as much as possible...scary things like that are completely exhausting!!!
