car crash

[alexseanchai]

I'm okay. Other driver's okay. Our cars are not okay but Dad says he can fix mine and my insurance will doubtless pay to fix other driver's. I'm shook up good, though, still shook up nearly four hours later, and I got ticketed for "failure to remain stopped", and I owe the city money and I owe somebody else money for the tow and another somebody for repairs though I'm not clear yet who these somebodies are.

Thank fuck I have emergency money.

Hugs? Reassurance that I can rebuild emergency fund and that my car will be fine and that the world is not about to end?

(How in hell do I tag an email post? I know I have instructions somewhere but apparently I forgot to star them in Gmail...or possibly they're in the old Gmail...)

*hugs* That's a scary experience. It's only natural to be shaken up for a while; take care of yourself.

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

[wishfulclicking]

Oh, hugs. Car crashes are scary; I've been involved in three with varying levels of severity and each time it left me shook. It's good that your dad can fix your car and you have emergency funds. I'm sure you can rebuild your emergency funds even if it may take a while. Why do you owe the city money, is it the ticket?

[alexseanchai]

It is the ticket, yes. Bah. I mean, it was my fault no question, but bah.

Hugs. Thanks.

Holy shit. I'm glad you and the other driver are okay. Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

Hugs, sweet tea, warm blanket. Please take care of your blood sugar. And thank you for letting us know - and, yes, I very firmly believe in your capability to extricate yourself.

[alexseanchai]

Hugs hugs. Thanks. :)

I'm glad you're okay and yes, you can rebuild the funds. <3

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

[sharpeningthebones]

Oh you. *curls around and hugs so much*

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

Car crashes shaking one up: I've been in a couple of accidents, and they've all left me in shall we say heightened anxiety, including the one in which the only damage was that the dust on that side of the car was slightly grazed. So yes. Scary stuff. ((Hugs))

Your emergency fund will take some time to recover, but eventually it will. I assume your father can indeed fix your car. You can edit or input your tags when you get to a computer or a client or, y'know, full feature posting device.

Meanwhile, (((hugs))). And tea.

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks. :)

Hugs. Thanks.

*hugs* Oh yikes. Car crashes are scary as hell, even if nobody's hurt. I am so glad you're OK, and your dad can fix your car, and that you have some emergency money to deal with the rest of it.

You are awesome, and I have total faith that you can build your emergency fund back up. You've done it already, so you know the way.

The Calming Manatee thinks so, too.

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks. Manatees! :)

[ysobel]

*hugs and tea*

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

[randomling]

*hugs* You will totally rebuild the emergency fund. And yes, everything is going to be okay. ♥

Are you looking for pointers re: tagging email posts? (I know you asked, but I am so allergic to advice most of the time that I wanted to check in rather than just Telling You How.)

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks. :)

Please remind me how.

[silveradept]

Glad you're okay. Cars are fixable, people not as easily. The emergency funds will restore themselves eventually.

Most importantly, though, you're okay.

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

[rmc28]

Glad you're ok. Car crashes are scary. This is what emergency funds are for, and you built it once, you can rebuild it.

*warm drinks and being kind to yourself*

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

[pauamma]

Being shaken is normal.

[alexseanchai]

I figured, but still.

Thanks.

[lynnoconnacht]

Really glad to hear you're okay. *sends good thoughts and offers hugs*

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

[heliopausa]

That must be feeling horrible in so many ways. Sympathies. :( I hope you can find lots of ways (and that those around you find lots of ways) of being good to yourself right now and in the next while. So glad that everybody's unhurt, and yes, of course you'll be able to rebuild the emergency money!

[alexseanchai]

I have tea and ice cream. It is good.

Thanks.

[ofearthandstars]

I am glad that you are physically okay, I am sorry to hear about the car. For me, it was important to get out and get back to driving quickly, although I was very cautious thereafter, at least for a while.

And yes, you will be able to rebuild your emergency fund - you've already built it once, this means you're now a pro at it. ;)

♥

[alexseanchai]

Nod. Thanks.

[kiezh]

Hugs, tea, sympathy. :(

Scary and stressful, but you're okay, and this is totally survivable. You have survived the worst part already.

[alexseanchai]

Hugs. Thanks.

[amaebi]

Yow.

I'm sure you can and will recover in all respects.

But how horrid. :(

[alexseanchai]

Thanks.

[blueswan]

Hugs. Thanks.

[raze]

D: Glad to hear that you and the other driver are safe.

[alexseanchai]

Thanks.

[calissa]

I am glad that you are safe :)

[alexseanchai]

Thanks.

[shanaqui]

You are okay, which is the important thing. You can rebuild your emergency fund, and this kind of thing is exactly what it's there for -- congratulations on your foresight (god knows I don't have much of an emergency fund). ♥

The somebodies will doubtless make themselves clear in time; you just focus on what you can deal with, starting with self-care, and take everything else as it comes.

[alexseanchai]

Thanks.

[animus_wyrmis]

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you're okay. Car crashes are always really scary. ::hugs::

Also of course you will rebuild your emergency fund! This is what it's there for, also--car crashes are like textbook emergencies.
