When it Rains, it Pours

Those were Sam's exact words to me yesterday, and I couldn't agree more. The good news is that Franklin quickly recovered and we were able to pick him up from the vet's yesterday, after paying a pretty penny for his vet bills. Oh well. We're glad we have him back. That's the good news.

Well, yesterday (on the way to pick up Franklin from the vet) I was involved in a little car accident. My carpool buddy and I were driving home from work and we were stopped at a stoplight. The lady behind us just plowed right into us. She said that her foot slipped off the foot pedal, but she hit us pretty hard. Luckily, the damage wasn't too bad. My carpool buddy's bumper is all messed up but the car that hit us had pretty much no damage to it.

Unfortunately, I already have neck problems because of a previous car accident that I was in about 5 years ago. I regularly go to a chiropractor because of these neck problems. Needless to say that this new accident hasn't helped me heal. My neck and back have been pretty painful today. So I took the day off today to get it all checked out. I went to the doctor today and they took x-rays of my back and neck. Everything looked fine, but my muscles and back are pretty sore. She gave me some muscle relaxers (those make me SOO happy!!) and I basically just rested and slept. Hopefully I'll start to feel better soon!!

This has just been a REALLY expensive month with Franklin's bills, my doctor bills (and now add additional chiropractor bills), taxes, repairing our heater, replacing our front door and security screen. It just goes on. Things could be MUCH worse. I'm grateful for that. It just always seems like life just goes along smoothly and then all of a sudden everything just seems to hit at once. I guess that's just how things go! :)
