Two years later another accident

So you may know already that I was in a car accident this weekend. It really stinks. I drove up to the OC from San Diego. It was a sunny day in SD and I had been searching for an apartment and think I found one in La Jolla. So I drove back to Oceanside later that afternoon and was window shopping and realized I did not want to go back to my room and spend a night there watching tv. So I texted some friends and I was invited to go to dinner and others said do it, it will be fun. As I was in the northern part of Oceanside I opted to not go back to my place and head straight to the OC. As I started driving there was a hale storm. I thought huhm maybe I should head home and not go but then I listened to the traffic report and figured it was safe. I even took the toll road to avoid any traffic in the rain. As I was near Huntington Beach I realized I was wearing flip flops, had no sweather and thought I should stop at the Target in HB. So I pulled off on Beach Blvd. I was making good time saw a cop at a street and thought this is a rough weather to be a cop in. Then a few minutes later I saw the car in front of the car in front of me slide and slam the brakes. The car in front of me slam their brakes and boom. I was of course breaking started to slide and let go of the brakes and started braking again and heard a softer boom. As I sat there thinking great I started to undo my seatbelt but looked in rear view mirror and knew I was about to be slammed into and slid down my seat. I heard a bigger boom within seconds. My friend Lisa came and made sure I was ok. I also realized there was a sweatshirt in my back seat and shoes. After all was done I drove to the Boulton's and parked my car and went to have dinner. I was looking forward to eating a nice meal. That was not in the cards. The appetizers were not good, my scallop on my entree was burned and I could not eat anything after the yucky taste. Our entire meal was comped. Small blessings. I am now sore I have a mark from my seat belt but I am most grateful that nothing serious occurred. I am waiting to hear the outcome on my car. This may not seem like a trial to most people but to me it is big. I just spent $ 2,500 on this car so if it is totaled I will be very sad. Yet I know in the big overall picture there are worse things that could have happened.
