SIDE SWIPED ! ! ! OH DEER ! ! !

BOY WAS I SIDE SWIPED!!!

ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING... UGGGG...


A MEAN LARGE DEER (I don't know if it was a doe or buck, but the car wasn't scratched.. but then Norman said that some bucks haven't got their horns back yet?) ANYWAY.. I WENT AROUND A SORT OF LONG, SHARP TURN AND

 BAMMM!!!! RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF MY CAR.. RIGHT ABOUT MY SEAT AND THEN ON BACK.. RUINED THE BACK DOOR AND BEHIND IT IS DENTED ALSO.. THE BACK DOOR HAS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED!
WHAT A JOLT!!!

I GOT OUT MY SELL PHONE, ONCE I FOUND A DECENT PLACE WHERE I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD.. I CALLED WORK.. (to let them know I am coming.. but I am delayed) THEN CALLED NORMAN ... (Oh honey, tell me what to do ! ! ! !) AND THEN CALLED 911.. THEY PUT ME THROUGH TO THE STATE POLICE AND A REAL NICE STATE POLICEMAN CAME AND MET ME THERE AND GAVE ME THE PAPERS I NEEDED FOR MY INSURANCE..

NORMAN CAME DOWN THERE TO WHERE I WAS ALSO.. (I'M GRATEFUL, THANKS BABE) AND STAYED WITH ME UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER WITH.. THEN ONCE I GOT TO WORK, I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SAID TO TAKE THE CAR ON FOR A ESTIMATE (OF OUR CHOICE) SO I CALLED NORMAN AND HE CAME AND GOT THE CAR AND TOOK IT ON THANKFULLY .. SO THAT PART IS DONE! HE ALSO WENT UP BY THE INSURANCE PLACE..

 WHEN HE TOLD ME HE WAS COMING RIGHT ON DOWN TO WHERE I WAS.. I TOLD HIM TO LOOK FOR THE DEER.. I DON'T KNOW IF ONE OF THE TRUCKS BEHIND ME (I KNOW IT WASN'T THE ONE RIGHT ON MY BEHIND.. BUT THEN THERE WAS A CAR, AND ANOTHER TRUCK BEHIND THAT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL ELSE) BUT.. HE CAME RIGHT ON AND DIDN'T SEE THE DEER ANYWHERE! AFTER CAVING THE BACK DOOR OF MY LITTLE BLACK CAR IN AND A DENT IN THE FRONT AND IN THE BACK PANEL.. I CAN'T IMAGINE IT JUST RAN ON OFF ? ? ? BUT WHO KNOWS.. HE SAID IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE TO BE SEEN! WOW! SUPER DEER.. (guess it was afraid it would get charged with hit and run) 

GEEZ......  the estimate was for over three grand... now if that isn't enought to cause your heart to skip a beat!....... but the trooper said.. it's not IF you hit or get hit by a deer up here on this road.. it's more like WHEN...

SCARY ISN'T IT? ? ? KAMAKOZIE DEER! WHO WOULD HAVE "THUNK IT?"

 WELL, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE.. IT DID MOVE MY CAR A LITTLE WHEN IT HIT.. BUT TOWARDS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD.. AT LEAST NO ONE WAS HURT! AND IT DIDN'T MAKE ME ACTUALLY WRECK ... SO, FOR THAT, I'M GRATEFUL!!!

                                    I AM SOOO GLAD THAT THE GRANDKIDS
WEREN'T IN THE CAR WITH ME.. AND I'M GLAD THAT HOMER JOE WASN'T WITH ME EITHER... just a couple of weeks ago, he showed me when we drove upon a wreck that he was scared of the lights even .... LOL
