The only word i can think of describing how i feel today is "blurry". I feel as though if you took a picture of a group of people in which i was standing, everyone would be in sharp focus except me. Thankfully, i received a good number of tasks to do for the day which i had to finish before i could leave, so i stayed good and busy and didn't have too much time on my hands to think too much about what happened yesterday. I actually didn't even tell any of my friends at work what happened to me until lunchtime, and then only a few at that.
I found out from the insurance adjustor by phone this afternoon that the informal verdict on my car by the mechanic is that it is probably totaled, but that that the official estimate will come early next week. Mike, the co-worker who drove me home last night and to work this morning, was also kind enough to drive me home from work, and my roommate Mike was also quite good to drive me to the airport to pick the rental car i have reserved for the week. Looks like i'll be doing some informal car shopping this weekend, to possibly get more serious as the week develops.
Still, it occurred to me today that an "unlucky" event can still be providential, yesterday being a case in point.
