So, Maggie got an infection that required a prescription. Naturally, this was the morning she was supposed to fly to Minneapolis. I didn't have my cell phone, and hers died. So she tried calling her doctor from the pay phone. Four quarters later, she was out of change, and disconnected. Finally, we went to the pharmacy, used their phone. and waited to see if they would call in a prescription. They did. We picked up the prescription and went to the car. Time was beginning to feel a little tight. We drove off to the airport.
Wham.
When I was pulling out of my parking space, a woman made a left turn onto the same road. She was precisely perpendicular to me. I didn't see her, and we collided.
Here's the part where I turn into a jackass. At first, I thought I hit someone coming down the street. I thought it was totally my fault. So I got out of the car saying "oh, I'm so sorry, it's my fault." Then, when I was trying to figure out what happened, I said "You must have completed your turn, because of where I hit you." THEN I realized that I was standing in the wrong place, that the car was further back, and that it's quite possible it was either an entirely mutual hit, or that SHE HIT ME.
But naturally, she quoted what I said to the police, so that I would get all the blame.
I'm been on my own for an hour. I'm not doing such a good job. Let's hope things improve.

p.s. This all took place AFTER we got all the kids off to school. Thank goodness.
