Poor Christopher, Poor Car


Good afternoon to all. Today's entry comes to you from a guest blogger as the usual blogger is trying hard to get some sleep after the last two sleepless nights.

It has been an interesting week in the Larson household. As you can see in the picture above, Christopher is sound asleep right now, but the rest of the story is that he has been up the past two nights filling buckets with his tears. We have found that one of the frustrating parts of having an infant is their inability to communicate with us when something is wrong. Hence the guessing game began on Wednesday night. After no improvement on Thursday night, Kathy was ready for a doctor's appt on Friday, which she was able to get. The poor little guy has an ear infection. Glad the doc was able to tell us what was wrong. So, we have meds now and hopefully things will get better over the weekend. So that is Christopher this week.

Kathy had her book club this Wednesday. As you can see by the pictures below, she ran into a little issue on the way there on Wednesday night. She is okay, but the car took quite a licking. The pictures below reflect a 25-30mph collision without hitting the brakes. Ouch!




The car took it pretty well, considering the hard hit. Unfortunately, the cosmetic damage is minor compared to the hidden damage.



What you are looking at below, is frame damage on a uni-body car. Since it was hit on the right rear, the entire rear end is tweaked to the left. One of the rear doors is jammed shut; not a good sign.






Initial report from the body shop revealed that the damage was significant. At least the other party had insurance. (can't assume that these days). Because of the structural damage, there is a chance the repair costs could be significant enough to rule it as a total loss. Ironically, the car still drives fine. I'm just glad Kathy is fine and also glad the c-man was not with her when the accident occurred.
Ashly is off at an overnight church retreat tonight and will return on Saturday afternoon. School is going well and the biggest change is the spanish-class influence. Our home calendar is now in Spanish. It's just a matter of time before she will speak to us in Spanish and we won't have a clue what she is saying.
I just worked all week; nothing exciting.
