rhenny's blog: "Hectic Week"

Was a very hectic week.  My father had to be transferred to a nursing home because of his failure to cooperate with the doctors and nurses at the rehab hospital.  This occured on Tuesday and It took nearly 24 hours to het him settled in.  About noon on Wednesday I stopped at the local Barnes and Noble bookstore cafe for a Starbuck's coffee and to browse the book aisles.  After a while the intercom came on describing my vehicle and requesting that the owner come to the service desk.  There I was informed that someone had hit my vehicle and taken off.  Luckily one of the store employees had seen the accident and got the license number of the other vehicle.  I called the police and the officer was able to track down the owner and obtain his insurance information.  The officer stated that he would not make a report if the gentleman agreed to pay the damages otherwise he would have to arrest him for hit and run.  I left the cafe at 3:45 p.m.

Wednesday was spent obtaining estimates from three different body shops whose average estimates was $1400.00.  This is for a broken lense on the left rear light, a scratch on the bumper and a 1" wide by 6" long dent on the left side of the hatchback door.

Thursday I met with the gentleman's insurance agent who accepted the bid from the bodyshop I preferred and took pictures of the damages.  I contacted the bodyshop and was told that they could take my vehicle next week and have the job completed within a week and a half.

Friday and Saturday was spent catching up on work related buisness.  Sunday was I going blow off steam somewhere.

Take care everyone
