This morning, my neighbor called. At 7am. Never is it good when a phone rings that early.
This is a tree. That WAS in my yard.
See where it is now?
There's a Cadillac under there. Oh, and a Lexus ! Twofer !!!!
And if it had fallen the other way, it would have come straight into my bedroom and taken me out of my misery.
According to my homeowner's insurance, it's " an act of nature", and I am not responsible. My neighbors are. Oops. If the tree was dead and I knew it and it fell, then I would be super responsible. But it's quite obviously lush and rich. With a crappy root system.
So now I have to pay someone to come take the tree away. Insurance only covers that if it fell on an actual house, or was blocking MY driveway. Swell ! I'll soon be printing my own money.
And THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING !!
So I had to go to town to the post office to mail some stuff and register it and all that. Then I was actually going to go to the gym and to tan, just like the plan.
Then......
Oh yes. I don't even want to go into the details. Except THANKS YOU BONEHEADED #$#%#&#*
with no f-ing license or insurance !&^#^#$#%.
So I've been on the phone with Progressive and Tameron Honda Collision Repair and this one and that one and everyone except THE PERSON I want to talk to.
We are supposed to be "at sea" today. Day 2 of the cruise. I should be having a pina colada and listening to Jimmy Buffet and watching my husband enjoy his first cruise and rubbing sunscreen on his white Irish ass so he won't burn.
But nooooo, there's a f-ing tree on my neighbors cars, a dented up Honda in my garage and the weather is supposed to suck this afternoon and I have to go to WORK.
Maybe I'll get struck by lightning.
And I didn't go to the gym, the tanning bed, walk the dogs or ride my bike.
I came home, pitched a fit, and got back in bed.
I may not get back out.

Man, if you lived in Ohio I'd be there right away for that firewood!! (especially since I need to do some tree cutting before Sunday's race!)...

Aww Cozzie, I sure wish I could blow away that black cloud hovering over your head. Tomorrow will be better-it HAS to be- right? ((HUGS))
Man...what a mess you are having to deal with! I am so sorry. I wish I was closer to you to maybe help in some way! Chin up....
OK, shit happens. At least the tree fell on objects and not you. You say it would have put you out of your misery --- it could have made your misery worse.
Now, you've pitched your fit and fallen in it. Tomorrow, pick yourself up, and get with the program.
You know how people, stupid people, always say "One day you'll look back on this and laugh"? Well, I don't think that this will be one of those days. I do hope that it gets better for you real soon. You are in my heart and in my prayers!
At least the tree missed the house! Check out all of the damage up here on my blog!
