But I'm very very glad to hear you are okay, even though your truck is not. Better it than you. Scary. But I’m very very glad to hear you are okay, even though your truck is not. Better it than you.

The more time that passes, the more I think, "wow, that could have been so much worse." And I think my truck did a valiant job of protecting me. And, I spoke to my adjuster and he has already spoken to witnesses who have said they watched the bus run the red light, so that is a big relief. It's a crappy situation but so far the details are unfolding in a pretty decent way, not unlike my whole cancer experience so far. See how I tied it back into cancer? Tricky, eh?

I'm also going to say that in my experience, ICBC is on the whole fairly decent, but wow, does that decent factor ever ramp up when you use the magic phrase "You'll have to talk to my lawyer about that". It took me about 3 years to settle but it was worth the wait. Document everything, take pictures and don't sign anything. I'll send you my lawyers contact info... Again, I'd pick you over your truck any day! Sheena I’m gonna second the “just glad to hear you’re OK” thing!

I'm glad you came out of it in one slightly lumpy piece. The truck was nice and all, but you're way more cuddly. Yeah, Babycakes. I’m glad you came out of it in one slightly lumpy piece.

The truck was nice and all, but you’re way more cuddly.

So glad that you came out all right. It is always a hassle to deal with insurance, and all that crapola that comes along with an accident. But of course you can replace all the "things." I am hoping your interview went well, and that it will be an option for you. What a stressful week! Oh my god, how scary for you. So glad that you came out all right.

It's a week later and I am still pretty tender and I say "ouch" a lot, but I have all my limbs and organs and important things. The interview was really bizarre. The actual interview was great, but then they gave us a test which could easily have been part of a first semester mid-term, it was that involved in library theory. I have absolutely no idea what the outcome will be, but I feel pretty okay with either option. Thanks, Rae.
