It's merely a flesh wound

Good news on the car front: The claim is filed and has been approved by my neighbors insurance company.

I really wanted to have it in the shop already, but hopefully I can get that done by the end of the week or early next week.

They still need to have a claims adjuster come out and look at the dent, but they have agreed to cover the repair and my rental car. Which is good. I would hate to have to use my bitchcraft on them.

I know what you are thinking... What bitchcraft? She is a marshmallow.

But I find it easier to be bitchy with people over the phone rather than people I have to actually see. Like the kitchen guys. More on that later.

Anyway, at first the dent in the car seemed HUGE. But every time I look at it, it looks smaller and smaller.

But that doesn't mean I don't want it fixed pronto.

Not to mention the fact that I can't get the hood open.

And given the car's recent history, I really want to be able to get the hood open.
