When it rains, it pours

Good intentions and the best laid plans can come to naught through things outside your control.

I was planning on have a smooth transition in moving to our new house. But in the last several weeks several setbacks have occured.

First my pregnant wife was placed on bed rest. So I would have to pack by myself.

Next my laptop gave up the ghost again. About 4 months ago I had to have it repaired. It was almost two years old. I was sure that would work for at least another year.

And today a tree branch fell on my car. It smashed my windshield and seriously deformed the roof of my car. It is covered by insurance but I have a thousand dollar deductible.

But what do you do? You can give up and say I must not be fated to have to succeed in my plans. Or you can take some deep breath to let go of the stress and move forward. Things were a lot easier when my parents would just take care of my problems. Being an adult is hard work.

Did you get a picture of your car? I hope that everything goes well with the insurance and you get it fixed soon. Is there rain in the forecast? Since your car was parked at home does it fall under homeowner's insurance? With a smaller deductible? Did you find out for sure if its the same problem with your laptop? I hope there's smooth sailing from now on!
