And then that happened.

Well I was all set to go fossiling with my dad yesterday when I decided to send Goose out for Starbucks. I shouted playfully after her, 'And remember, don't crash my car!'. Then of course, she crashed my car.

I'll spare you the details, mostly because all I've done all weekend is fill out reports and repeat the details. It has gotten really really old. Anyway, Goose got T-Boned turning left off the street our complex is on. I got the call while I was in the shower and ran down there soaking wet and barefoot, but wearing clothes. (Thank god for small blessings.) Anyway. The car is destroyed. In fact as I was approaching it I didn't even think it was my car.

But it was. And now it's dead.

Goose was being attended to by the paramedics and I couldn't get close, but she was pretty clearly hurt. One of them came and told me they were going to take her to the hospital I work at, but once the guy started checking out her pelvis he changed his mind. Off Goose went the the trauma center. They told me I could ride with her, but I'd already promised the police I'd stay behind and help get the insurance stuff taken care of.

This necessitated a trip back to the house, which allowed me to grab shoes (hooray) but when I went to lock the house up I realized my keys were still in the ignition. By the time I got back to the crash site my car had already been towed and my keys were gone. *facepalm* We finished up at the site and the police officer gave me a ride to the hospital.

Goose was in a state when I got there, poor sweet, sweet Goose. She was hooked up to all kinds of things and puffy eyed and shaking. We spent most of the day at the hospital (She-she and Lavondrius came too). X-rays came back clear. There was blood in her urine but the CAT scan came back clear so they said not to worry about it. The nurse told us she'd start bruising pretty quickly and that it was going to be gnarly. And it is.

So that's that.

I'll try and post some pictures of both poor little Goose, and the car when I get the time. Right now though, I'm going back to bed.
