This is a picture of my car, Storm Moltenya. She died in the crash but thankfully, I’m okay! I’m healing from my concussion and this laceration should be gone in no time.
My car, Storm Moltenya, died in the second accident I was in this week. I just got the oil changed too!smh.

Welp. It’s safe to say that my life has definitely been lifeing lately. I was involved in not one, but two car accidents this week. The second one sent my baby, Storm Moltenya, right on up to car heaven. I only had her for a year!

The first wreck

In the first accident, I pulled a Caroline from the Outkast song, “Roses” and crashhhh, crashhh, crashhhhhed into a ditch. It was more of a clunk than a crash and my vehicle only sustained minor damage in that one. It happened after I dropped off food to someone as I was doing door dash. Oooh. You guys know I love alliteration! As I was pulling out of a hungry customer’s half-circle shaped, gravel driveway, a damn ditch caught me slipping.

I think I was in go-get-the-money-mode and hadn’t yet turned my car lights up as brightly as they needed to be for that dark ass driveway. After it happened, I thought that maybe the universe was trying to send me a message to slow-down, take it a little easier, and pay attention. So, I duly noted it, but I could have never imagined that not even a full 48 hours later, I would get hit with another whammy.
