Car Accident

I was in a car accident on Feb 18 while en route to a cat show in Colorado. I rolled my truck onto its side. It sustained about $3000 in damage plus the window and the towing. Sammy got out onto the road but was picked up by a passer by. One of my kittens was lost for nearly 5 hours. I actually had to leave the scene with the tow truck driver and come back and look for him. By some miracle we found him in some weeds by the side of the highway. I still went to the show with my friend in her truck, we did mediocre – it was a campaigner show and the kittens, while nice, are only 4 months old. I managed to get a new window for my truck while in Colorado and got the wheels fixed to a point where I could drive the truck home. But not after picking up a nasty flu bug. The drive home was absolutely terrifying and I broke down (mentally) 2 hours from home. Fortunately Steve was able to talk me home. This is my third accident driving to Colorado for a cat show - maybe Mother Nature is trying to tell me something? Fly maybe?
