It got sunny yesterday and started melting the snow. It was a nice day aside from the 20-25 mph winds and 40-45 mph gusts…
We went out to run errands and when when we got home, the wind blew my car door open into the car next to us when I was trying to get out. I feel just terrible
I left a note with my phone number and apartment number asking the person to call me, but they seldom move their car, so I may call the leasing office and ask them to call the owner to notify them.
There is a light whitish mark on their drivers side door, but there is no dent. The damage is minimal and there's a 99% chance it just needs to be buffed out, but I did still damage their car. I took pictures. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I hope the owner will agree to let us pay cash for the repairs. Our insurance is already going to go through the roof once I start driving again because of my DUI, so going through insurance is the worst case scenario. If they give us an estimate, I will pay them in cash the next day (same day if it's early enough) as long as they sign as receipt saying we payed for the repairs in full. I don't even really care if it's a written estimate or not as long as it's fairly reasonable.

My husband was already in a bad mood yesterday. He didn't lose his temper, but he was not a happy camper. He said it's just another day "living here." In other words, it's just another day living with me… and I'm nothing but trouble. I feel horrible.

Depending on how expensive these repairs are, I may have to delay getting my license back by a month or more. After the NH DMV sends me the letter and I take it to the MA DMV, I only have 30 days go to get insurance and I will have to put down 20% of the cost of the policy at that time and it will be a lot of money. I don't know when we'll be able to afford it if the repairs are expensive.

This whole thing has me so worked up. I really ****ed up bad. I feel just awful. I'm not looking forward to this phone call. It's 7am and I've already taken a full mg of klonopin… very unusual for me lately. Things were going really well, but the funny thing about anxiety is it only takes one thing to make everything else look like a ****ing catastrophe.
