Do you remember those Parents Magazine Press books from the 1960s? Fortunately, by Remy Charlip is still one of the books I use to engage reluctant readers.

I had a Fortunately, Unfortunately day today. Nixie and I took Dutch to a beginning Nose Work class this evening, which was so much fun! It was an hour of hiding treats in boxes, on tables, under boxes, behind obstacles, and commanding the dog to "Find it!" We all had a really good time. But the dog training facility is in a small warehouse in a warehousey part of town, with no streetlights and no off-street parking. I came out to find that someone had smashed into the driver's side of my car, and bent both doors in. The car still drives but the doors don't open all the way. Don't know what it's going to cost to fix.

Oh shit, I love that book! Grew up with a copy inherited from my dad, and I used to know it by heart - still might!

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry about your car. And very glad you weren't in it when it was smashed.

Oof! Best wishes with getting the car fixed. That’s so frustrating and sad. (Oh, smashed with another car rather than, say, a baseball bat. At least it wasn’t on purpose, although they should have left a note.)

Hooray for good dog training. Ugh for the person that stuck your vehicle so terribly. They should have left insurance details, but hopefully you have sufficient coverage in the right places to make the cost no more than any deductible.

Good enough, then. Kudos to your body shop.
