I finally did hear from my insurance. They were contacted by the car rental company. I will have to pay the $1000 deductible and loss of use charges that the company incurred for taking the vehicle out of circulation. The insurance does not cover that.
All the work I did in the last month is now undone. The money will have to come out of my meager savings, and split between two credit cards.
The silver lining is that they called me this morning. At least I did not spend the weekend worrying about it. Financial stuff seems pretty bleak right now. I think I am going to take a break from thinking about it too much for now.

As Dory in "Finding Nemo" said, "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming ..."
I do feel like I'm stagnant at times, but will then be surprised when things have improved overall. Just make wise choices with the money that you have. A positive mindset will help. Keep posting and we'll keep rooting for you!

In other words, you're still better off than you would have been, so stay on the path you've been following. This is just a bump, not a chasm.

Sorry about your car, but that repair is just a hiccup. Keep your focus on the big picture and don't get caught up in the the little setbacks. Eventually you will turn around your money karma.
