And my day was going so well...

Got off work, went for a nice stroll, had a nice dinner in Palo Alto with Daniel and his parents, who are in town for the summer. Driving back along University Ave., I reach an intersection where a driver is stopped for no reason I can determine. I stop too. Car behind me doesn't stop. Crunch.

The good news: I don't appear to be injured, although I got enough of a jolt that I'll be a bit surprised if I don't have a sore neck or shoulders tomorrow. The car is driveable. The other driver, although he did try to persuade me to settle this without involving our insurance companies, was very cooperative and gave me all the information I needed.

The bad news: Well, my car's gonna need a new bumper for sure. And if I have to skip lifting weights tomorrow morning because I have whiplash, I'm gonna be pissed. Grrr.

Thanks! I'm feeling better than I expected to this morning - no pain, though I'm just the tiniest bit stiff. But I've done worse to myself by sleeping in an odd position. (Knock on wood. I've heard stories about people who thought they were fine just after the accident and then had something turn up later, so I'm being cautious about declaring myself fine. But I did go to the gym and lift weights this morning, so I can't be too damaged.)

The car will be a pain the butt to get fixed, but at least I won't be paying for it. ;)
