Now What?!

I am sitting in bed, Saturday evening, watching Pride and Prejudice-the BBC Andrew Davies adaptation- a favourite viewing for rest and recuperation.
Had an interesting day yesterday which will explain why this piece will be so short...

Quiet morning, lunch at a friend's house.
I knew I would have a restful afternoon so was not concerned at how I needed a rest. My husband was going to a funeral at 2.45pm so I was assured of peace and quiet. As he was leaving he had an altercation with next door's car and damaged both vehicles.
I will not explain why, but take it as read that my husband needs help dealing with this kind of issue and therefore I had to find more energy. Firstly managed by bursting into action, then tears and then calm-ish (more so as the afternoon went on!) organisation
To cut a long story short, we managed the problem going to a garage, a bodywork specialist, ringing the insurance brokers and talking to two different insurance departments, relaying the story twice (why?), ringing the neighbour's brother, whose car it had been and had since left and then agreeing to a takeaway for tea.
By dealing with it all yesterday afternoon we both had a reassured night's sleep and a worry-free weekend ahead. I am just coping with it today with 3 hours of sleep this afternoon and a need for hot water bottles and reassuring TV from about 1pm onwards!
