08-15-22 recovery
I realize now that my problem breathing yesterday was stress. After my misadventure I stuffed down the response so I could be present with the family. I woke up early, made the bed for tonight’s guests and headed to the car wash. Up until the moment I exited and did a full inspection of my car I had been holding in my reaction. That is super unhealthy for me and as it happens I had very good reason to react. The top of my car is very damaged as well as other spots down the side of the windshield and on the hood where I couldn’t fully support the weight load as I was moving it all off yesterday. I am only 5’3” and although strong, it was at least 100 pounds, best guess and over my head with the most of the load on my non-dominant arm. I suspect adrenaline aided me at the time but today my neck and part of my left arm really ache.
Once I saw the true damage That was done, The emotion completely overwhelmed me. I drove straight to the Hyundai dealership to see what they would do about it. I bought the car with the roof rack installed and I have never heard of a Tulle system failing. All I remember is them giving me the key to remove the racks should I choose to and there was no instruction otherwise. The guy in the service department came out to look and was very dismissive telling me to call my insurance company. I told him I was not willing to put it on my insurance for the next 10 years when it was their installation that caused the problem. He said it was on me to make sure it was tightened. I check the security whenever I put my kayak on, pulling back and forth to make sure it is secure, never in my wildest imagination did I think the whole thing would come off. He said he would email the Gm, Josh and see what they were willing to do. I started to leak tears as I was so terribly disappointed that my shiny new car is so damaged and they were not willing to take any ownership. I reminded him they were lucky I didn’t die, or have it come off going down the highway. …. No considerate response whatsoever. I shall return tomorrow morning and every day until they are sick of me. Should I not get a satisfactory response, I will contact Tulle and let them know what happened and that the dealership is selling them without proper install or instruction.
The rest of the day was very challenging as I was recovering from the emotions, very tired and needing to concentrate which makes me have tone. I don’t mean to and I have to explain and apologize in advance to my clients as I really have a hard time faking it when I am that deep in the feels.
I did get all my necessary payroll done and then came home to welcome my new guests. A lovely man from Olympia Washington and wife from Ecuador who now live in Saskatoon! I did eventually ask them if they had a K1 visa as I am addicted to 90 day fiancé but they got married in Ecuador and apparently it came with it’s own shit-show.
I am about to head to bed after a delicious meal. They forgot to put in the tomato but I have crown so i will survive. I hope tomorrow is a better day.
