I'm an Idiot...

So things have been tight lately. I had to borrow some cash from my brother to get my bills paid. He was very kind and gave me an extra $60 so I could take my wife out for our anniversary at the end of this month. I was very happy and so was she...

Well, I clipped somebody in a parking lot. The had a minor ding in their car, not small enough to ignore, but big enough to be a big problem, especially if the insurance companies got involved.........well.......yup, I gave em the $60. And now we have no cash for our Anniversary dinner, sigh. I feel horrible. I really wish I hadn't had that momentary lapse of judgement. (I tried to cut into the parking spot too closely, totally my fault. Kinda wish they had been pulling out, but they weren't even in their car when it happened.)
