Yikes, Jess. What a crappy way to end a nice vacation.
Everything before then was good, though?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

We're both fine, physically. The car was a little banged up, but except for a blown-out tire, it was all cosmetic damage. AAA came and changed the tire for us, but since the spare was a doughnut, we could only drive it to the next town. Fortunately, AAA Guy was able to direct us to an exit that had three hotels and a tire place right off the highway. So we checked into a Holiday Inn for the night, bought a new tire in the morning, and got home yesterday afternoon.
Everything else before that was incredible -- we had the cabin almost entirely to ourselves, we had two great sails, lots of great kayaking, even more great lying on the couch reading...oh I want to go back. NOW.
I posted a link to the pictures in Beep Me, but they're here if anyone wants to see them.
[eta: Oh, and because one of my co-workers wanted to see the vacation pics, I made all the F2F and hair sets friends/family-only. Anyone who wants to see them, just join Flickr (it's free, and they don't spam) and add me as a contact so I can add you back.]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Welcome back, Jess! I am very glad that neither of you got hurt the accident. I hope that part of the vacation memories fades much sooner than the rest.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Welcome back, Jessica!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Jessica! Hi! Yay!

Sorry about the accident, Jessica. The rest of the trip sounds lovely!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
who's fault is it that I am eating French Toast?
sorry about the accident - you need to go back for another week to make up for it.

The French, clearly.

I know! In the meantime, I have this as my desktop.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Jessica, I'll chime in with everyone else to say boo to the accident but yay to the otherwise good vacation.
So, I interviewed at a staffing agency for an internal position and they are already checking my references. I'm desperate to give my notice today or tommorrow. I don't know if I can let myself do it without a job offer, but at the same time, I feel like I can some up with something in two weeks. It's ok if it's not spectacular, because I'm looking to move in the spring. I just don't know if I should make the call today or not.

Hmmm... Jess left the country and all we had was a heatwave.
