I’m working on tidying up the rig this morning and keep finding little shards of china and glass in the far flung corners of the rig.

Every single cup, bowl, and saucer in the cabinet over the fridge came out of the cabinet and broke when I was rear ended:

There might not seem to be much in that box, but almost everything broke into pieces so small as to be unrecognizable from what they were.

This china was collected over almost 10 years of travel. I have never broken a piece as a direct result of RV travel. Heck, it flew cross-country and arrived unscathed. I couldn’t even begin to value this collection but I know that ‘several hundred dollars” is not an exaggeration. But, truly, it was priceless and utterly irreplaceable.

You’d think I’d be pissed off right? Well, it’s just dishes. I cannot believe that I am at this point in my life, where stuff really is just stuff, and my reaction was “What a mess, I’m going to step in broken glass for weeks, and one less think to declutter down the road!”

I’m going to find out the price of a nice Corelle set and will be claiming that amount on my insurance.
