I need a band aid

So this morning I got up at 0400 and went to work my first day on bikes..and guess what? I'm sick..and I decide to make my vest as tight as possible..which resulted in me pretty much passing out and being sent home sick..at 0600..so I get home around 0620 cough up a ton of phlegm then decide to go get bagels at Noah's when it opens at 0700. I'm heading over there when I decide to take a different route (mistake #1) so I'm driving south on Studebaker towards Stearns when I say to myself, "gee I'm hitting all the green lights...must be that it's 0700 (mistake #2) when I start driving through the GREEN light at Willow out of the corner of my eye I see a car coming westbound on Willow blowing through the red light! Resulting in this:




Her car:


Of course my brand new prescription sunglasses from Oakley ended up in the gutter..they flew out of the smashed rear driver's side door...I'm not happy! I'm sore as hell and have lovely seat belt burn.

UPDATE: I went to the tow yard to grab everything else that was left in my car..and from the pictures you can't tell how bad it was! The seat I was sitting in has been pushed over towards the center console and the beam between the rear and front of the car on the driver's door is pinched in..and the bottom were my feet were is also dented in...I'll be really surprised if they don't total out my car..the frame is bent!!!
