So a lot has happened overnight. Well not much I guess just a big thing.
Mom got the heat on her van fixed yesterday and on the way home she got in an accident. She's ok, I'll lead with that. When she turned onto a street, the truck that was turning as well got her just right with his headlights. She overshot the road and got stuck in a ditch. There's nothing marking the edge of the road so it's easy to do and she had to do it in the deepest part and the wettest.
I have no clue of they got it out last night, I didn't stick around. I got mom home and checked her out. She's fine, shaken and bruised up but fine. I'm hoping that the damage is mostly cosmetic.
Dad is doing ok. We're making progress as small as it is.
I didn't make the rescue meeting last night for obvious reasons but it's ok. I didn't miss much.
I did stop by our station and turns out we got a new heater and our engine is still leaking. Go figure.
The shop is doing ok. So the actual shop is coming along. I have to get a few more things out to really start putting things up. Right now what's up is a small amount of what I have. The orders though could be better. Right now the only orders I'm getting are from scams and it's very disheartening.
Yesterday I started trying to learn to crochet and apparently cross stitch. My husband is in full support of me right now, I think he's trying to keep me from breaking down lol.
There is still so much to sell it's not even funny. I'm trying though. The more I can sell the more we would have toward the bills. I'm really hoping I'm not biting off more than I can chew doing this.
Today I don't have anything but tomorrow I have another meeting then training on Saturday. After training we're going to see dad and I'm excited because things should be better. As better as it can be anyway lol.
I've decided on part of a new routine today and we'll see how it works out. I'll work on my puzzle in the mornings then at night I can read. I need a routine for in the middle but it's a start.
What is everyone else up to today?
Did you get to see the Northern Lights?

That’s a lot to deal with! I hope you start to feel better about everything going on.
In about an hour, I’m going to drop off my dog at a friend’s house. I’m going on a trip with my sister and her family on Friday so I need her to watch my dog.

I'm glad your mom wasn't seriously hurt. You have a lot going on. Try not to get overwhelmed. No, I didn't see the Northern Lights. Saw them once when I lived on Lake Erie. Had an appointment with the lawyer today but had to reschedule.
