It usually happens all at once

Ha, so some things are going great, others are exploding.

Put in my two weeks notice a couple days ago at my part time job. It's just too much work, hours, energy for too little pay and I feel like I've done all I can there. I don't have something that immediately fills that pay, but I think I'll be able to get it to that level since my business partner/grad BFF has been getting our reputation pretty solid.

Of course, then her parents got hit by a couple of meth-heads while loading their car with groceries. They're alive, and stable, but that did a lot of damage. :< Going to be a lot of physical therapy and adjustments, I hope that I can help with what I can (and I have been given a few to dos which admittedly makes me feel better as I can DO something).

My dad also caught a mild case of pneumonia. Because he doesn't know how to retire. Dad, retire. Hilariously found out about this with a pleasant email from my mother. The tone was such that it sounded like they'd just taken a stroll, not gone to the emergency room at 6am.

Now I have to sew a scarf. And clean the house. Hopefully this next two weeks goes fast.

THEY WILL GO LIKE A WINK I BELIEVE IT.

I just- that car accident is such a load of WHAT. I'm so happy they're going to be alright.

And your dad will too. Just... on his own Dad time, apparently. Oof. Mine does stuff like that too though X_X.

May your scarf be amazing.

Thinking the best of thoughts for you, your business partner, and all family members. What a load of stuff to hit all at once. :(

I'm glad you're able to quit the day job to focus on what gives you joy!
