I can breathe easy again

I spoke to my mom this morning. She sounded tired and said she was in pain but I was just happy to hear her voice again. She should be there for a few days then home on bed rest for around 6 weeks. A friend of ours was there with her keeping her company since my dad and sister are at work and school. That is what I love the most about our group of friends. No matter what, someone is going to be there. And we would do the same, and have, for them. I miss that. But I have a great group of friends at school as well, so it's blessings all around. I'm trying to figure out a weekend that I can go home to see my mom in the next six weeks but not getting my hopes up. Right now the priority is to work as much as I can and start the new semester off on the right foot.

Another reason I am breathing easy again is I finally got my car to a repair shop and now have a rental car. It's amazing what a simple vehicle can do for one's sense of self and independence. I just hope my car gets back to me fast so life can go back to normal. The repair shop gave me an estimate of around a week to a week and a half but I hope that it goes as fast as possible, while still doing a good job. This experience has made me never, ever want to be in another accident again. It's much too stressful.

Also, it's been raining pretty steadily for the last 48 hours. It's stopped for now but this morning around 5 am I woke up to thunder and a flash of lightning. Most people would hate this. I'm strange and I absolutely love, love, love thunderstorms. It's almost a comfort to me. I fell right back asleep to the sound of rumbling and rain pouring down. My best friend is the exact opposite. Once, when I was visiting her, there was a thunderstorm and the next thing I know she's on the airbed with me shaking like crazy. I guess that's why we're best friends.....we're completely opposite in some ways. Ok well that's all for now. Mom's ok, car is getting better and we're getting much needed rain. Bring on the new semester.
