You Gotta Go There To Come Back

today is the best day. my dad came home with almond roca (finally). his friend's wife makes it and its absolutely delicious.

and thennnn, i got my settlement check from a wreck i was in over a year ago with my sister. all i had was a neck sprain, i think thats what my doctor said. but i got 500 dollars for it. i dont think my injury was worth more than like 10 dollars but im not complaining. i really need this money. and its just lovely to get it during the christmas season. i wasnt expecting to get it for a few more years, mostly because i kept getting letters saying the other three parties havent sent in their claims and the statute of limitations or something is two years from the date of the accident, except for minors, who have two years after their 18th birthday. and one of the other people was a minor so i figured i wouldnt see the money for a long time. and like last week i got a letter saying that they still hadnt sent in their claims so i definitely wasnt expecting it. im so happy.
