I'll be hanging out with family for the next 5 days. Things like this have gotten so rare. Grateful to have this in my life right now.

I have now received my car accident settlement $.

2 of 3 complete :)

At the moment I don't have the energy to fully explain the car accident and everything that happened afterwards, so I will provide a very very basic summary below:

In June of 2023, I was hit by another driver (T-boned) as I was going about 40 mph on a main street. The other driver was 100% at fault, and thankfully admitted fault. My car ended up being totaled, and I suffered a permanent neck injury (torn ligaments). I had to spend just about all of my personal life savings to buy another car. I also suffered a concussion from the accident and my memory, mostly short term memory, has been far worse ever since. I ended up hiring an attorney, and she won a settlement for me. 1.5 years later, I finally have that money in my bank account and I can move on with my life.

If I could have my health back, I would choose that in a heartbeat over the settlement $ I received. That being said, getting my health back is impossible, so doing my best to focus on making the most out of my inevitable situation, I am happy to have received some financial relief as a result of all this.

I am hoping to put these funds towards buying a home for myself in the near future. I am not sure how realistic that is at this point, but in February I will be receiving a raise at work, and once I receive that raise I think I will be able to plan for the long-term (and near future) much better than I am able to now.

So many things to think about and consider for the future...but for now I'm just happy to be financially stable and not stress about having enough $ to pay rent each month. That's a huge win for me :)

Life is about to become far more mentally comfortable and less stressful for me. I am very grateful for that.

Waiting.

A promotion & raise at work

All are in process. Stability is almost here.
