i haven’t had a chance to write lately but i’ll try to fill in some blanks here.

-we got a new stove thanks to someone my brother did some work for. its really nice and has a glass top and heats up super fast! our old stove was the original one that came with the place and it was slowly dying. we only had 1 working eye and no oven! now we have 3 out of 4 eyes and a working oven one of the eyes on this stove would not turn off so we had the person installing it for us disconnect the wiring to that eye. the rest of it works great.

- my brother was in a small accident while bringing us the oven. he’s ok but mom’s car is wrecked. we’re not sure if it can be saved either. the brakes failed and he hit a pretty large pickup truck and it crushed the front end of mom’s pathfinder. she mentioned last night that they were saying it would cost somewhere around 1k to fix, and that’s just out of the question. we’ll probably just have to find another vehicle for her.

- mom got approved for medicaid! this is a big step. she’s been putting off going to her doctor visits because she didn’t have medicaid but now she has no reason not to go. she’s not so ill that she needs First Alert or anything like that, but i would feel better if she would go to regular checkups and make sure her sugar is ok.

that’s about all that’s been happening recently. not very eventful. the stove was probably the most excitement we’ve had in a while.
