I am feeling a little overwhelmed. Because of the car accident yesterday I wasn't able to go out and buy my mom a birthday present. Today is her birthday and I am not prepared at all. Because of yesterday's interruption. I'm like yikes. I feel so bad. But to be honest, I sincerely forgot. I have an impaired memory. If I had remembered some days ago, I would have gotten something when I was out. I also have a LOT going on in my life. I'm trying to figure out how I can still go out to get at least something for her. Not driving and being in the middle of nowhere without public transportation is always a struggle for me. To pay for a taxi would be over $30. And I don't have the money. My dad will do things but it's always on his time and later. Because his main focus every day is doing work. He's not employed, he's retired. but he prioritizes working around the house/yard over everything else. I often wait several hours just to go someplace.

Those times I've been like, "I need to go to the ER." And he is like, "Can it wait until after I mow the lawn?" or "I have things to do, can we do it later?" And I'm always like, "....No? If I'm going to the ER that means it's an emergency. I kind of need to go now." Anyway, we'll see if I get to go out today. If not, I'll just accept that it is what it is. Maybe order something online and tell her it will be a late gift.
