Good News: I passed my exam. Bad News: My dad was in a car accident

For those of you paying attention, my output was down this month due in largely in part to me taking an IT course. Originally I had been scheduled to take my final exam last Saturday, but due to the hurricane it was rescheduled to this this Saturday. This after I put off drawing so that I could cram for the exam I thought I'd be having last Saturday.

Well I'm happy to say that I passed with a 94% Yay!

Now able to leave early, I drive over to subway to pick up some celebration subs. And afterwards when I'm still sitting in the parking lot I decide to give my mother a call because I knew she'd want to hear about her score.

I'm expecting her to pick up her phone from out of state, but instead she tells me that she's at the nearby hospital because that morning when my father was driving into town (as I was taking my test) he was cut off by another car speeding through the red light.

My dad survived with only a bruised shoulder and a crushed finger due to the airbag. I don't know what condition the other driver was in, but I can say was that he was an immigrant who didn't speak much English and the police had difficulty understanding what he was saying when he talked. Regardless, eye witness testimony corroborated that my dad had done nothing wrong and that all blame for the crash was to fall on speeder.

I made my way to the hospital just in time for my father's X-ray results to come back negative for any broken/fractured bones or internal bleeding. And my mother who had been calling insurance agencies for about 2 hours up to that point told me that insurance will cover the damages and medical bills. But the vehicle itself, his truck, was a total loss.

So about an hour later I was driving on some winding back road to find the junkyard where they'd towed my fathers truck. Even with GPS I got lost twice (my fault mostly for not updating the app). A lot of my fathers things were still left in the truck, so on an afternoon that should have had me getting drunk after passing my exam was spent combing through the wreckage of my dads truck for anything we could salvage.

One thing my dad was happy about though was that the set-top for his SirusXM radio was still intact. Yay!

Currently my day is lounging on his couch loaded up on percocets, and I'm just waking up after going home and passing out.

I finished that thing I was writing for Vouge and I'm currently giving it some last second edits. If you're reading this at the time that i post this you can expect it to be uploaded with a couple of hours.

Thankyou for reading.
