Well, it's oki... For now

Now now,

Mom failed real estate test. That means she will have to retake it. She has a week to sharpen her skills. If she passes on the retake, that is wonderful, if not... That's another story.

Money is tight tight tight. What used to be late bills, are now notices of disconnection. We got a temporary handle on things, that will last about 2 weeks. After that, things will start getting tight, and things will go badly bad.

Mom will start working if she fails the test again, and take the night classes so she can try the test again. In the meantime, things just get scary moment by moment.

There are other variables that can go well, but they are time delayed things, that can suddenly become a "not this month, but next month, or after" thing.

I'm just crossing my fingers, and that's about all I can do.
