I'm coming down the home stretch! Or sliding in to home ... or she could go alllll the way. Whichever term you're more familiar with
One way or another the house will no longer be my responsibility as of Aug 7. Moment of sadness and then HURRAY! I am finally moving. I've looked at a coupel of options that have come up but recognised that one place would make life more inconvenient and the other would be sharing a home with an alcoholic, in recovery, as a roommate only ... but I am not comfortable with it at this time. So out to Mom's I go, not the best situation but it will be ok and I am grateful to have the option. If it works well that will be great, if it adds strain to an already testy relationship between my Mom and stepDad then I run as fast as possible.
Rest of my life mostly consists of doctor appointments still, and working with governmant agencies to get the help I need learning to live with my vision impairment and going forward with school etc. No firm plans yet, the simplest question sometimes takes weeks to get an answer to. A new lesson in patience.
All in all, everything is moving along as fast and as good as I can help it.
My monster boy is STILL growing!! He outweighs me now, is taller when we are both sitting ... I thought it was amazing to not have to bend over to pet a dog now I am amazed to not have to stretch my arm at all. And he has learned to dance with me we bow to each other, straighten up and then spin in circles .... my arms in the air, his tail flying high. I don't quite understand why he does not get dizzy like I do but it's nice and makes me laugh.
