So it is now official, Jon will be moving in with us at the end of February. I'm so excited and happy and scared and nervous, even though I shouldn't really be. We've done two stints of him being here for two weeks at a time and things went really well. Garret responded exceedingly well this last time and his attitude and obediance were beyond what they have ever been so it's a really good thing. He just seems to respond so well to having a male here constantly and Jon is really good at challenging him to do things and keeping him on track and he is such a strong personality that Garret rarely challenges him at all. If he does then Jon just gives him the dissapointed speech or look and Garret melts because he really wants to please him and so then he tries really hard to do better. It's the male bonding stuff that I didn't know how to do, the strength that he needs that I wasn't emulating correctly and Jon has exceeding control of his temper and almost never ending patience and mine has been on a short fuse lately so sharing the responsibility and just having someone here to talk to will really help a lot. We got some stuff to do to get ready, mostly just moving stuff around to make space to store all his stuff and giving him a space that will be just his own for his quiet time but other than that, we are going to work on cleaning up and organizing and sorting and throwing stuff out and selling stuff together after he gets here. He is really good at getting things done and he's also very persistent about me getting my homework done and not procrastinating or getting distracted with other stuff. When I am up against a deadline, he basically locks me in the room and takes charge of Garret and brings me food and coffee and makes sure that I get done what is needed. And this past weekend we also talked about getting married sometime in the future and having another baby. Both he and I have always wanted another and if I can somehow get my health in a good way and get down to under 200 lbs or more, that's about 50 lbs right now, then hopefully we can talk about that more seriously but also in the picture is that we both have to get our finances in order and deffinately save a little money. I'm not worried about insurance too much, although it would be nice to have right now but hopefully I'll be picked from the waiting list for state coverage sometime in the next year or so and then I can get some stuff taken care of. I'm doing ok right now. My women's health is covered by a grant program and if I can keep the stress levels down then I can self deal with the anxiety and depression pretty good, although it would be nice not to have to worry all the time if I'm going to be able to make it through the next episode or not, not to mention I need to get another inhaler, but a regular over the counter one is about $60 and I seriously don't have the funds to just go blow it on something like that. It just means that I have to be careful and take breaks and not push myself too hard. The headaches have been a lot less lately, though at times I still get a bad one but I'm learning to catch them earlier and have been varying the meds I take to see what combinations work the best. My back has been out the last few days and if I sit for extended periods of time, my legs are asleep when I stand up. It's not painful, just uncomfortable. But the actual back pain is getting worse. I seriously need to see a chiropractor, but even the one my mom goes to charges like $45 a session for cash patients and I'm so in debt right now that that isn't even possible. I'm hoping that things will get better financially soon, that I will be able to cut some spending down and economize with Jon's help. It's a big part of my stress right now. Anyways, class is done as of tonight and I have two weeks off to cruch and get everything done I can for Jon's move before class starts up again. But tonight is my free night, it's movie time by myself, maybe a little bit of Ben and Jerry, maybe a smirnoff and working some more on the new blanket I started. Ta Ta for now!!! |
