So, our big move is in less than two
weeks!! We are moving on Valentine's Day. The initial duplex we
looked at ended up getting rented right after we looked at it. We
didn't have the money at the time to put down a deposit, so I was
bummed. But...I'm glad it happened because we found a place that we
like even better! There is a garage and an upstairs & downstairs.
Dakota will have the downstairs with his own bathroom, so he is
excited about that. The master bedroom upstairs also has its own
bathroom. And then there is a 3rd “regular” bathroom
that we call “Mikayla's bathroom” so she feels like she has a
perk too. I'm excited that the place is carpeted. I hate the
hardwoods we have now (or I guess I should call it the fake hardwood
look). It looks nice, and I know that a lot of people like it...but
it's just not homey looking to me. And it hurts my feet. And is cold.
And shows every crumb on the floor.
The duplex is in a good location and
the school district that it is in is brand new. It looks like there
are several Autism specialists that work there with different grades.
The elementary school goes up to 6th grade, so both kids
can go to the same school for awhile. I think that will make both
kids feel better, getting to be in the same building. Tomorrow, I
have an appointment with the school to take the kids down there to
tour it, meet the teachers, and do the paperwork to get them signed
up. I wish John could go with me. I don't normally drive out of town
anymore because of my tiredness. But I will pull over every 10
minutes if I have to and get out so the cold weather can wake me up.
John's new job is going good so far! He
started a week ago. The department he is in stays pretty busy though
and he doesn't always get off on time. He is on salary now, so he
doesn't get paid overtime. John heard that before they hired him and
another guy, they were working 70 hour weeks. I hope they don't get
to that point again. It will help when we get moved to St. Joe and he
won't have all that driving time in the mornings and evenings.
The most recent update on my health
stuff is that I have high insulin levels so the doctor started me on
Metformin, which is an antidiabetic medication. Also, I still have
not started back on my lyme treatments. I saw the doctor last month,
and the insurance company was having issues with one of the meds that
he wants me to start on. It's called Quinine, and is actually for
Malaria... but it can also be used to kill other parasites that get
into your body from tick bites. The insurance won't cover it for that
though, so my doctor told me to order it from a place in Canada. It
only cost me twenty-something dollars. It would have cost a lot more
to pay for it out-of-pocket at a local pharmacy. I haven't received
it yet, but hopefully I will soon and hopefully I'll start feeling
better again.
