Today has been a long ass day and its not even over yet. I went down to DSHS trying to get on the grant so I can get the counseling done so that I may move on with all that I am about to do. I got there at 11, was asked if I wanted to be put on stand-by so I was like sure... Well 11 turned into 3:15 and I was nerve racked just sitting there for so many hours that I went back up to the desk and asked how many ahead of many, when she said 6 scheduled and 3 walk ins, I was like would it be better to get an appt, so I got one set up for next week, HOPEFULLY they won't make me take those stupid psych tests again, since I just took them last month. Also THANK GOD I decided to take a book with me....I must have read about 100 pages during my time waiting.
Speaking of books, I am gonna try to pick back up on reading more. I have started reading before I go to sleep, and maybe this will get me more interested in something I used to love to do. The book I am reading now is a true crime book, and the details in it are horrific, but it is the type of stuff I have always been interested in. They also have books here by the authors I used to love, Dean Koontz, Mary Higgins Clarke and Patricia Cornwell.
I do obviously have access to fubar, the pc room here is right next to my bedroom, but they do lock it up at night, thank goodness...lol I don't sit in here all hours like I would if I were at my moms. I try to do the socializing with the *real* people, not that I always like it, but I know it has to be done.
I was really glad to be told that when I am ready to move out of here, they dont leave me high and dry to jump into a place with nothing, I was told they do help you with getting the things you need for an apt and of course by then I should have the tools I need to be able to never end up in a situation like this again.
My first two weeks here are gonna be pretty relaxed, trying to get settled in and stuff, while at the same time I am trying to get acquainted with everyone, and my sorry ass still dont remember all the names but hey that will come.
Today I choose to be positive although it was a long day! As well as I choose to eat like a pig at dinner cuz we are having homeade enchiladas...
Love you all....
