Still waiting

Well, it's been weeks since I blogged last and I have kept waiting to see if I'd have great news about Danielle and the group home, but no...still haven't gotten that straight. I'm in the process of doing all the paperwork again and it seems like they are making it as hard as possible. I just really think this would be the best possible thing that could happen, so it's frustrating. Everything I do after this will be dependent on what happens with Danielle...and I can't do anything until it's solved. Really is making me crazy! Looked at a couple houses in Williamsburg, townhouses to rent or to buy, and also up nearer to Richmond which would make things much easier for me. Well, we'll see what happens once I finally have the time to get everything sent in.

I'm off to get some ice cream with Danielle while I have a few minutes before they call me to work. I have been working alot...very physically demanding jobs and am in great pain. *L* I'm glad that it was my last night having to work that job last night and really truly hope I get an easy job tonight, and maybe that I'll even get to sleep a little more before they call me tonight! That would be great!!! Well, more news to come later but ice cream is calling us now.

It's August already???

I cannot believe that it is already Aug 2008! Where does the time go! I have been living in Claremont for a whole year! Amazing how long transition times can go on when you still have no idea what you should do. I'm thankful that I have such wonderful friends and had the opportunity to have this year to figure out what I'm going to do. Things are still up in the air for a little longer but soon I will decide and take my first steps toward home ownership! There is a new group home opening up in Williamsburg this month and it's very nice! The woman who will be the primary caregiver is very nice, and the set up and location would be perfect for Danie. I went to visit and get the tour last week now we are just waiting to see if Danie can get in there. Has to do with legalities, lables and stuff like that, but it would be a great start for us both if it works out. Danie hasn't seen it, because it's bad enough when I get my hopes up...no need for her to be disappointed too, so we'll wait and see what they say on Aug 10th. If she gets in there then I will be looking to buy a house closer to Richmond for work. There are less expensive areas to buy than Williamsburg and I wouldn't need to live there if Danie isn't with me. If she is staying with me then my options are to look for a townhouse, or rent for a year with the option to buy a beautiful house in Williamsburg. It's more expensive than I'd like, but it's a great house in an older, safe, and friendly neighborhood. Well, I've gone on and on without actually saying anything and now I'm feeling like I'd better get off the computer and get to work. I marked off sick last night because although I had just worked from 12:35AM to 11:00AM, they would have called me again last night to go to Rocky Mount. My brother and his wife were here in VA because they drove my daughter and my nieces' sons back home after letting them vacation with them all last month in NH, and we all decided to go to Busch Gardens to hear the Charlie Daniel's Band play. It was well worth it, but I also have to get a million things done today while I have the chance. Can't mark off sick often but sometimes it can't be helped.
Still can't believe it Aug of 2008 though!!!
