Aspie chick with a wild streak

Well, this is it! Today is the last day of January. Here when it was the first day of the month, I wondered how I was going to get through this month, since it's the most boring month of the year. But here we are. We finally made it. I know that until we can move back out of Palmyra and come back to Waukesha or at least the county, I really shouldn't be wishing the year away, in case we do have to stay put out here, for the rest of the year until next spring, should they come up with a place we can move to by then. Because we are still going to have to live out here for at least a large majority of the year, if not for the rest of the year. There still might be that 25% chance we might be able to move back into Waukesha, depending on the waiting list we're on, and depending on one of us if not both of us is able to get a job.  So the question is, what's to look forward to, this year? Hopefully this year should be more interesting than this month. I know that as of tomo...

Finally as of today, this month is almost over. I know I need to quit fixating on moving back into Waukesha, and I need a good distraction until further notice. I mean maybe we still can move back, this year, before Christmas time. At least with February coming up this week, we'll be half way through our year long lease. I do hope that we can move up on the waiting list that we're on for scattered low income housing and not down. They did say to check back in March to see where we were at on the waiting list. But like I said, at least we'll be half way through our lease, come February. Maybe on Thursday I should just listen to the song, "Living on a Prayer" a few times. Some other good things about February is that it's the shortest month of the year, and it's the last month of the year for it to be winter before spring begins. And once Valeninte's Day comes and goes, the month will already be half way through.

Ok, after thinking about what I was told from Waukesha Housing Authorities, they basically said they couldn't help me until at least a year after submitting that application. So basically, we'll have to stay put in Palmyra for another year. Or at least for the rest of this year, unless we're told we can move back into Waukesha and get situated at the end of this year. So basically, we might be able to move back into Waukesha in time for Christmas. But if that's the case, that still means we'll be able to move out of here, next winter. As much as I would like to move back into Waukesha and out of Palmyra for good, I personally think moving in the winter time is kinda icky. Maybe it's fair to say that yes, we'll have to live in Palmyra for a year, but we won't have to live in Palmyra for 2 years. So it's fair to say our chances of moving back into Waukesha this year have been lowered to 25%. Otherwise we're stuck here until winter of next year, whi...

 I have too many issues when it comes to getting a job doing something. At the same time my parents are putting all this pressure on me to get a job that pays well, all because they want me to get off social security. But I wish they would just forget about it and accept the fact that I just can't do it. The reason I don't have a job and can't get a job is because I can't do the work. I have too many issues associated with past trauma, I can't move my hands fast enough, I can't control my emotions at work, I can't deal with people and I can't do anything hands on. And nobody at work will want to accommodate for me. And I can't work for too many hours at a time because I stress out too easily. And my asshole parents just can't accept that I can't do it. So I may as well just give up and live on social security until I die.  Maybe there is a job that's perfect for me and it's waiting for me up in heaven. And when I die, it'll be up ...

Today I called the Waukesha Waiting Authorities in regards to the waiting list. Good news is my boyfriend and I are on it. Bad news is getting placed may take a year from the time I applied. So it looks like chances of being able to move back into Waukesha this year just went from a 50% to a 0%. Unless we end up staying here a little longer after our year lease is up, and get to move back into Waukesha, in time for Christmas. So I guess that may reduce our chances of moving back to maybe a 25%. But we may have to stay put for another year. But they did say to check back in another coulple of months to find out what's going on. Maybe there's still a way we can move back, and the only way is if one of us is working if not both of us.

Well, as of today, we are snowed it! Yesterday it definitely felt like spring, although it was raining. Then it got foggy. Then we had it thunderstorm in January. That's a first. I'd rather have it thunderstorm than snow storm. But it did snow over night. I will admit it's pretty out today, but it's a good day to stay inside, other wise. I know today it's only supposed to be in the 30's. Tomorrow it's going to be in the upper 20's, but after that it's going to warm up again after tomorrow. Seeing snow on the branches definitely looks pretty. Today I also saw some kids outside playing in the snow. I wouldn't be surprised if kids were out due to it being a snow day. Because  Jason and I live by a school, I especially wouldn't be too surprised. I looked outside earlier, and there were huge dunes of snow right by the school. But I'll bet by the end of this week, most of it should be gone. Come Friday this week, it's supposed to be near 50...

Just thought I'd update my blog. So these last few days this week have had their ups and downs. Last Wednesday I got another check in the mail. Not sure what for, and got to deposit that. I also got an email letting me know that I was set for the autism conference this year. Now I just have to get reservations so that we can stay at least 1 night at the Kalahari Resort. On Thursday it was warmer than what it had been that whole week, but it took all day for temperatures to get up into the 30's. And then the weekend it was in the high 30s' and 40's. Friday I got to go to my first job interview with some help through Easter Seals which I see as a step towards getting a job. Let's hope something works out. And last night when I checked the mail, I got something from social security, just letting me know that thank God, I'm not in any trouble. It was just letting me know that there was going to be a 26.00 increase in my balance for the beginning of this month. Also,...

Wow! I can not believe how fast this week has gone by, already. I think these last couple have days went by so fast, and now it's a Tuesday night. And tomorrow, we'll already be half way through this week. At least after this week is over, we'll only have one whole week of this month left with just 4 days of the whole month remaining. Of course with it being January, it's still the beginning of the year, and at this point, anything can happen. Anyway, there's more good news for Jason and myself. Today he called to get hooked up with Medicaid so he'd have insurance for all his medications. But according to them, he would have to be working at least once a month just to get the insurance. Luckily, one of his friends agreed to let Jason work for him. If that's what it takes for him to get Medicaid, so be it. But in a way, it's great news for Jason. It gives him an opportunity to go back to work and it gives him something to do while he's waiting to retu...

This might end up being a good week. Yesterday at the beginning of the week, I took my car over by my parent's and got air filled in the car tires. And I think my dad may have saved me 20.00 for gas for this week, which means, I might not need to put gas in the car for this week. And besides, we only have this whole week and one last whole week of this month, after this week with a remainder of only 4 days. Today I got a call to come into Waukesha to pick up a form I had dropped off last Friday at the Health and Human services. So that was quick. And it was a nice drive from Palmyra into Waukesha, although the distance between Palmyra and Waukesha is a pain in the ass in the winter. Although it might be snowing here and it was snowing hard in Eagle, when I got further into Mukwonago and Waukesha it wasn't snowing at all. So, I'm hoping this is the final hoop I have to go through just to keep my license to drive; now that my having a condition has gotten the state's atte...

Ok, maybe originally we were supposed to be going to Minnesota, this weekend. But due to weather being bad this weekend, we're going to hold off until next weekend. It's probably just as well. We just took our cat to the vet for his final distemper and rabies vaccination, and found out he had an ear infection. So we have to give him ear drops twice a day for a week. Hopefully by the time we go out of town, he should be all better. At least I can say it was nice having that heat wave with temperatures being above freezing when it lasted. I survived my first week of running again. For now, I'm going to run 4 times a week and swimming at the gym. Then eventually I'll start running and swimming 5 times a week, and then maybe 6. I just hope that there's no repeat of what happened last year when I got those nasty kidney stones which had me side lined and it ruined my summer. On one hand I know I shouldn't be wishing the winter away too much because next to running aga...

When the time comes to move out of Palmyra, granted we have somewhere to move to in Waukesha which is nicer than where we are now, I'm not going to miss where we're living, right now. And I'll truly look forward to the day that we move out of here, for good. It's just been so depressing living out here, lately. Maybe it's just because it's winter time.Not only that. We have a kitchen sink that has a tendency to be leaky, we have cabinet doors that are falling off, and we have closet doors that are just messed up. I know that if I want to move to somewhere nicer than where we are now, I may have to focus on the steps I'd need to be able to live there.  That means I'm going to have to get a job. And hopefully, I might be getting one soon.

So, December of 2017, I hear that my aunt wants to have a family get together this month, as of this next weekend. And Jason was also invited to come along. Luckily when I asked him, he said he'd be up for it. I'm so glad he agreed to do this since he had been wanting to take some kind of mini vacation in the last 2 months but didn't have money for it. So this would be a good opportunity for us to just get away from it all, even if we're just visiting people on my mom's side of the family This will give us a change of scenery. Luckily, we got someone to take care of our cat, while we're gone. So, it all worked out.

So what's happened so far, this year: 1. At the start of the year, got $500.00 to deposit into my account so that I have more money for the month to help me just get by. 2. 3 days later I got my new debit card in the mail 3. Might be getting a new job in Waukesha, real soon. (hope this one works out a lot better than my last one) 4. Days are getting longer and lighter out after 5pm. (of course you don't really notice it more until after the first 7 to 9 days of the month) 5. After this week and last week of temperatures being below 20 degrees outside, we're finally going to have a bit of a "January thaw out". Basically what's going to happen is after this week, temperatures are going to get back into the 20's and 30's. I can live with winter weather being in the 20's and 30's, but anything under 20 is too cold! 6. We've been invited to Minnesota to see some relatives. (Sure hope Jason can go, and that we can find someone to take car...

Well, let's see what there is to look forward to in January. In January, days get longer, although you don't really notice it until maybe after the first 7 to 9 days. Also after this week of January with temperatures only being below 20 degrees, temperatures next week are going to get back up into the 20's and the 30's. And days are getting much longer and it's also getting much lighter out after 5pm, longer. I know I shouldn't keep pushing it because there's still that 50% chance we may have to stay in Palmyra for another year but I just came up with another reason why I'm not going to miss where we are, should we move back into Waukesha this year. We've got pipes that leak in the kitchen sink, causing a mess everywhere, every time one of us washes dishes. And we've got cabinet doors falling off, and we've got sliding doors that are acting all messed up. This is just another reason for me to want to move into Waukesha when our lease is up. I...

Well here we are. It's a new year. 2018. This morning Jason and I were talking about the things we wanted to do this year. Jason said he wanted for us to move back into Waukesha, this year, go to Noah's Ark water park in the Wisconsin Dells or take some kind of mini vacation. He said he also wanted to propose to me this year. I think this sounds good. Hopefully this year will be better after a disappointing year we had in 2017. At least we got to move in together this last year. Anyway, things maybe looking up. Today we went over by my parents and we each got a check for $500.00. So I think getting that kind of money at the beginning of the month of a new year is a good way to start the year. Tomorrow I'm going to deposit the check so my balance goes up into the 4 digit numbers range. Then I'll have more money to pay for whatever it is I need for this month. And hopefully I might be more likely to save more money after everything I need to have paid for this month is pa...
