Latest News

It's been a while from my latest life update, so decided to write something... Maybe 5 years from now I'll look back and smile at it all...

ABOUT NEW HOUSING
Well, the latest threat in our lives was an eviction notice. We had no means to pay the rent, the temporary rent assistance ended without us knowing it, and the landlord sent us a notice... We worked the system, giving our real proof of our efforts to find housing and a job and so the rent was paid in the end... We also got emergency assistance for moving to a more affordable place. We got help from the NCC, so finally we are now in housing that is income sensitive. The good news is we have a roof over our heads. One less stress about that... The bad news, public housing is rough and we've had some incidents in just days of being here... All in all, we try to keep ourselves positive and see this as the emergency measures until we can complete our master plan.

ABOUT SCHOOL
The move was not foreseen, so that unexpected event has kept me away from books for 3 weeks. Hopefully things will go well, and I can start and finish the Leadership course so I'm left only with the computer one after the C-section. Just 1.5 weeks to get to this goal... wish me luck!

ABOUT NEW BABY
C-section is scheduled for the 23rd of June. Clinic watching me closely. Will have to go to L&D tomorrow after the NST and OB-GYN appointment, to humor everyone and make sure it is safe to actually be at home. I feel very tired, and i know Kali wants out! This is my 36th week... Legs are getting very swollen, and the waddling walk is killing me. Just 16 more days...

EPILOGUE
So, May was very unnerving, action-packed, and filled with suspense and drama. Hope that June gets everything flowing and that everything gets to its right place... Hope that Kali will bring many good things to our lives, especially to Deedee. Let's see how this tale ends...
