Today is moving day! But it is going differently than planned. I won’t bore you with the particulars, but basically I just couldn’t afford the rental to go up to my brother's and back, plus a day to help move here, and still have enough left to make it till the next influx of funds. This turned out to be fortuitous, as it is pouring rain and negotiating a huge van alone up California and back during the rain would be truly asking for trouble. With a dog to boot, who will be very happy to have his Dad back but no doubt nervous about a huge change in his life again.
And, yesterday I had to rush X to the dentist for a tooth abscess. A tooth must be extracted on Thursday, and this a raised a entire set of financial challenges at the worst time.
What can you do but handle these things Family is family, and X is part of my family, by dint of the bonds of evidently indissoluble friendship.
Augmentin willing, his infection will subside as well as the pain (a little Vicodin in the rain never killed anyone). We have quite a day ahead, getting things we do have into the apartment. Anybody with a truck out there who can help out with moving a single bed and a couch today or tomorrow, do let me know. (323.627.2585).
It’s all good. Home sweet home harkens. (If anyone wants my new address, please write me for it. I'd rather not post it).
