transferring
so i decided to go with the movers to move us. i have a LOT of shit to go thru. a LOT. in a month. i have to give a 30 day notice to my landlord, and see if i can retract it in case they change his date. i have to go thru tons of shit in our bedroom, aka, storage room. pack things to keep at my parents' house - theyre keeping things for storage. call the housing office and see about getting on the astronomical waiting list, or if the leprechauns smile on us - get into housing bwahahahaahaaaaaaa, yah, at E3 that's not gonna happen most likely. but dont hurt to try. go thru papers and books and clothes and my god, why am i on lj and facebook when i really should be doing this lol. i'm sure it's gonna be Mayflower as theyre the only ones in town, unless the Navy brings some up from Louisville.
thank you,
military one source. i love you now.
i wish i could have some sort of yard sale or whatever before we go. i'd hate to donate this stuff to the Salvation Army or Good Will here, because the workers take whatever they want for free and whatever they dont want, put on the shelves. but who knows. i may do that, cuz some of the stuff i dont wanna throw away, i'd rather SOMEONE use it.
how the hell did i do this for 16 years of my life? well, i started packing my own stuff when i was 5, but still. guess cuz it felt normal.
it'd be sooo nice to get into housing. it would. i read somewhere they were making E4 and below housing in Norfolk. i'm hoping it's true. but i'm still looking online for apartments in Norfolk. i'm calling the housing office tomorrow.
i also have to go to my high school to get a transcript, and try to make it up to Bloomington to get my IU transcript too.
Tristan
Tristan's therapist, Miss Kara, comes again tomorrow. my god he really likes her. and he's using the sign for "hungry" and saying "unnn," and the sign for "eat" and saying "eat" only it sounds like when you say it without the "T" on the end. i think teaching him to talk more this way is easier, mainly because otherwise he's all over the place whereas if my hands or fingers are moving too, along with saying the word, he's got something to focus on while i'm saying the word, rather than me following him around trying to get him to say it.
i cant wait to take him to the ocean. he LOVES water. he LOVES dipping his toes into the Ohio River here, so i cant imagine him with the ocean. gonna make sure he knows how to swim. i dont. i hate water. i hate deep water that's dark and you cant see the bottom of. gives me shivers just thinking about it.
