Changes


 It has been a while since I've updated on here. My husband an I are getting a divorce. I don't really care to go into details. Just know it's for the best. On top of this divorce business, we were evicted from the apartment in Gresham. First I was staying with my friend and her family. I'll just call her Sarin. It was too hectic, stressful, and just not a good fit for Michelle and I. So now we've relocated. We're still in Portland. I'm just staying with some dear friends. Right now it's the best fit I could have wished for.
 While I was staying with Sarin I was in a program called Project Enterprise. Then I thought I got rehired on by FedEx. However, they've just opened this new hub on Monday and the HR lady was in charge of a mass hire and screwed things up big time. I am pretty devastated by it because I was certain I had a job. But I have good friends and a roof over my head so I am thankful. I am keeping hopeful. As a result of this mishap however I am now in an strange spot. I have to talk to my worker to get my TANF reinstated and I need to get back on the jobs program. I am trying to keep high hopes. My friends here are wonderful. There is rarely yelling. This has calmed me down significantly. While the neighborhood is not the best, home is what you make it. I feel like a gypsy in a sense. My room right now is a living room. The partitions for my room are tie-dyed tapestries. There are Tibetan flags hanging from the patio at the head of my bed. I miss my cat dearly. However, right now I hope he's in a safe spot. He's also in transition. He was to stay with my sister for a few weeks. He disappeared and then reappeared in Trina's trailer court. My mother had said she was going to take him but now she is changing her story. So that concerns me. I will have to call my sister tomorrow and give her a call to tell her I am working on getting a leash and collar for Neko. Anyways, Michelle is taking the transition hard. She's acting out more. I think it could also be because Sarin's boys are not well behaved and disciplined so Michelle was picking up on that. She's extra clingy. I don't generally mind it unless it's when I'm asleep and there all of a sudden is a cold foot pressing against me.
 The current agenda involves finding a job, paying off the landlord, saving up money, getting divorced, and getting custodial custody of Michelle. Kyle is like Jekyll and Hyde the majority of the time. I don't know really what to expect from him. Elskie had spoke of renting a house with me and my other chum once the lease here is up in November. Boy that would be nice. :)
