Hi everyone,

 

Since I last posted not a lot has changed for me.  Still living in extended stay hotel, no car, and no job.  I am getting child support so that helps us survive.

 

But someone in the family (actually an ex-inlaw) is going to help move my son and I into a nicer (extended stay) hotel next week probably.  It will at least be near public transportation and a grocery store.  And I should be able to find a job fairly soon after we move, at least I am keeping my fingers crossed.  We do live in an area where there are a lot of jobs - believe it or not.  :o)

 

Since I lost my car due to repossession right before Christmas I have basically been here at this lowly hotel day in and day out.  It really is starting to get to me.  I have not had my medications so that is not helping my depression any.  But I am hanging in there.  At least knowing that our (my child and I) living arrangements is going to improve helps me make it through each day.

 

My son is doing well in school, and is able to have transportation back and forth through the federal/state laws of leave no child behind.  At least we have that.

 

I myself has ADD and sometimes I just spend so much time by myself that I can almost go crazy.  I never have had very many friends; I have a couple here where I live but no family.

 

I really do appreciate reading posts on this site, from the staff and others.  It really does help to know that I am not alone in my quest to live with ADD and that others do actually understand how I feel.

 

More soon....

What great news! I hope that your move goes well and you enjoy your improved living area! And it is good that it will be in an area where you can get public transportation and won't feel so "stuck." I am sure it will be nice to be able to get around, go to the store and have a little more freedom and flexibility looking for a job.

 

Keep us posted on your move.
