Hi Everyone, I wanted to write to tell you that my life has improved a lot since I last wrote that I was in despair.  I have moved into a new extended stay hotel that is in a better part of the city, it is much cleaner and has nicer accommodations.   My son is doing well and school is nearly out - at the end of this week.

I have made a big change as well, I decided to go back to school so I am attending the University of Phoenix online.  I was able to get a student loan and a Pell Grant (for helping with living expenses) from the government.  I have decided to get a degree in Criminal Justice.  And I got a part-time job at a local movie store.  I love going to school online, and since I am A.D.D. it allows me to take my time and reread information when I need to, and I love the writing part of it as I have always been better at writing something than explaining something in person.  

I just wanted to post an update and let you all know I was doing okay!  Thanks for being there for me in my darkest hour.  I really needed your encouragement, it helped me survive when I was really down.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!
