A Little Update

So I got my hand fixed.  Two pins in my fifth metacarpal on my right hand, and everything down to my elbow in a cast until October fourth.  Yes, I probably could've blogged about this sooner, but as it's my right hand that's hurt, I held off.  I probably won't be blogging much in the next 22 days until the cast is off (yes, I'm counting).  I'm actually getting pretty good at typing with just my left hand... it just gets uncomfortable doing it for a long time.

So given that my right hand is no good for awhile yet, my job hunt is on hold.  I applied at between 10 and 15 places before the drama went down, and never heard back from any of them... so an unsuccessful hunt remains unsuccessful.

And like I feared after everything happened, Aden's dad is VERY hesitant to let me be around much until I get "help".  He thinks I actually need to go stay in a hospital in order to be healthy.  No, I don't think I can go without help at this point... I'm actually going to my doctor on Tuesday to talk to him about the possibility of anti-depressants -- something I've avoided for years.  I know things aren't going to get any better for me if I don't at least talk to someone about everything.  Trying to control things myself only got me a fractured hand.

As for my friends, things are actually okay.  After all the not-so-nice words that were exchanged, it turns out Carly and Luis weren't quite ready to forget about us and our friendship.  So the friendships worth saving were saved, and the ones that were easy to erase were erased.  Now, things are much more okay around here.

Of course Richard still thinks I should move, but he knows I can't until I'm working, and he knows I can't work until my cast comes off, so he's not trying to force me out before I'm ready.  I love it here, more than anywhere, but if it's in our best interest that I leave, I will.

My life constantly seems like earthquake after earthquake... and I'm just looking forward to the day all that slows down a little bit and things can be a little more stable for me.  I don't see that anytime soon, but I know I'll get there eventually.
