Job is still going well. I’m feeling a little inadequate because I keep forgetting to do simple things like put the wheelchair pummel up or buckle a buckle on her harness. Friday I put her shoes on the wrong feet! I felt so foolish. But I’m still learning and her wheelchair is rather complicated so it’s not that strange that it would take me awhile to learn how it works. Everything else is great so I am getting a confidence boost that I can actually work full time as long as I have the right low stress job.

Money is going to be tight though. This job pays waaaaay less than teaching. I won’t be able to save any money. I definitely won’t be able to move out. But at least I can work. I just need to make a few adjustments on how I live. Quitting smoking would be a big one. I’m a pack a day smoker so that’s $9 a day that I’m spending. I need to stop eating out as much too. I’m going to buy McDonald’s tonight because I forgot to put the chicken in the crock pot but I’m going to write myself a note and stick it on my coffee maker to remember tomorrow.

It’s going to be so nice out tomorrow and Thursday. 70 and sunny. I’m looking forward to it. I hate the cold and I’d like this little blast of fall before winter sets in.

Also, I met the guy I’ve been talking to. I met him last week. We met outside my house lol because I couldn’t go out. It was nice. I think I’ll have fun with him. I don’t know if it will develop into anything serious but it’ll be nice for awhile.
