When we last left off, I was just about to get eye surgery to correct the severe strabismus in my left eye. I had the surgery and it was successful. There were only a couple things that happened that were a little concerning. The first one was that it took a while for me to come out of anesthesia because of my asthma so I had to be intubated.

When we last left off, I had been to Arkansas and I had two unexpected developments…

In January, I saw a pediatric ophthalmologist to address several issues I’ve had with my vision since I was a toddler and since I’m basically like that of a small child in a physical aspect on many things, a pediatric ophthalmologist was more appropriate. He looked ( Read more... )

I recently had Thanksgiving at my sister’s house in Sherwood, Arkansas and I got to meet several members of my dad’s side of the family for the first time in Arkansas and Louisiana. It felt so good to meet them and I can’t wait to go back there!!! I’d always known that I had a half-sister and extensive family in Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, ( Read more... )

When we last left off, I was in the midst of finding a new job and getting settled into the house…

Let’s start with the house. I got everything moved in and I already have to make a new major purchase(oh joy). My washer and dryer went kaput on me(which now explains why they were left here); I have several people looking for a used washer and dryer ( Read more... )

I’m in my new house!!! I closed on the house on July 24th and I moved in on August 12th. I love living in my own home! I was able to get into Harvey, North Dakota and I’m doing well in the community. I’ve made some friends and I found a church that is actually really welcoming towards those with disabilities. I have several ideas of what I want to ( Read more... )

When we last left off, I was pretty upset with everything, then came the unexpected changes. The first one was that Jake is getting out of the modern day institution!!! This is because the modern day institution he lives at was told by the state and federal government that they must start discharging those who have been there for at least 5 years; ( Read more... )

Apparently lowballing my expectations for 2023 was too much to ask for as I started off this year with my kitchen being damaged due to a leak in the dishwasher that had been leaking for what turns out to be at least 3-4 months and because maintenance didn’t do anything until my boss intervened yet again last week, I’m looking for a new place to ( Read more... )

Things have not improved since we last left off. I’m still pretending everything is fine while I’m dead inside at best, I’ve stopped being my eccentric self so that my boss won’t be angry with me anymore, and my family is still angry with me for becoming my own person in August.

I’m also still getting those ‘reminders’ from my boss that are in lieu ( Read more... )

When we last left off, I was doing medical testing to keep up the façade of a mysterious medical condition for everyone as I would’ve been permanently institutionalized had anyone known the truth. While I was able to convince most everyone of the mysterious medical condition story, Jake and his staff saw right through it and Jake has been ( Read more... )

Immediately following last entry, I was doing the Teams meeting for the Grafton group and Jake’s house were the only ones in attendance….

At the end of the meeting, Jake told me that he wasn’t allowed to attend the ALL in person meeting in June and he felt absolutely terrible about it. I texted my boss and told her that I would forgo future meetings ( Read more... )
