In October I applied to go to Le Cordon Bleu and take there Baking and Patisserie class. So far everything is covered. I got enough financial aid to get me through the first seven months of school. I'll be starting in January. The only hitch right now is the corporate is wanting more info on my homeschool diploma. So I have to get daddy to make some me Homeschool Transcripts so that I can get that little problem out of the way. Then I just have to take the wonder-lick test and I'll be all set to go!
On Halloween we all went Tricker-Treating. Me and Aleshia went as different Goddesses. Aleshia went as Athena, And I don't remember what mine was called. The dress I wore still touched the ground even though I was wearing 4'5" heels. It was pretty fun, Though kinda weird doing it at the age of 20 lol. We went to a few houses and called it good. Then we came home and decided between the four of us what all we each wanted and then proceeded to eat most of it in one night.
Work has been going well, We've been setting Christmas stuff the last couples Of weeks. Last week I took a short fall off of one of the ladders in the backroom and hit my ankle against a "Tub" that I was loading with stuff to take to the floor. I didn't seriously injure myself, But my ankle is still a little bruised and sore. And than Friday I injured my elbow slightly carrying some shelves to an end-cap. I was carrying two of them with one hand and apparently that was to much for my elbow.
Me and Aleshia applied for our own apartment here in Austin! Everything is paid for, All the deposits are done. All we have to do is sign the lease, Switch the electric over to one of our names and get renters insurance. We're getting one in the same apartment complex as we live in now. Move-in date is Nov. 27 and we are very excited!! It'll be on the third floor, I've always wanted to live in a top floor apartment and now I finally get to!! We're going to start packing here real soon, Just as soon as we pick up some boxes.

Family, Friends, Work and Busy Busy Busy!!
Lets see, since I last posted a lot has happened. I got a job at target the end of July. I went in for a interview, Two people interviewed me, Asked me what experience I had, They explained what I would be doing and what would be expected of me. They were both really nice. I was offered the job right after the interview, which was awesome! It was a seasonal job offer. They had me go do a drug test that very same day, All I had to do for the drug test was go in a cup. Obviously I passed, since I don't do drugs. It was about two weeks later when they called me and told me when orientation was, That was a stressful two weeks. Because in that time I was constantly worrying about if I didn't pass something, If they were still going to give me the job ect. ect. Ya know everyone told me I couldn't get I job if all I did was apply online. But I proved them wrong! I got the job at target and all I did was apply online! I started out on the overnight shift, It was from 12am to 5am varying days of the week. I was on the Flow team, They are the team that unloads the boxes from the truck, Bowls them to the proper area of the store, And stocks the merchandise from said boxes. I did that job until Back to school season ended. They kept me after seasonal because they thought I was a really good worker! I was put on the presentation team after seasonal ended, The presentation team Sets the aisles, By setting the shelves and pegs, Puts up the signing and pulls merchandise from the backroom. I work Monday to Friday most weeks. I love my team! We even go out to lunch every now and then.
Before I even got a call from target that I had a interview, My uncle Arlen that lives in Florida came to visit since he was in Texas for work and had a day off. When he got here we all just sat and talked for a little bit, Then he took us out for lunch at chili's. The food was awesome! He found out I was gay and started asking me weird questions like, Have you ever kissed a boy?, Haven't you ever wanted to hold hands with a boy? Have you ever gone out with a boy? And, Your not interested at all in boys? And he just looked at me like he didn't believe me and that I was really weird, And he insinuated that I was to young and naive to actually know that I liked girls. Those questions were awkward because he asked all of them in front of my dad, Who I hadn't even told that I'd kissed a boy before. He told me what everyone else told me about getting a job, That you have to go in and talk to them. That you're not going to get a job by just applying online. Other then that, The visit was pretty good for me. He really hurt daddy though with some Of the things he told him when they went out to the car to talk a little before he left. I didn't hear those words directly, so I'm not going to write them here, especially since Daddy wrote all about it in his own blog.
Later after the job interview and offer, But before the call for orientation, My aunt Trini came up to visit us with her mom and dad. She took us all out to lunch at Luby's cafeteria. The food was awesome! Everyone just talked and reminisced about to past and got caught up on the now. Trini's mom was hilarious! I loved her! After lunch, Trini and her mom and dad took me shopping for work clothes. We stopped at one store very near our apartments, But the styles were more catered to black people and they didn't have the Red shirt and khaki pants that I needed. So we then went down by target to a store called Ross Dress for Less. We found 1 shirt and 2 pairs of pants there. Plus a Backpack and lunch bag and a pair of shoes. We also got Eldin and daddy some new clothes while we were there. The backpack, because I was planning to ride my bike to work everyday and needed something to carry everything while riding the bike, And the lunch bag is pretty self explanatory. Then we want over to target and found a few more red shirts. Then we stopped at the dollar store, because her mom wanted to buy a few things there. I got a water bottle and some gum. Then we came home and they had to leave. I got Trini's cell number and they left :). The visit was very fun, daddy and Eldin even got fedoras.
Since then, I've been working for a couple of months and so far I love it! I've been working on the Presentation team for a few weeks now. As I put above, I love my team! I'm always coming home with my knees and legs all bruised from kneeling on the floor and against the shelving while putting it up. My best friend came up to live with us on the 14th of September, because the person she was living with kicked her out again, And she needed a fresh start. So I sent her money for a bus ticket and a suitcase set. Technically she got here on the 15th, since she got here at 2:30am, But it was still the 14th to me, since I hadn't gone to bed yet. On the 15th we all went to the beach in Corpus Christi. We went to Bob hall pier. That was a blast! We went and played in the water, the waves were very fun! Me, Aleshia and Eldin all walked way out where there were some decent sized waves and jumped into/onto them. Salt water really stings the eyes and nose when it gets in them. I got washed under a few times, Two of which I inhaled a lot of salt water, Boy that hurt! The third one I was prepared for! lol. We also made sand sculptures, Aleshia sculpted what looked like a woman buried in sand, Eldin dug holes and buried his legs, And daddy buried his feet. That was fun to watch! Afterwards we went down to the end of the pier and looked out on the water. There were a lot of people fishing! We saw a baby shark and a fish attached to a hook and rope that was attached to the pier. That was a little disconcerting, Since if there was a baby shark there, Then Mama shark couldn't be very far. After the beach, We went to KFC for lunch, since everyone was starving! And then we started the drive home. We got home about 10:30pm I think.
It's been great having my best friend living here! On the 16th we both dyed our hair bright red! On the 18th we went to Lakeline mall and Picked up a bunch of job applications for Aleshia, We also tried on a couple of dresses (I post the picture at the bottom.) That was fun. That Night Aleshias phone went for a swim, luckily 2 days of it sitting in rice fixed it.
On the 19th we went rollerskating with A couple of unschoolers we met on a email group. That was fun, Me and aleshia skated around for a while, I only fell once! But man that fall hurt! Eldin skated around with his new friend Anthony for a while. Then after that we went to Georgetown lake and swam for a bit. We jumped of of a small ledge into the water which was 40ft deep and a very long ways from the shore. It was harder to swim that far then we thought it would be. We even resorted to clinging to the cliff wall to rest, and said wall was covered in ants. That's how tired we were. The exhaustion was starting to set off panic, because we were so far from shore, yet we had swam so far. Me and Aleshia finally found a rock to sit on and rest. It wasn't far to the shore from there. Then we saw that Eldin was still way back and clinging to to wall. He wouldn't let go because he couldn't swim any farther. After all, he never exercises so that was far more than he was used to. Anyways we finally got Anthony the hale the boat and they went and picked Eldin up. And Eldin even saw the bright side of that experience, He got to ride in a boat! Overall It would have been worth it to jump off of the high wall just so that we wouldn't of had to swim so far.
On the 20th Aleshia went to the hospital, because of dropping blood clots, severe stomach pain and vomiting. They checked her out and said they didn't think it was anything to serious. They prescribed her some pain meds and some antibiotics. And told her to make a appointment with a gynecologist to find out what was wrong for sure.
The on the 21st She had a interview at the Olive Garden. The interview took almost an hour and when she came out, She was walking really fast and smiling. She got the job! The very first job she's interviewed for here, Her very first job, And she got it on the first try!!! We are soooooo proud of her! And she was practically glowing with happiness! Her orientation is on Monday at noon. She'll probably be working as a hostess. We then went to Walmart and I got a new phone, It's a cricket touch screen and I love it!! We then went to savers to get her work clothes. And I picked up some clothes too. We walked out of there after spending $78! Then we went and picked up some ground beef and bacon. We were very nearly out of both.
Yesterday I went out to lunch with Some people from work, We ate at Pluckers. There food was good. I got a grilled cheese and macaroni. Afterwords me and a different Anthony, (This one works with me) went to see a movie. We saw "The house at the end of the street." It was pretty good, It was very weird. I think He saw it as a date?. But to me it was just going out with a friend to see a movie. So after I was home for a few minutes, I texted him and told him that I was sorry but I'm gay and not interested in guys in that way. He texted me back and said that It was ok, He understood. And that he hoped I had a nice weekend. He's a really nice guy, But Like I said, just not into them. Then later that day, Me, Aleshia, Eldin and Daddy went to a frozen yogurt place to meet with Barbra and Anthony from the unschooling thing. The yogurt was very good! Afterwords we went hiking. That was fun, The riverbed had no water except a couple of small puddles. Then on the walk back, We heard a rattlesnake! That was very startling, Especially considering it was getting kinda dark! After all that, We came home and made meatloaf. It was very good! Then me and Aleshia went down to the hot-tub for a bit. Then when we came back we put up laundry and finished the dream boards that we had been working on. Then at about 2am I went to bed, And I can only assume aleshia came to bed not long after me.
And that's everything that's been going on since I last wrote! I'll try to update more often, But I can't promise anything. :-).
Before I even got a call from target that I had a interview, My uncle Arlen that lives in Florida came to visit since he was in Texas for work and had a day off.

Online dating, Tennis and Busy, busy city life
Hello :). The last couple of weeks have been very busy. On or around the 10th, I created a user account on Okcupid.com, And put that I was bisexual. I've made friends with a few of the guys that messaged me on there, And blocked a few because they were douchbags that only wanted sex.
On the 12th I went on a bowling date with a unschooler that I met on there. He's a pretty good guy i guess :). The bowling was pretty fun, I was beaten by about 20-30 points :P. The bowling ally we went to was much fancier then the onw i was used to in buffalo. It had cool graphics that played across the screne when you scored and it had scenceres on the line so that if your foot went over the line you got an automatic fail on that turn. It was a pretty cool place :). Afterwords I went to try some pot at his apartment(i know, bad idea to go to a guys apartment when you've just met them), And it was in his bedroom no-less! Anyway, the pot did nothing to me, seeing as it was my first time smoking it and that was a possibility. I did inhale some ash that burned my throat though. That really hurt! After that he brought me home and it was fairly uneventful the rest of the day :).
On the 14th we went and spent a large part of the day at Lakeline mall. We did some clothes shopping, After much browsing, I got a Beautiful dress, Some strappy high-heels from payless and a rainbow pride wrist warmer from spencers. After the mall, We went to Savers. Daddy got a nice pair of pants and a nice shirt, And I got a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. We then came home and I spent some time trying to take a good picture of my dress and heels by myself, Then I gave up on that and asked daddy to take the picture. The pic turned out really well :).
I think it was the 17th when me and daddy went and bought a couple of tennis rackets and some tennis balls. We then went to Patterson park and played some tennis. That was really fun! Neither one of us played very well, But we still had a blast!
On the 18th Daddy had a doctors appt to have a spot on his ear looked at. Afterwards I think we came home, ate with eldin and then went to Patterson park to play some tennis with all three of us! We probably played for over an hour. Then we came back and went to Jack-in-the-box for supper. Afterwards we went to the Unschoolers support meeting and talked with some friends there for a few hours.
The next day on the 19th I had a date with another guy I'd met online at okcupid. We had our date at Barton creek mall. We walked around and he bought me a t-shirt from Hottopic. Then we walked around some more and looked at a couple of aquariums that the mall had. We Ended the date at the food court after we had lunch. Overall it was a pretty good date :). Afterwards we(me, daddy and eldin) came home and relaxed for a little bit before heading out to Givens park to play some tennis. It's very nice park. We kept score this time. First was eldin vs daddy, daddy was beaten 3-0. Then I played Eldin, To which I also lost 3-0. Then after a break, I played daddy. I lost completely 3-0 to him too. During the last match between eldin and daddy it started to rain, which was a nice break from the heat. Daddy actually won one of the games this time! It made their final match 2-1 with eldin winning. After that we went home. And it was that very same day that I came out as gay publicly on facebook. The guy I had a date with that day, understood and still wanted to be friends, for which I was relieved :).
On the 20th, We went to pool day at reed park. It was pretty fun. I got to see my friend cela there this time. I was very happy to see her :). I also made chili for supper, But seeing as it wasn't ready when we got back, We picked up eldin and went to Jack-in-the-box for supper.
Today, the 21st, We had chili for breakfast instead of our usual Burger and bacon. Daddy had a doctors appt with Dr.Dano to have a couple spots on his head freezed. Then we went to a pool party one of the Unschoolers was holding and spent a couple of hours there talking with some friends we hadn't seen before/hadn't seen in a while. That was pretty fun :). The rest of the day has been spent relaxing at home with our computers :).
Well, That's been my life the last couple of weeks :). And I'm very tired from it all! It's been fun though, for sure. TTYL =D.
On the 12th I went on a bowling date with a unschooler that I met on there. He's a pretty good guy i guess :). The bowling was pretty fun, I was beaten by about 20-30 points :P.

Karaoke in dallas and fun in Austin
Lets see, what's happened since I last posted... Late last month (may) Me and my Father drove down to dallas tx to watch my cousin Allison's performance in the karaoke semi-finales! She made it through to the finales! She was amazing!! and she's only 10! We stayed the night at their place since the semifinales were from 7:30pm to 10:00pm and it was a 3hr drive from Austin to Dallas. I was so proud to know her! When we got home the next day, We went down to the front office of the apt complex for a Ice cream social. The Ice cream was delicious!
Since then, We've went to play pool at slick willies pool hall a couple of times. Last time I only won once! And it was by default! :). This last park day turned into a pool day. The pool was HUGE! It went from three foot deep in the shallow end to 12 foot deep in the diving area, It had to lanes for lap swimmers, and it was Frickin Huge!! LOL. :P. Not to long after we got to the pool, a bus load of kids got there. It got very loud very quickly. But we enjoyed ourselves hanging out with some of the other homeschooler/unschoolers.
Oh I almost forgot to mention, The week after the semi-finales in the karaoke contest....... Allison won the finales!!!!! YAY!!! We've also gone to Zilker park a few times and played Frisbee with our Frisbee ring.
Yesterday, We went to the Blanton Art Museum in downtown Austin. I had never been to an art museum before. It was pretty awesome! We walked around for 2hrs looking at a bunch of the art displays.
Lately I've been playing a game called"The legend of Zelda: Skyward sword". After over 30hrs of game-play, I'm almost finished with it. I just have one last boss area to complete. It's the final boss(Of course). And the final boss is always the hardest.
I have been cutting out sugar from my diet since wednesday. So far I'm doing pretty good, It's been hard though, What with Ice pops being just inside the freezer and cookies just down the way in the front office. But It's so worth it! I feel so much better when I don't eat sugar. :).
I'm still looking for work, Though admittedly not as hard as I could be looking.
Well, That's all I can think of for now. TTFN!

It went from three foot deep in the shallow end to 12 foot deep in the diving area, It had to lanes for lap swimmers, and it was Frickin Huge!! LOL. :P. Not to long after we got to the pool, a bus load of kids got there. It got very loud very quickly. But we enjoyed ourselves hanging out with some of the other homeschooler/unschoolers.
Oh I almost forgot to mention, The week after the semi-finales in the karaoke contest....... Allison won the finales!!!!! YAY!!! We've also gone to Zilker park a few times and played Frisbee with our Frisbee ring.
Yesterday, We went to the Blanton Art Museum in downtown Austin. I had never been to an art museum before. It was pretty awesome! We walked around for 2hrs looking at a bunch of the art displays.
Lately I've been playing a game called"The legend of Zelda: Skyward sword". After over 30hrs of game-play, I'm almost finished with it. I just have one last boss area to complete. It's the final boss(Of course). And the final boss is always the hardest.
I have been cutting out sugar from my diet since wednesday. So far I'm doing pretty good, It's been hard though, What with Ice pops being just inside the freezer and cookies just down the way in the front office. But It's so worth it! I feel so much better when I don't eat sugar. :).
I'm still looking for work, Though admittedly not as hard as I could be looking.
Well, That's all I can think of for now. TTFN!

Haircut and Decisions.
Friday may 4th we went down to Slick Willies Family Pool Hall and played two hours of pool which equated to 6(?) games. I only won 1 or 2 of those games. It was a blast!
I still haven't heard anything back from the last interview I had at TX Land and Cattle steak house. It's now been a little over two weeks since the interview. So unless by some chance they call early next week, It's looking like I'll have to go down town and apply at some places there in person. Not really looking forward to that. It scares the pants off of me to go into new places/buildings.
I've decided that if I haven't found a job by the end of may, I'll start the application process to go to Avenue Five cosmetology school. I'll have to get grants but that shouldn't be to hard, right? It looks like a awesome school, Much better then my school was. Much higher tech. I'll work harder this time around in school. I'll ask questions and practice more styling techniques. They're cosmetology course is 11months, where as mine was 9months. So whether I apply to go soon or not for a few months, I'll definitely be going to this school!
So do you guys like my new header and background? My dad helped with the header and the background image I found on photobucket. The background image is the Anime version of Taurus, From the zodiac :).
Baibai! ttyl.

Interviews and park days.
Hi, It's been awhile since I've updated everyone! Let's see, not much has happened since I last wrote. Since last time I've had three interviews, One with subway, One with Olive garden for a Server position and One with a different Olive garden for a Server assistant/Busser position. So far None of them have panned out I haven't heard back from any of them. Subway and the first olive garden were early last month, and the second Olive garden was last week. I got a email yesterday from Olive garden saying "That after careful consideration we will not be offering you a position here." or something like that. The only problem is, They didn't state which olive garden the email was from. So I'm not giving up just yet on olive garden.
So, We've been enjoying the warm weather here. We've gone out tanning by the pool side quite a few times this month so far. The pool is lovely! The hot tub is pretty wonderful too! :). Except for when it rains or a rare cool front comes in, The weather has been pretty consistently in the 80's since Middle of march. So it's been perfect pool weather! lol. I'll be needing a new swimsuit soon as the one I have is wearing out from such frequent use. I've never had a swimsuit do that before :P.
The home school park days have been so much fun! I love hanging out with Cela, and when she's not there, I enjoy hanging out with all of the other adults! I learn such cool stuff hanging out with fellow home/unschoolers! This last park day, Google maps led us to the wrong park, so we drove around in the vicinity of the park we were looking for for nearly an hour! We found it after I texted google from my phone and then entered the address I got into the GPS. Then we found the park! YAY!! lol. After we said hello to the other homeschoolers, we went and played some Frisbee in a open field part of the park. There was a drainage ditch about two to three feet wide that you had to cross to get to the field. I jumped across it and then we played some Frisbee. We didn't play very long since it was very hot out. On the way back to where the other homeschoolers were, I did a better jump back across the drainage ditch. But, boy did the landing hurt! 'Cause I landed one one leg and the impact sent pain all through the lower part of my leg and all through my left arm as I wrenched the muscles from my hand all the way to my shoulder to keep from falling down. I was very pleased with my landing though :-P. I was very sore from the jump the next day.
We would of gone to a butterfly release today but it was 50 miles from here and we didn't have the gas. 50 miles really isn't that far of a drive, Unless you don't have the money to pay for the gas (duh!) lol. Other then that we don't really have any plans for today that I know of. It's beautiful outside and just a little chill. But it's supposed to warm back up in the next couple of days. Yay! :P.
Well, That's all that's really been going on in my life. The rest is pretty much same ol' same ol'. Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Till next time! Byebye! :)

Kite Festival and phone troubles.
Well, Not a lot has been going on lately. Yesterday we went to a Kite festival at zilker park here in Austin. We meant to get there by 10am, But didn't actually get there till noon. It took us an hour to find somewhere to park and the spot we found was at least 1 mile from the park. It took us about half an hour to walk to the park. The bright side of us having to park so far away is... We found the Barton springs pool! YAY!! lol. The festival was awesome! There had to of been hundreds of awesome kites in the air. And there were thousands of people there at the park. There was music playing and all kinds of venders there, To bad we didn't have any money with us to buy anything. Me and Daddy took pics, They're all on his blog. So I won't be posting them on mine :) (Here's the link to his blog if you want to see them, http://ramblemans.blogspot.com/2012/03/pics-kite-festival-austin-tx.html). It was a gorgeous day out as well which just added to the awesome-ness of the day yesterday.
A couple of days ago I dropped my phone in the toilet (Stupid!!) and fried it. Of course I did that just a couple days before I was going to do my follow-ups! (Can't believe I did that!!) So I tried to transfer my number and service to an old phone of daddy's but I needed a new SIM card for the old phone. So daddy called the customer care line and waited on hold for a little over 30min to talk to them. Now they're sending me a new SIM card, It should be sent in 3-5 days. So meanwhile I have no phone so I can't do any follow-ups on my applications because they would need a phone to contact me at and I don't have one right this moment. As soon as I do I'll be following up on each and every application I've put in since starting the job hunt a few weeks ago.
We now have a cat tree for our kitties. Just got it this afternoon. Mango loves it! Twitch hasn't tried it yet. She's been passed out on the back of the sofa for a few hours now. Mango is passed out on the cat tree.
Well I've decided that eventually I want to go to school/Apprentice for, Cosmetology(Again), Baking and patisserie, Pet grooming and Massage Therapy. It's a good thing I like school and that I have a lot of years ahead of me still.
Well that seems like a good place to end, So Good night/Good morning :). Baibai.

Park day and wireless internet
So daddy joined a Austin unschool email group a few days ago. And we went to a park-day yesterday that they organized and got to meet some of them. Me and Eldin met and walked around the park with a girl called Cela. Turns out that me and her have at least a little bit in common which is pretty cool. The park was pretty big. It had a man-made lake in the middle of it that had a whole bunch of ducks and geese in it. I don't think I've ever seen that many ducks and geese in one place before. Then when Cela and here family had to leave, Me, Eldin and daddy went to play some Frisbee just down from the playground. That was pretty fun. After park-day we had Lunch at Jack-in-the-box. It was really good! Then we stopped at H.E.B and picked up some peanut butter and bacon and then came home. Today so far all we've really done is go to the bank and come back home. We're going to go work out at our little fitness room later. Oh! Me and Eldin are now going to have broadband wireless just like daddy! We're having it installed tomorrow 3-2-12. It'll be nice not having to worry about whether our connection is gonna stay or disappear. Well That's all I got for now. Hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful day, Byebye! :-)

Random Ramblings and Looking for work.
Hi, Long time no write :-P. We have settled in pretty well to our new life in Austin Texas. It's been hard adjusting to life without mama but we're doing it. We went to Zilker park a few days ago and loved it. It's such a pretty park. We tried to play Frisbee but 1. it was to windy and 2. we were trying to play with a .98cents Frisbee. So that didn't work out too well. But then we went and walked along the hiking path and a pedestrian bridge across the river. We got to see people kayaking and river surfing which was awesome! We also saw a White crane/Egret thing on a branch near the water. So that was a fun day! Now we have a better Frisbee but the weather hasn't cooperated with us, so we haven't been able to play Frisbee yet.
Every other day we go down to the workout room and exercise. Otherwise we hang out at the apartment or in the hot-tub, and sometimes we go to the store.
We walked down to the library yesterday. It was a really nice library :). It even had Manga that I've heard of before and It also had a Dog Bible which I thought was cool.
Today is workout day so we will be doing that later. Earlier today we went and checked out a arcade called Pinballz, It was pretty awesome!
I have been looking for work for a month now though I haven't been looking very hard. All I've done so far is put applications in online. Today I put in a few applications to Starbucks. If they haven't called in a few days I will go in and do a follow up in person on my application. If they don't have any positions available I'll do the same at McDonald's and Taco-bell and Pizza hut in turn. So I will be trying much harder now to get a job.
We just got our apartment sprayed against roaches earlier today, Since we keep seeing one here and one there Daddy decided that we should tell the apartment head and they sent a person out here to spray along the baseboards. Well that's about all that's been going on for now. Bye Bye and Thanks for reading <3.

Everything that's happened since I last posted.
Well, A lot has happened since I last posted. We stayed at the Buffalo in and suites on December 1st and 2nd. It was nice! They had a saltwater pool and a regular hot-tub! The pool water actually didn't taste to bad :P. Me and Eldin stayed at the hotel on the 2nd by ourselves while mama and daddy finished the sale at the house. It was kinda boring really. Then we left Missouri on December 3rd, With just what we could fit in the car. So everyone but the driver had there legs bent at weird angles to fit into the car. Me and my brother each had a cat in a carrier on our laps as well. We stopped at the Over-pass McDonald's for lunch, It was awesome! The cats were not happy campers until we got to the second motel we stayed at on the trip to Austin. We let them out of the crates that night. They were sooo happy. We had Pizza for dinner that night ;P. Then the next day we all piled back into the car to finish the trip to Austin. I don't remember where we stopped to eat lunch that day. So after 5-6 hours of driving we finally arrive in Austin! We made it to the motel we planned on staying at for 14 days and payed $700 something for it. The room wasn't bad, The cats got to get out of there crates, So they were pretty happy. We had to make what felt like 10 trips from the car upstairs to the room loaded with stuff just to empty the car. We were exhausted by the time we finished unpacking the car! I think we went to Wal-mart after we rested for a bit. Ya' know we had to pick up some food to cook while we stayed there. One night we stayed there we got take-out from Chili's. It was awesome because we only had to walk like 0.5mi to get there.
Me and mama walked to the target that was near the motel a few times, one of those times we bought Eldin some brand new roller blades. We also walked to the Walgreen's that was in the same plaza to get cigarettes and snacks. Me and Eldin also walked to target and Walgreen's by ourselves one time just to look around the stores. Then another day me and mama walked to the temp agency next to target called "Man Power" and found out we could just apply there online.
We applied for a apartment with Fort branch at Trumans landing, They are a Restricted income based apartment complex. They assured us that we had a place there. That they were just dotting the I's and crossing the T's. Well because the process for the paperwork was taking so long we had to pay for an extra 3 nights at the motel. We even had to take Eldin's Christmas present (the roller blades) back to the store so that we could pay for another night at the motel. Which left us with barely anything left to spend on anything else. Then on Tuesday the 20th we go in thinking that we were going to be signing the lease right? Well we get there and they tell us that because of our projected income (from jobs we didn't even have yet) Put us over the income limit. So for a week and a half they jerked us around assuring us that we had it only to tell we might make to much if me and mama were working full-time. So Mama asked them if they knew of any place that we could move in today because we didn't have the money to stay at the motel any longer and They referred us to where we live now.
We got the apartment that day, but because it was after noon that we got it, we still had to pay for one more night at the motel. Which we could do since we now had a place to live. So we unpack the trunk full of stuff we had packed earlier that day. Into the apartment. Then we go back to the motel and pack up a bunch more stuff from the motel to the car. Later we go to Little Ceasers to get some Supper and Soda. It was delicious! Just a little bit after that I went to take a bath.
Just after getting out of the bath and getting ready to watch offline videos on my laptop when mama starts making snoring like sounds. I thought she was joking at first, Until she wasn't responding to daddy talking to her. At which point I start telling daddy to call 911 because she wasn't breathing. We had a whole fiasco with the 911 operator. He asked our address where we were staying and we gave it to him, Then he said that his computers showed that it wasn't a valid address. Then asked for the phone number of the place we were at so daddy gave that to him. He then said that it showed that it wasn't a valid phone number (or something like that) then asked if we had a card with the address on it. We didn't but we knew the address and told him again. He must have found it because then he said that the paramedics were on there way.
Daddy handed me the phone when he started so I could relay what the gut was saying and so daddy could do the Chest compressions with both hands, But I was so shaken up that I couldn't relay anything and handed the phone back. So daddy had to do the Chest compressions one handed. I watched for the EMS. After the EMS got there one of the cops took me outside and asked me my family's birthdays and names. He was impressed that I knew my parents birthdays and birth years. He stood outside with me and talked about various things until the Civilian help people got there and asked me The same things as the cop did.
The cop let me use his jacket for a bit and the civilian help people gave me a blanket to use. After the EMS had taken mama down to the ambulance we followed the civilian help people to the hospital ER and found a parking garage to park in. Then we went in to the ER and waited to be told what happened. A nurse called us back to wait in a more private room. We waited for the doctor and talked about what mama would of wanted. That was sad :`(.
Then the doctor came in and told us that she had had a heart-attack. And that she was in a coma and that she had probably been without air to her brain for to long causing brain damage, And that her heart was really weak. Then we got to go see her for the first time since she was put into the Ambulance. It was very sad to see her like that. Then we went home and tried to sleep some.
So then she was in the ICU on life support From the 21st to the 29th. In that time They found out she was having seizures so they gave her meds for that, Then they did a EKG and found out that her heart was very weak and it looked like it had been for a long time.(they also said that the weakness could of been caused by the CPR). Then they later told us that the type of heart-attack that she had was called V-Fib. Then they did an EEG and found out that she was having constant brain seizures. So they gave her meds for that too. But the meds didn't seem to be calming them down at all. During that week in the ICU on life support, She had another V-Fib heart-attack.
Her Mother and Brother came during that week and visited her and us. They got here on the 28th(I think) and the next day the doctor talked with all of us about her condition and how what she's suffering from people don't recover from. It was talked about in a private little conference room. We all told him that she wouldn't want to live very long like this and that we should turn the life support off(which was very hard to say) and that if she had another Heart-attack not to resuscitate her.
Her family stayed here at a hotel from the 28th of Dec. to the 1st of Jan. Then daddy's sister came on the 1st and left yesterday at 4:30am. During that time there has been no change in her condition since taking her off of life-support. Mama's brother Gary paid the crematorium fee for us. So when she does pass on, We have that all taken care of for us. Her dad gave us $800 originally for the cremation and urn, But her brother and his wife didn't want us using HIS money for that so they paid for it and so we got $800 to spend on getting us presents for a late Yule. Daddy's sister who came on Sunday, bought us a couch and lounge chair. Then we find a really nice desk out by the dumpsters. It took all four of us (Me, Daddy, Eldin and Aunt Michelle) to get it back. It was definitely worth the effort.
Dealing with all this AND having just moved here, It's been hectic these last few weeks. We've been very busy not only visiting the Hospital but also Paying bills, Getting food stamps applied for, Getting furniture when we can afford it, Shopping for food and cook-ware, Setting up a bank account, And lots of other stuff too. We've just been on the go constantly since this happened. Mama is now also under the care of a hospice. She's still in the room in the hospital, But as soon as a room opens up in the hospice she'll be taken there. Now one of our list friends Mary is coming tomorrow afternoon to visit.
Me and Eldin now have our Brand new Roller Blades. We're very happy about that. We went to the YMCA that is really close by here and took a tour and found out that for low-income people it is very inexpensive to join and get a membership. And all of this is the shortened version of what has been going on since I last wrote :P. So we've been very very busy. Byebye. Suppers ready so I got to go :).
Me and mama walked to the target that was near the motel a few times, one of those times we bought Eldin some brand new roller blades. We also walked to the Walgreen's that was in the same plaza to get cigarettes and snacks. Me and Eldin also walked to target and Walgreen's by ourselves one time just to look around the stores.

Dealing with all this AND having just moved here, It's been hectic these last few weeks. We've been very busy not only visiting the Hospital but also Paying bills, Getting food stamps applied for, Getting furniture when we can afford it, Shopping for food and cook-ware, Setting up a bank account, And lots of other stuff too. We've just been on the go constantly since this happened. Mama is now also under the care of a hospice. She's still in the room in the hospital, But as soon as a room opens up in the hospice she'll be taken there. Now one of our list friends Mary is coming tomorrow afternoon to visit.
Me and Eldin now have our Brand new Roller Blades. We're very happy about that. We went to the YMCA that is really close by here and took a tour and found out that for low-income people it is very inexpensive to join and get a membership. And all of this is the shortened version of what has been going on since I last wrote :P. So we've been very very busy. Byebye. Suppers ready so I got to go :).
