It's been a while, so a little update: After close to 8 months of living with my dad in Tucson there are some changes on the way for me. My dad, due to financial and health concerns, is moving to San Antonio, Texas to live with my older sister at the end of this month. So, I need to find a new place to live. My sister offered to let me move in with her too but, much as I appreciate the offer, it's the wrong direction. My ultimate goal is to find a job that will let me move back to the San Diego area. I've loved being back in Tucson, and I hate California, but being away from my daughter hurts me physically. So until I can move back to California I'm not going further East. My unemployment insurance will allow me to afford a small cheap place or to be someone's roommate. Geez, what an adjustment it has been going from earning over $50,000 a year to living on what works out to less than $12,000 a year. I have a friend (Ms. Milky you may have read about in that DOTT post a few months back) who wants me to be her and her boyfriend's roommate but I don't think that would be a very good place for me to live. They're fun to hang out with sometimes, but they both smoke a lot of pot and she's addicted to heroin (starting on methadone in a few days) and I just don't think that's a good environment to be in. Plus, they remind me of my brother and sister-in-law. So, other than having no place to live this move will affect me in a few other ways. On the good side: 1) I love my dad but It's pretty f'ing demoralizing being a grown man and living with your parent(s). So, it'll be good to not be in that situation anymore. 2) I won't have to listen to my TV playing crappy old western shows anymore. On the bad side: 1) Since I'm not likely to find family to live with I'll probably have to end up paying higher rent. 2) I may not be able to afford to go to the Phoenix Comic-con in late May which I was really looking forward to. Wil Wheton, Felicia Day and James Marsters are all gonna be there. :( In other news, my daughter is spending her spring break in Washington D.C. for a school trip. This is the furthest she's ever been from home, and her first out of town trip without her mom or I. I'm kind of nervous for her, but she's having a great time and seeing lots of neat stuff. Her bag is almost already full with all the souvenirs she's bought for family and friends. She got me an FBI hat. :D So, other than that, things are going along as usual. Cheers.
