What to do, where to go…
While I’ve not put everything into motion with my moving, I have been doing research on allergy and asthma symptoms in areas of the country. Because seriously, it would defeat my purpose of leaving her due to my health issues if I move somewhere that will not help improve them, ya know? My asthma and allergies and at a super high right now with the way this weather changes every five minutes and I don’t want to end up making these things worse with wherever I go.
My focus is the Atlanta area and I noticed on a website I was reading last night that Atlanta was NOT on the top 100 of the worst allergy cities. So this is good, right? I also noticed that most of the bottom of this list are on the west coast. I’d like to avoid the top 50 cities for worst allergies and asthma. I really need to think about my health in all of this too. I do know though, that allergies in Georgia are pretty bad sometimes and I need to aware of that if I choose to go there (which I most likely will).
Currently, my asthma is pretty controlled with OTC meds and my inhaler. I want to make sure that wherever I go, I continue that trend and not make it worse. Stopping smoking would be a great start!
While I’ve set a “goal” of sorts to be out of this area within two years, I know that if it happens much sooner than later, I will not be disappointed. Although, later would be a little better for planning things. I’ve started making a list of things I want to box up and not use until after I move (books, knickknacks, etc). I’m also considering what I even want to take with me. Lists, goals and my emotions are all going down on paper each day.
I have not felt so comfortable with a decision in so very long, I’m almost afraid of how comfortable I feel with this. While I know this will not take care of all of my problems (because, yanno, a lot of my problems are in the head), I do know this is going to be a good thing for me.
In 23 16 days, I’m going to be heading south to visit my family for the first time since July 2009. This is entirely toooo long to go without seeing family, in my opinion. My financial situation has improved quite a bit and I’m still working on that area of my life, but it’s at a point now where I was able to get my car fixed and got new tires for it too.
I can’t go jetsetting anytime soon, but my bills are getting paid and I’m negotiating with some of my creditors from before. These are all good things and I’m taking the steps necessary to try to get all that crap taken care of.
I have some TV to watch on the DVR, but I have homework to finish up tonight when I get home and I have two quizzes to take for school, so I’m going to have to put the TV watching on hold. Just need to make sure it doesn’t fill up and stop recording stuff!
It feels good to have a home phone again. I tried the cell phone only thing for over a year and I did not like it. Having a home phone makes me feel “grounded” and rooted into where I’m at. I don’t know why that is, but it’s how it makes me feel. It’s also much more reliable than the cell phone here at home.
I think I’ve rambled enough for now!
Until next time…
