Sorry I haven't been around as much... I just have a lot going on and needed some time to think... so I'll write a blog to sum up everything that's going on...

It's been like the cold war at my house between me and my parents. I'm starting to let more of my social ideals and homoness be more prevalent at home which is rubbing my mom the wrong way so needless to say it's been a constant struggle between me and her. We have our up days and our down days, so needless to say I'm throwing myself into work.

Sounds like a weird solution but it's not. I'm trying to get a couple of bucks together to stash into my savings account so that when the time comes and I can afford to, I can get myself an apartment where I can be free. It may sound like I'm running away, but after much thought and discussion with friends and my sister, it really is the best solution. Me and my parents get along well when I'm not around as much which would be an ideal solution for me to finally move out because I can have my own place and still maintain a relationship with my parents. It'll also let me be myself so that I don't have to feel as constrained as I do now.

I haven't talked to them about this really, though they aren't too supportive of it, though they know somethings up since I'm constantly broke (yay for paying off debts) and been going through things that I don't need and sticking things in boxes that I do want to keep. Mom asked me the other week why I was getting all organized and such and I told her that it's something I needed to do and when i started to rework my room (tear out the old carpet redo my baseboards and such) she know's that somethings up.

Also I've been helping my family get the house ready to sell by fixing things up around here. This weekend is going to fun since I'm going to be rewiring the phone lines (I'm upgrading all the phones to cat5 cable hehehe). The previous weeks and weekends have been filled with various things like yard work, cleaning the attic out, and the like.

Also work is kicking my ass right now. I have two IHP (Individual Habilitation Plan) that are due in the next few days. For my job this is a big deal since these IHP's have the largest impact of my guys life. It details everything about them and their goals for the year. Think learning plans but on steroids and you might come close. There's a whole bunch of work that goes into it, like assessments in various areas, life biographies and medical/psychological assessments to name a few.

Oh and to top all of this off, my social life is taking a hit because of a few things, but that's for another time. I know what I gotta do with it so I'll get through it like I always do

Well off again.

Eric
