I guess if I’ve learned something in the last few days, it’s that tomorrow is something to look forward too. No matter what’s happening today, tomorrow is always a gift. I say that as I sit here watching a Christmas movie while writing my next blog post on New Years Eve. So here’s to tomorrow and the next year.

The last couple of days have given me a push that I think I needed. With the changes that have happened to me in the last month, I think it’s time to help him make some changes. Next week he has a doctors appointment coming up and an appointment for a a booster next week.
The doctors appointment is to help him find a new psychiatrist, someone he hasn’t had since he aged out from his last one. The booster appointment is to help him stay healthy. Something I did for myself a few weeks ago.
The last thing I did was to begin the process of finding him a new place to work. I e-mailed a local car dealership to see if I could talk to them about him working there. I didn’t hear back but, of course it’s the first step. Tomorrow I’ll see if I can take another step, just for him.

So we had a nice family Christmas last night. The last couple of years it’s usually ended for me when my oldest gets upset and because of something my brother has said but this year my oldest decided he was ready to go before that happened. For me, that made it a really nice family Christmas.

I had a really nice day with my oldest son getting the last of our Christmas shopping done. Unlike years past, our family is celebrating Christmas earlier that usual as my sister’s kids want to come down from Minnesota early so they can be back home for Christmas day this year. Tomorrow, he and I will wrap up the gifts to take to my mom’s house on Tuesday.

So Christmas came early today when I found out I had another check coming from my last job. Now I suddenly have a little less stress, a little more cheer and time to get more done for my family and friends. I think tomorrow my oldest and I will start wrapping a few presents, maybe even ordering a couple last minute gifts.

After hanging out with my youngest today, we finally got around to putting up the Christmas lights, something he and I do every year. One of my favorite Christmas traditions. I also got some more Christmas shopping done, so that’s good.

Now last night I was going to titled this blog post And then there was three, about how I now have two jobs and the fact that I may have three but, then I decided to instead just to go to bed. Well, little did I really know how my Thursday mornings were change, giving me time to write. Just another one of those joys in life this new job or jobs have given me.

So now that I’m settling in at my new job, I made an appointment with Vocational Rehabilitation for my oldest son to start his own search for a new job. That said though, I have an interview today for a part-time temporary job at a local college bookstore.
It’s the community college where I found my first job out of school, teaching in the Physical Education department. It’s also where my dad taught for twenty-five years until the year he passed away, shortly after retiring that same year.
Love you dad!

So yesterday on my first day on my new job I took a walk down along a street that I’ve been down many times before but, not for a long time yet, it felt almost like I never left. Some of the stores may have changed since I was last there but it felt very familiar. I think it will be a good holiday season.

I woke up today feeling a little down, which I definitely wasn’t expecting. The best I can figure is that I don’t start my new job till tomorrow and so I’ve been sitting here, with no schedule the last several days and while that can been nice, I guess I’m someone who likes a bit of a schedule.
I’m really just looking forward to tomorrow, to get a feel for my new job and an idea of what my schedule will be moving forward. As soon as I know what it is, I can make an appointment for my oldest son and I to go to Vocational Rehabilitation to get his next journey started. To find a new job.
