New opportunities may present - or may not.

A few new things going on...
I've been trying to convince Tom to move here... Not sure how well it's working. He says he may, but he's said that before too... and then didn't. So, I never know. He's saying, potentially in 3 weeks. *shrugs*
If he were to move here, him and Justin could work and split rent and I could stay home with the kids. Justin would attend school to get his HVAC license while working. It's a 7 month program. It starts out with good pay supposedly.
I feel like things would get better if he moved here..
Plus Justin and I would qualify for food stamps and other help. Which would severely help us out. Right now we're literally just about keeping our head above water, trying not to drown.
I've been feeling pretty badly depressed recently.. but my psychiatrist said there's no other meds she could give me that would help because this depression is situational and it won't change unless my situation changes. Blah. I just have been feeling so so down.
On Tuesday I found out that a very well known, amazing, and inspiring intactivist took his own life. It hit me pretty hard and I didn't even know him. Maybe it hit hard because I attempted it myself not too long ago... or maybe it hit hard because I understand the pain he must have been facing, or maybe it hit hard because circumcision shouldn't still be happening and it shouldn't have ever happened to him. It's unfair. And it makes me angry that we have to try to convince people that causing their child's genitals to bleed is wrong. :(

Gah.

On another note, I met a new friend who has been helping me a lot with my depression, whether she knows it or not. She's been Skyping with me and we just talk - well sort of lol. She's deaf so I type and she talks - she has the cochlear implant and she grew up talking, she can partially hear with it but it's hard to hear me over the sounds of the laptop and both our homes. She's super kind and caring. She really helps me feel better just by being there and being herself. If we weren't both married I'd have a total girl crush on her. :p haha. She told me she's going to teach me sign. :D I'd like to learn it and become fluent in ASL. I've always wanted to learn ASL. I taught myself some signs when Noel was little and I taught him. He doesn't sign anymore but I remember some signs. :)
She's also an adoptee... I know, I know... what is it with me and attracting adoptees?!?! I have no idea. But I seem to attract either adoptees or other nmoms. Idk. Last night we spent a good portion of the night searching the web and adoptee registries trying to help her find a link to her birth family. We get along well, I hope we can continue being friends.
