So we decided what to do with lil Tino and yeah, he's staying here with us. It didn't take til Sunday to decide. On Friday, me and Michelle talked and it is just too difficult emotionally to give him up. Its gonna be tiring, expensive and trying, but I think this would tear us up inside. Plus, we'd really miss his smile. He loves to smile when you shake his mobile. Michelle is also helping out more, which helps. I have no idea how single moms do it at all. I have a newfound respect for them. Wow.... Though I'm not too fond of all the "advice" from other people. Yeah, I know everyone "means well" but really, I really don't think people should give out unasked for advice, especially when that advice is based on broad generalizations . I tend to find this from older individuals who swear they have some grand knowledge they must force upon everyone. I tolerate it from my mom, but God knows I don't need it from others. I suppose I realize what I have learned from all those psychology classes. I always thought I learned a lot of nothing. But what I have learned is that most people know their problems and to a certain extent, they know the answer as well. What is wanted is not another critic in their mind but someone who hears, understands and accepts you where you're at and asks the right questions so that you come to your own custom decisions. Wrong decisions are allowed to play out while still offering empathy and gentle guidance. If there is a God, I believe that is how He/She/it operates.

On a different note, gotta go get my blood drawn soon. It'll be my one year followup to check up on my hormones and tumor. Also gonna have a check for diabetes. *I asked for that one* I should be ok, if not better, now that I'm on pills I'm actually worried about what will happen when the health coverage goes out in the end of August. I got a few pills here stockpiled, but trying to get even more cabergoline. The job market (especially those offering benefits) is still looking bleak, atleast for us. I know I need to step it up and finish college already. Anyways, that's all, Thanks to you guys that have stuck around with me. Thank you
