Seeking Transformation

I've made my appointment with The Special Man. I'll be seeing him at ten-thirty in the morning on October thirtieth, which I feel is an auspicious date and time; I feel there's something very special about seeing him on that day, when the veils between worlds are at their thinnest, the day before Samhain, which is a very transformative day.

The cost of the initial appointment is a bit painful, at two hundred dollars, but as Leela would say, "You gotta do what you gotta do." It most bothers me that I have no idea what the following treatments will cost or if every visit will cost us a cool two hundred dollars; I don't think that will be the case, but I suppose it's possible.

My mom did raise the point that I am technically homeless, so I should bring that up to see if they're able to offer me any discounts. At the same time, because this is a fertility specialist, I don't know if I want to bring up our tenuous living arrangements because then he may not feel I'm ready to begin treatment with him, which is far from the truth; people just so often misunderstand.

On a different note, we've found a house on which we plan to make an offer. It needs a ton of work, but it's on a great block in a good neighborhood that had minimal flooding and no flooding in any of the homes. This week we're trying to get the estimates for the work we'll need done on the house and pursuing state bond money, for which we are eligible.

Good luck with everything!

Thanks! I appreciate it. Right now I can use all the encouragement I can get. :)

You know I've been putting the good luck vibes your way, so I'll continue to do so. I can't imagine you'd want me to stop. :)

Good luck! I have my appointment with the IVF clinic the same day, just for entrance interviews and whatnot. And I mean, sweet Jeebus on a pogo stick, it's not like you're "homeless" homeless, because you're a couple of junkies or anything so I can't see how they can hold it against you, it's not like you burped and caused Katrina. :)

If only my burps held such power!
