Just wanted to let y'all know.. [View all]

I have been on DU mostly lurking,because I have been busy bigtime. And I've been coping with a good amount of back pain too.I think it might be going out of remission with all the moving stuff and stress.

I found a place,its a supervised housing arrangement. I can't have my cats or my snake there. But my sister is taking in Bear and Sparkle until I get section 8.My counselor has a vet freind who loves reptiles who can take in my girl,Kali and will return her when I get section 8. I know a place out here that accepts section 8 and accepts pets.That's probably where I'll be after my time in residential. I'm gonna miss my furry and scaly ones alot. I love them so.My sister said she will take care of them both for me. She promised I could see my cats often.At minimum once a week.

I just hope I can deal with staff and roomates ok,and that they can deal with me ok.I hope I can handle being without my constant other species companions.
Staff seems cool and the treatment team will be working closely with my therapist and counselor at my day program.
Most of my stuff I need is packed up and already in the room. I just got a few odds and ends to get as I move in, tomorrow.
Wish me luck.
