Empty Nest Syndrome

We're managing quite well, than you

My partner, Vivian and I have had a roomate for the last four months, my son Michael, 19 years old. He has been working most of the time he's been here, but not quite making enough to get his own place to live. He had applied for transitional housing, but the waiting list was pretty long and he didn't know when he'd get a place. Yesterday has got not one but 2 places and was able to choose the best one for him. He moved at 5 pm today. Lucky him! Circ du Soleil gave his house free tickets for tonight, so at 7 he went to the circus. He'll be coming back on Sunday nights for dinner and Mom time. We're enjoying the quiet, until her nephew comes up. He's thinking of moving here and will be staying with us for a couple of days until he finds a place to live. Its always something...

well we're finally child free for the moment. My 19 year old son has been staying with us (my partner Vivian) and I since the end of December. He finally got three part time jobs, but could not get enough money to move out. He had applied for transitional housing, but was only 3rd or 4th on the list and wasn't going to be moving soon. Yesterday he was offered not one but two places to live. He picked the best one and moved in at 5 pm this evening. Apparently his place, Strahley House had been given tickets to Circ de Soleil for tonight and he left to see that at 7 pm. He has his own room (tiny) with a key. We'll see how it goes but wish him all the best in his new place. He fed us breakfast he had made this morning as a thank you for shelter and home all these months. Vivian's nephew is thinking of moving here soon and may stay with us for a couple of days. We're enjoying our young person free status for the moment though.

Ok, I am using the new entry function to try it out. So far so good. Charlie and Heidi and Penny, are you all in LA yet? if so, how do you like it? Although there are some ok areas, I pretty much don't really like Southern CA, but many people seem to. At least a whole lotta them live there... Well, so far, so good. I guess it works. We'll see when I submit. Que
