Over and over you hear about people and drug rehab centers all over the US. Well I guess it’s really everywhere, but I focus on the US more, since it’s where I live. I found a cool website for a facility locater that the US Department of Health and Human Services has put together. I’ve never used the website, as I’ve never had a reason to, but I can see where it would be very helpful.

I can’t say I’ve given up the job search over the last few months, but I don’t feel a pressing need to go find a job either. I’m making a good amount of money from my online work, and living with Dad takes a lot of pressure off of me. He is okay with me working from home, knowing that I make what I do, he is happy that I have the time to devote to the girls, and scheduling/babysitters would be difficult with the life that we lead. I am happy living with Dad and not HAVING to worry so much about a job and money.

Well you can’t get much cheaper car insurance than what I have right now, which is none, but that will be changing in the next couple of months as Dad and I are going to be on the lookout for another vehicle for us. The new vehicle will go on my insurance policy I’m sure, which won’t be such a bad thing. I have good luck, and decent rates with my company.

To add to the mystery of Jack Georges, Christian Louboutin appeared to be a friend of his. An odder pair you would rarely meet. Jack being the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome. Christian was more the tall, nerdy handsome. They were often spotted together playing basketball, or having a meal or drink together, and yet one could not fathom how the two would know each other. They seemed to be from opposite ends of the world.

Doing call center services wasn’t her dream job by any means, but it was something that she could do any time she could fit it into her schedule, and even more importantly at this point, it was something she could do from home, or more accurately, her parent’s home.

When she had found out how serious her Father’s illness was, she packed up her apartment, told her boss she was taking a trip, and said she could work from there, or resign, whichever he chose. Her boss was truly a sweet and understanding guy, and hadn’t even thought of trying to make her choose between her job and family. He told her to keep in touch, and even if she couldn’t work for awhile, her job would be waiting for her.

She had to admitt though it was never easy to deal with insurance companies, Blue Cross Blue Shield NC had been easier than most. They had been more than willing to sit on the phone with her, and politely answer all the questions she had about her father’s coverage, and what treatment was expected. Of course the coverage only covered so much, but it was still a huge relief to her, to have the insurance company so easily on hand to answer questions and such.

This had been a trying time for her family, but she knew that they would survive, as they always did.

Jack Georges was a mysterious man. No-one really knew that much about him, at least not anyone that anyone knew. He seemed to come and go without rhyme or reason. He seemed to always have money to spread around, though people noticed that he was careful and particular about how and where he spread it.

Jack Georges was indeed a puzzle to anyone that knew him, or at that’s what people thought.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, trying to come up with ways to get more people to come to the local music show. They’ve been having a rough year, and it seems attendance is falling, or at least not rising. Rising is my goal!! I wonder if offering promotional tote bags as a reward for people who attend so many shows would help any?? I might have to check into it, just to see what it would cost.

Personal entries are few and far between these days I know, and I apologize. So much of life will be better when we finally get to move again, but for now we hang on, and try to stay strong. Living where we are has been a strain, and becomes more of a strain as the days pass. Arguing and bad tempers are becoming a daily thing, but we will survive, for just a little longer.

The girls return to school tomorrow, for which we are all thankful. The girls have missed school, which is apparent in the fact that they have been playing school almost their entire vacation. It will be good for both them and me to be able to get away from here for a few hours on a daily basis again.

We were kept busy during their vacation, as they both participated in a program called Star Struck in a nearby town. They learned a song, with a group, and then performed the song on stage last night at the Burlington Opry. They were beautiful and wonderful!! I am so proud of them for their hard work!! They are hoping to do it again, and I am hoping they do it again too!! They had so much fun, and were so wonderful! I am saddened that Bubble didn’t choose to come, but I suppose it was their choice to again not support the girls in something. It is normal, I shouldn’t be upset and disappointed, but I am!! I was there, Dad was there, and the girls were happy with that!! Lots of people at the show told the girls how good they had done, it made them really happy to recieve so many compliments. I am hoping that next time maybe some of the other family can come and see them, like Sonia, Sue, Adam and Mom, but we will have to wait and see. They live lots farther away, and money is tighter for them. At least the girls knew that they would have been there if they could have been, they know that they have that love and support.

The life insurance policy was what had made this dream possible for her. It still saddened her to think that she would never see her dear and loving father again, but that he had provided well for her in life, and in death was evidence of the deep loving bond that they had shared through her life.

It had always been just her and her Dad. Her Mom had left when she was just a baby, choosing the more carefree socialite life instead of being a mother.
