Current situation

I am feeling pretty stressed right now with the daunting task of moving July 1st. There is also my grandma's continued views on my relationship as well as other things. I understand that she only wants to help but sometimes I find her a little crushing. The other day she made it sound like there was a chance that Janice might get hurt by a relative because they got a little impatient with her while trying to put on her skate gloves. I really don't need any additional stress.

Work is going great I am getting a nice amount of shifts and my numbers are good so I have no complaints there. Waiting on letters about Janice to send in with a rent subsidy request for our new place. It would be tight without help but do able, so I really hope that there aren't any hiccups with the subsidy request like there is with Janice's daycare subsidy.

Janice is three months behind on our daycare subsidy due to government bullshit. Apparently they updated 30 year old systems and are now taking unbearably long time to process applications and renewals, so much to the point where some daycares are closing because they can't afford to wait for the money. It is rediculous.

My one day off in five and I am sitting here writing a blog about my current stressors. I wish I had someone I could talk to. I feel very much alone recently and the situations are not helping. Family are pushing me to buy instead of rent when I don't even know what we need for Janice in a house. I personally feel I am doing the right thing in waiting at least another year so that we can better assess Janice's needs in a home before buying. Also we have no down payment. I know they are just trying to help but sometimes help can be a hindrance. I wish I knew what to do. But I guess this is life and I will keep plugging along doing the best I can.
