change of seasons
2013-Apr-09, Tuesday 08:34 amI've reached three milestones, sort of.
1) The weather here has been quite warm lately (read: mostly above freezing) only small patches of snow are still left on the landscape. We have forecast for some snow on Thursday, but at least it will be sure to melt away quickly.
2) I had a muscle cramp last night around 10pm. It was the first cramp in over a year of good luck. I'm somewhat bummed about it. Luckily it was in my right foot instead of my left foot where it could have aggravated my injured leg. I got up early today so I can drive out to the Autism Society Of Minnesota and make sure I get registered for the annual autism conference in 2 weeks. I want to visit other adults on the spectrum and ask which local neurologists they've used before. I want to find a specialist that doesn't treat me like a hypochondriac when I report symptoms. I mailed my Minnesota Care application yesterday. We'll see how long the bureaucracy takes to get me into a program.
3) The local gay library, Quatrefoil, is moving to a new location. The new development will also be providing housing for low-income, elderly GLBT folk. I emailed my information to them (in a pdf linked to by Quatrefoil for their followers) so they should contact me about my possible eligibility when units open up. If I qualify, it would be an awesome place to call "home" for the rest of my life. It would mean commitment to continue working in the Twin Cities too, but I think it would be worth it to be part of that new little enclave.
The seasons are changing. Into what, I don't yet know, but it seems worthwhile to keep looking forward.
