Pull Myself Up

Hello Everyone:

Back to the grind after a restful three-day weekend.  I still haven't heard back from the Sometime BF regarding my reply to his reply. I think it's just because he's been busy with the move and everything else.  Of course mum has her opinions.  She thinks he's making a big mistake moving in with his mum when he lives so close.  I have my opinions too but I'm not there so I can't really say anything about it. If I was there, I would've throw a caution flag on the matter.  The only thing I can do is be the supportive girlfriend. Thinking long-term, I wonder what will happen after his mother passes away?  It sound ghoulish but I'm concerned that he'll want to stay in the house and possibly pass up good opportunities in his field, healthcare administration, elsewhere.  Yes, where he lives close to sources of good opportunities and may not have to move.  Being a tad on the selfish side, I can't really see myself moving to where he lives because it's out in the middle of nowhere.  It's not an s-hole by any stretch, it's the middle of suburbia and I'm not the suburban type.  It's all so hypothetical anyway that there's no point in looking that far down the road.  I'm pretty sure we'll that talk in the future.  Anyway, life moves on and I have to worry about myself.  That's not selfishness on my part, that's just self-preservation.  I recently got a letter from the nice people at the social services department.  They administer my ACA benefits.  The letter let me know that I was eligible for grocery purchase assistance.  I checked out the website and so far, so good.  They also administer other programs that would enable me to sort of get my life back on track.  I made the unconscious decision that if others can use the social service system to better themselves, so will I.  I plan to further explore what programs are available to me and make use of them.  My goal is to be finally pull myself together and get my life back, hopefully better than before.
