News, Adapted From a Letter to a Friend
Wow, psychological health is essential! I am still getting used to this new medication, but it's working well. I no longer have the clouded thinking - it burned off the fog within an hour of my taking the first dose, and I don't have the horrible noise in my head that I was having - NOT voices, but I could "hear" my blood pusling through my veins, and it was so loud as to prevent me from hearing anything else. Thank God that has stopped!!!!
I have been having regular headaches, and a bit of nausea. I am hoping that these minor side effects will go away as I become accustomed to the medication.
Fabrice got his guard card, and has interviewed for a few different local security companies. Hopefully he'll start working soon.
I have different things lined up for the summer; through August 7, anyway. Then, I am going to go to France for at least a few weeks, according to one of the following 3 possible scenarios:
1. I go to visit with Fabrice's Aunt Marie-France, as therapy, if you will, and I come back once Fabrice has things more squared away here in CA or in AZ. Although I am already dong a ton better, I am still feeling rather precarious, and am incredibly exhausted. Assuming things are going to work out for him here or in AZ, I just want/need a bit of a break. I know I shouldn't be so dependent on him, but I have been doing most everything by myself for so long, that I kinda feel like I deserve a bit of respite.
2. If Fabrice doesn't get a job here that pays a livable wage, he is still trying to enlist in the Army. He needs to demonstrate that he doesn't have any lasting consequences of medical problems they said he had last year. He never had them in the first place, but they had to say something to cover their bottoms after the mess they had made and the French government's intervention. So, if he doesn't get the job but does get into the Army, *and* the powers that be approve the renewal of his green card, then I'll go visit Fabrice's aunt, and stay and work over there for the time it takes for him to complete his training as I will not be allowed to live with him during that time and am not comfortable with starting a new life all by myself.
3. If Fabrice doesn't find a workable employment situation here or in AZ, and he doesn't get into the Army, or if they don't renew his green card, then we won't have a choice, and will have to go back to France (I'm sure they'd issue him a long-term visa to be able to travel back and forth to see my family, and what not, no matter the green card situation). If that is the case, then I will stay with Fabrice's aunt until he and the dog and the cats and what belongings we have here can come back to France and he can start working at his job there again, which would be by December.
Besides all of that, I want to develop my own business and work from home. There are several things I am interested in: translation, transcription, photography, importing/exporting French and US products to French and US expats around the world... I just don't knw how to go about doing such a thing.
AND, I want to take some accounting classes. I so love numbers, and I'd really love to be able to work in accounting.
