I Need Some Luck

As the title reads, I need some luck that I can spread to Denisse. Tomorrow morning we are going to Delaware’s Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS.) We are both hoping against all hope that DHSS has opened her case and that she will have Food Stamps, Medicaid, and access to emergency housing. DHSS is in so much better shape than Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services so I am hopeful. We need the case opened so we can move her to a motel in a better area so she can find work and establish herself.

Anyhow, I am looking forward to seeing her today and hanging out with her because it is always a good time. I really and truly love her and she has made me so happy. Denisse has helped to lift me out of the depression I was in and she has given my life some meaning and purpose. In addition, my psychiatric physician’s assistant has gotten me on the correct dosing of medication and I am doing so much better in the mornings.

This afternoon we are going to see a movie and then do a large food shop because I’ll need to wait until I get my next Social Security distribution to see her. Money gets kind of tight towards the end of the month. I wish I had more money to be able to help Denisse out. Being poor hurts. But things are going relatively well and we are going to solve one problem at a time and take things one day at a time.
