Vincent’s life took a couple of more small turns Thursday as he got his first paycheck ever (not counting cash from KFC taste testing or working with his father) and he signed up for a third medication from his psychiatrist, who we visited Thursday. In addition to a mood pill and antidepressant, he’ll take a sleeping aid too. We talked briefly about Michael Jackson’s medication. Vincent reiterated his revived interest in going to school out of town (Western Kentucky), which I don’t know how we would afford now.
Friday moves into a different role at the Halloween store, as the doors open at 10 a.m. Vincent will go in a kind of uniform (black pants and an orange Halloween Express T-shirt they gave him), although he apparently won’t be cashiering.
Mom awaits word on two things: getting trained to administer the anti-osteoporosis medication she’ll eventually inject into her own abdomen every morning and possibly having to move her somewhat sprawling office into something much smaller. Mom continues to work with a fellow church member who comes to clean her house on Thursdays.
Hope the job shift and new medications work out.
P.S. I mailed off my Sallie Mae student loan income-based repayment plan application Thursday too. Duty calls for me also as both local Democratic Congresspeople are having town hall meetings on health care this coming week, and folks are trying to call health care reform supporters to ge them out to the town hall meetings, partly to counter the right.
