Stowe Vermont

Well last Saturday we bought a new vehicle in Laconia, New Hampshire.  We rented out a vehicle and had to drop it off down there.  Luckily it was next to the car dealership.  We thought we weren't going to get a vehicle but after bending some strings they helped us get a vehicle.

So we  decided to head over to Vermont again. This time we went to Stowe area to a B & B called Timberholm Lodge which was a gay friendly lodge.  First night we stayed put. It was a long drive and the GPS lost signal twice and ended up getting lost, so we were driving 6 hours.



During our stay we went to check out a house and it was nice property.  It would be nice to have that house.  But I think we will not get it since we don't plan on relocating until Springtime.  We would have to wait until Winter is over and then head over there.  At least we would have some money saved up.  We also checked out Waterbury, and Montpelier for a drive around.  Also had stopped by the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory.  What was really beautiful is that we went out at 6 am to watch the Sunrise and it was beautiful.  Pity I didn't get to take pictures of that.




We had taken some walks too due to his diabetes as they were pretty high in the 300 range.  We were having a nice time when we had to call it an end.  My concerned was to drive back again for 4 1/2 hours.  I also fear of crashing or something like that.

Northern Ireland or Vermont

Lately we have been talking about relocation.  He already knows that I want to move back home to Northern Ireland.  I call Ireland home because both parents are from there and all my relatives are there, even though I am born and raised in the United States.
Everything I think about Ireland and what it would feel like to be living there, I think about the things such as living in just outside the town like Claudy and having a little bungalow house or something, with a vehicle, settled down and living comfortably with our 3 cats.  He thinks it would be great to live in Ireland, but his concerns are with the illegal immigrants trying to get into England.  Also the 3 cats are a problem which we don't know if we could get the funds for them.  We only collected a small amount but that doesn't even cover rent right now.

Everything that has been talked about has been a struggle and alot of stress upon us.  Well I'm scared myself on returning because my concerns about it is that I am wondering how I am going to continue my social security disability and wonder how that works with them.  I mean, I know I could bring we could bring both of our SSD over there.  Their system could be different.  I'm not sure.  Also wondering if he will get the treatments that he needs since he has to go once a month to IV fusion to help his immune system.  Also medications and housing, and a vehicle and possibly furniture, however there are places that are furnished.


We had been talking about Vermont here and there.  There are things that are already in place, like Section 8, and don't have to worry about our SSD being cut off.  Also we could get a small house possibly and also a vehicle.  I could also get my gym that I always wanted.  But at the same time I don't feel safe in the US for some reason the way I did with Northern Ireland.  I don't know why but I just do.

Nauseous feeling

Just waking up as I heard some splashing in the toilet.  It was the sound of vomiting.  I bounced up out of bed and asked Craig what is wrong.  He told me that he wasn't sure and felt nauseous.  He thinks it may be the heat.   It has been very hot here in Maine which could be it.  He felt sweats one minute then he felt chills.  I had grabbed him some water so he could replace that water that he threw up.

I was thinking about him being nauseous and what actually might had caused it.  I thought it was the move or Housing as he has been thinking these two things alot lately, especially losing the Housing.  Not sure why.  He thinks that we may pay more for our rent.  I hope not as we were told that it wouldn't go higher after my Disability came through.  I told him what I thought about and he told me that he has thought about those things but not in a negative way.  I suppose he could be feeling nervous about a lot of things which made him feel nauseous.

He went back to sleep so I will have to keep an eye out on him.
