Mano & I left Killeen Monday morning, today is Friday. It was windy the whole way here. Mano did well except for the last part of the journey. Apart from the windmills along the way the journey was not very scenic. I didn't arrive in Los Alamos until almost midnight so I missed the Rocky Mountains until the next day. Mano seems to have settled in nicely. It's so beautiful here but I've had issues dealing with the altitude. Even though I got the staples out of my head Tuesday my head will often be under pressure. The pressure on my lungs is hard too. I've been spending my days cleaning. There was a 12 year old boy sleeping in the room I now occupy but there's not enough room for both of us in here. The boxes I brought with me were used to pack his things into. There's still more but it will have to wait until Monday when we will go to Albuquerque to pick up those 5 boxes I shipped. Preston's ex Loren just left everything here. I'm grateful that there's a bed & dresser here. I will also have my own bathroom, once I clean it out. I've already taken steps to get established here. My car isn't totally emptied out yet but really there's no hurry. I won't be able to go anywhere in my car until next month. I used every penny I had to move here, probably more than that. Luckily Preston is hooking me up with the same resources he uses. Everything seems to be going well between my cousin & I, I hope it stays that way. Preston's case worker is doing a background check on me, I'm pretty sure everything will turn out fine. When everything does turn out find then his daughter will start spending time here because I'll be trusted alone with her. Loren has gotten herself into more trouble so unless she turns it around real soon she will lose custody of both of her children. I hope this works out for both Preston & myself, I would love to have a second chance to be a mommy. My phone doesn't work out here & the memory was full so it deleted some programs, I haven't talked to Mourad since I've been here & WhatsApp was 1 of the things deleted so now I can't sign in because there's no signal. I think that maybe it's not a good idea for me to go to Morocco right now. I don't know how things are going to work out with driving in Santa Fe for Lyft. It might not be worth the time, gas money or the wear & tear on my car. Mano does come into my room, sometimes she'll sleep on the bed. I miss Shallen, I haven't talked to her too much since I've been here either. I would like to go for a long walk but I'm afraid that my lungs wouldn't be able to take it. There are 2 mountain ranges here I can't remember the name of 1 but the other is the Rocky Mountains. Preston says that there was a big fire on the mountains in 2012 & they're still recovering so that's the reason there's not many trees. I finally brought in my bathroom bag with my medication so I'll be able to get some rest tonight, hopefully. I've been waking up with heartburn every night.
