Heart i have the most wonderful parents in the world!

well ok they have their faults but....

guess what!

they have "observed" the fact that i have been more active lately... up and about more, what with the lots of cooking, also going out a little more, overall doing stuff in the house, or trying to...

they decided to gift me an annual city-wide bus pass for christmas!!! except, since the ticket price has just gone up, they are going to anticipate it - will do it as soon as we run out of the tickets we already have. as an incentive to go out more, and also just so i won't feel "guilty" if i just want to go somewhere and then it costs money for transportation!!! (which was a big consideration for me).

(when i was working, i had this type of pass, because it is the most cost-efficient way to commute using public trans. i paid for it myself then, of course. i stopped renewing it in 2003, after my last stable job.... ) i didn't move about enough to justify the cost.

so, thinking it was related to the job opportunity in november i asked if they didn't want to hold off and make sure that job panned out first. they said no, it isn't about the job, it's just that before they didn't think i'd use it - between physical problems, depression and anxiety, i tended to hole up - cost irrelevant). they said now they are seeing a distinct change and want to provide further incentive!

this is *THE BEST* Christmas present they could give me!!!!!! and i told them that, too.

Waves, that is great news. Especially when family can be kinda kooky at times with the unknown territory from every family to their own. That is awesome! Keep smiling!!

Hugs
