One Step At A Time

Its been about a week since my Dad passed away...   The first few days, I was basically laying in a puddle of tears, not eating or drinking hardly anything.  Eyes constantly red and puffy.   Hoping that Dad's spirit would be watching me and see how horrible I was doing, and decide that he didn't want to leave right now...   Hoping I would get a call that he suddenly and miraculously sat up!  And everything was going to be ok.    Even hoping that it was all just a big prank to get me to go back home (since he was begging me to come home)...

But as another day goes by and I hear one more thing about his funeral and all the arrangements being made regarding his house and belongings...   I realize that is not going to happen.

All this on top of the fact that my living situation is not permanent at all right now...   Or stable.  I have to take my next paycheck with all the money that was donated to me (which I can access on January 19th) and just fly out to California.  I'll have to stay at a neighbor's house while I pack up all my stuff out of Dad's house and put it all in my car.  

Then...    I don't know what I will do!  I don't know if I will come back here, or if I will stay in California and look for a job.   If I do that, I will be living out of my car, until I find a job.   Then even still, until I get my first paycheck.  

I just wasn't prepared for any of this and I'm not sure how I'm gonna handle it all.
