Last Minute Changes

When we are going to prison, we unfortunately must depend on other people a lot. But we must accept that we cannot control other people and we must respect them. First, they are doing us the favor. Second, they are free, we are not. Third, we have lost our right to control our affairs. This is hard to accept, but very true.

I had several areas where I was depending on other people to make my life easier - such as where my furniture and things would go, my school being timely in reimbursing me, and things such as that. Truth is that people are allowed to be on their own timelines, not ours. They do not need to help us, they can choose to. We must be grateful for each thing that does happen.

Because not everything is going according to my perfect plan, I am needing to change my plan, which is fine. Perhaps it is more difficult, but that's on me. Perhaps I need to make some difficult choices, but that is a consequence of my going to prison.

Currently, I must decide what I will do for at least a month with my household full of things, as my first plan fell through. Most options are expensive and would also require dependence on yet more people while I am gone. My scheduled moving day is just 9 days away, I have barely packed as well. These things must be taken care of - hopefully today I get my plan together!
