"So far I don't see any benefit to moving here, you're still sick" - my 9 yr old daughter
Insert knife in heart and twist.
So, we are settling into our new town still looking for a rental to live in! So far we've seen 4 and none of us really loved any of them. So on we go.
We did get to go to a farm yesterday though and pick vegetables and play with chickens, goats and bunnies! I had a great health day yesterday. Went to the farm, looked at two houses. It was my first truly "good" day since we arrived on the island. All I can say is thank goodness I have 9 years worth of evidence that I in fact DO feel better here because otherwise I would be convinced we moved here for nothing. Like my poor daughter is.
For this upset little girl keep in mind there was a huge parade right on our street on the 4th of July, and that night we WALKED to the BEACH to watch fireworks with like the whole town, in 75 degree weather at night. Yesterday we went to a farm and then they went to the pool. They've gone to the beach 3 times. Some would see those things as benefits. But for all I can justify in my head that she's "just sad because of the move, she's feeling anxious because we have no permanent place to live, she hasn't made friends", etc it still worries me beyond belief that maybe she's right.
