Help Kait & The Goblins Move Home!

Hi y’all, it’s Kait!

I had been planning to move back to Tennessee in a year after closing up loose ends and saying my goodbyes, but due to some recent circumstances, it’s been realized that I need to be back in Tennessee asap and am moving back at the end of march.

making this decision was not easy, as I have 5 cats, a dog, a turtle, and a career here. But what I don’t have is family, close friends, or many meaningful relationships at all here and it has become incredibly detrimental to my health, along with getting sober and needing to get away from such easy enabling while being alone here. On top of that, a death in my immediate family was a huge wake up call that I need to be close to my loved ones. Because let’s be real, I’m not young anymore and my priorities have changed. I am more than ready to grow up, move home, have a life and a family.

the past 8 years in Chicago have been rough but also beautiful. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my boundaries, and just how strong I really am. But overall, what I need is my family and my best friends and my support system that I’ve been so far from for so long.

moving home this time is a lot harder than it was when I packed up my car 8 years ago. I have a life here that I do not want to abandon and throw away to fit into my fore focus again. So I have a friend flying up to help me pack my uhaul and drive it back to Nashville. On top of that, I am not eligible for transferring to another Trader Joe’s and after this week I will not have a job, which threw another stick into the spokes of moving. The flight for my friend and the uhaul pretty much took up my savings, and when I get to Tennessee I will have to start immediately looking for work and a place of my own, so the donations will be going toward those moving costs and making sure that me and my pets have a safe and swift move, and a little cushion for a few weeks to make sure we aren’t a burden on anyone.

on top of that the donations will go toward basic moving costs such as new pet crates, totes, things like that.

any little bit helps and I mean that. I know I’ve had to ask for a lot of help over the years and I want this to be my final time to have to. I just want to be home and close to my family and be happy and sober, finally.

thank you if you even read this far. I get by with a little help from my friends and always have.
