Checking In.

I hope everyone here is still hanging on. I am trying to. It gets so tiring sometimes, though, doesn't it?

I am trying to either work on something or watch humorous things today. I don't want to think about what is going to happen tomorrow. We are going to see this place that is barely within our budget. Which means it is an old place that probably had its share of problems. I don't care. It is a big place and I am an old hand at making things work. Assuming it is worth it.

We could use all the vibes anyone can spare for tomorrow morning. It is at eleven, I believe. Good vibes that the place is what we need and that they will want to let us rent it. My hubby looks so down these days. He knows the clock has started now. We have to get out of here and be able to survive. That will go a long way towards getting him to feel better.

I hope you are doing okay, XanaDUer. Please have no pain today.

The rest of you please have a good day as well. I can't say what my own monster will doing to my head, but today it is on the lethargic side. I hope to keep a decent mind for today. I hope you all do as well.

2. Oh, its tiring

I hope the place is affordable livable and Id grab it asap. He's gonna pay for the move? Be civil to his ass until that happens and then cut him out forever. Sounds like a sociopath.

Is there no way you can talk to a disability lawyer about getting ssdi? It took me 14 mos start to finish but the lawyer did 85% of the hard work. You'll feel better having more income coming in and for your partner.

Thinking of you both. I think this place will work out.

4. I have tried two times to get SSDI.

Both times I had an attorney. Both times, they said take a hike. The first was a three year battle that ended with a hearing. The second time is now four years and counting. No hearing yet, but the situation is exactly the same as before. (The first was in a different state.) So, I am not holding my breath. This time around, they did say that I was disabled, but they also said that my husband earns too much to qualify. (By something like $400.) They will not budge. Now with the new administration, I am not seeing much hope for anything from anyone.

5. Okay

I'm so sorry. I had the best lawyer in the state. Extremely lucky. Plus great drs and ten yrs of documentation.

6. Good vibes for you! May your new home bring you happiness and may it

Be nicer than you expect at the moment.

Wishing less pain for XanaDUer too.

Fed the crows their peanuts and a couple crumbled up stale cheddar biscuits I had made a few days ago. They seriously love my homemade bread, actually.

I have some bananas I am letting go overly ripe so I can make banana bread for my DH and me.

That’s about it for today. Have some housework to do. I exercise on the treadmill or walk outside each day. Which is more of an accomplishment than it sounds like because I have MS that has caused significant lower spinal cord damage. It’s good for me to exercise but it’s always a struggle. I miss the days I used to go on runs. But that’s life. Everyone gets health challenges when they get older.

Telling myself I should do some art but I just don’t want to anymore. Everything feels like, “what’s the point?” Except making banana bread for Dave because he will enjoy eating that.

Spending some time each day daydreaming about Dave’s retirement and us moving to Tucson. Where I won’t be cold for months and months each year. I really hate the cold.

Another 2 1/2 years. Or sooner if he gets fired from his fed position. His retirement is secure now, he will be okay unless they also take all of that away, all the pensions. All the SS, everything. If they take all of it away, half the nation or more will be in dire straits. But I think more and more, they want most of us dead, these agents working for Putin.
