Poor boy, rich boy ...steady boy!
He's still on his own, but has a job that pays well...parking cars, of all things...at the casinos. He bought a used BMW using my credit, he's not living with his girlfriend anymore, and he's still going part time to school. Looks great!
Dear God, hope it lasts.
Another year, what now?

I took a retail job at HomeGoods in September 2014, but now I think it's over. I did lots of hours before they opened on Oct. 12, but steadily less till now I haven't had any hours over the last 10 days. At 8.50/hr. I am not losing much but I needed to be busy again. I liked it but they know I'm on disability and maybe that's why. I don't feel I could write again, so I thought I'd try this. Doesn't look promising. I had trouble with their register...it's too much....it's customer service, returns, open a credit card, plus registering...too much for me. Maybe writing is, too. Don't know.....but I may have to find out soon enough. Can't live in retail obviously. What's left that I can do?

2014...and going fast.
April and my son just moved out. He's 18, and partially broke, but at least he's working. We all have to start somewhere. Some of us have to restart. I think I'd rather be 18 and looking ahead rather than my age and remembering. There's got to be a way to do both. Right? I guess I'm going to find out.

ONE MONTH IN - Jan. 30, 2013
Where did January go?
I'm feeling good, ready to entertain the thought of returning to work. Talked to a few people about that this week, possible employers. Don't know if it's meant to be.
Nothing much new otherwise. H. Clinton's moved on; Kerry is in place. Healthcare should get easier by year's end according to Obama's plan. Long wait, though. Been switched to UHC, because of Elsevier and so far, it's a mess. The deductible is outrageous! And my boys aren't even on my plan. Stefan's pills alone are $200+/month! Still trying to work through it.
My uncle's not well; my friend's husband is in hospice. Doesn't look like a great year if this is any indication. Still hoping things turn around....for someone.
Guess I'm glad January's over after all.

12/16/12 SYMPTOMS AND THEN, GRIEF/ANGER IN CT. I saw my neurologist this week, had another blood test for antibodies, and now am undergoing a third 3-day in-home IV of methylprednisone, with an MRI scheduled for next week and an appointment at Wills Eye Hospital for my double vision symptoms.
But then at the doctors office, she asked me about what was happening in the news. All I could think of was the fiscal cliff, even forgot about Sandy, the devastating hurricane that hit the NE coast. But two days later on December 14, a story out of Newtown, CT shot a hole in all of us. Another mass school shooting...an elementary school. Twenty 6-7 years olds gunned down and six staff. By a 20 year old asshole, who, fortunately killed himself, and sadly his mother.
Hideous nightmares like this always spark gun control debates, as it has done again, but never ever resolve them...or even address them in any significant way. Of course, a tearful Obama said it would this time, but we all know it will take the son or daughter of a rich pro-gun fanatic blasted to bloody hell before any of those idiots decide that guns are poison.
I know restrictions won't solve the problem, but it will make it harder for evil to attain the guns...or longer....or something. And what's wrong with that? Everything in life is difficult when it's worth doing. Besides, there's enough professional criminals out there to keep up our ever-growing record of senseless murder of innocents, without letting pissed off kids join the act. God help us all.

STILL ME.
I'm officially on disability now. I guess my medical HE history spoke for itself. Sometimes I feel it; most times I don't. Still I look for work; I need to feel a part of something. I feel strong inside, and eager to keep my wings on the fly. I'm honest with employers, though. Have to be. My work ethic is untouched. I still want to do and do well. In everything. My body may fight here and there, but I feel I can handle it most times. I can only know for sure if I try, and I will try. Over and over. I can legally work on disability, at least for a time; time enough for proof. And I will. I'm still the best of myself.

July 20, 2012 NEW DOC, NEW PROBLEMS
I anticipated problems once Dr. K left. They changed my next appointment to one with another doctor, moved it up a month and never told me. I have no record of it despite what they say (I always write down dr. appts.) and refuse to see another doctor; so I made another appointment with Lippa in December, 4 months later! Not happy.
