Hi Friends,
Been a while. Just wanted to stop in and say hello. I am doing alright. I was pretty upset when my reconsideration for disability was denied. The next step I guess is to get a lawyer and see a law judge. I need to get on that, but I'm kinda avoiding the topic the best I can. Mood wise I am doing better -- I went through a stint of depression but I am better now. Living at home is still causing me a lot of struggles of being reminded I am a burden. My mother even, multiple time, and in multiple ways "hinted" that maybe I should look at taking money out of my teacher's pension. I am a young and and I would love to go back to teaching at some time... I felt very angry by the assertion. It didn't seem fair.... however...

I have much more in my pension than I realized, and even with penalties I'm looking at around 11k. That would be a nice nest egg to get back on my own. I wanna get my ducks in a row first, obviously, but I'm contemplating maybe it will be my way out of this situation.

Anyway, nothing more to talk about really. I'm just floating in the stream of life. I'll be alright.
