I saw my pdoc on Wednesday afternoon and she's extended my long term disability through June 2016. The ultimate goal is for me to try to work 12- 15 hours a week and let disability do the rest through my maximum benefit, but I'm nowhere close to being able to work.

I am on disability through my previous employer, through a state employees retiree program. I feel fortunate because I didn't qualify for SSDI - not enough work quarters. I lived in western Canada for nine years and didn't come back to the U.S. until December 2011, so I only had 12 work quarters I needed out of 20. Nowhere close to qualifying.

I'm very grateful to have this disability extended. I panicked for a good week before the appointment. I finally slept well on Wednesday night.

It is true that Ambien is now known as one of the only or few drugs that you have to cut the dose of by 50% for females. I'd still take the full dose as well but at the start it would be good to know that so you would have gotten the benefit of having longer recreational and medical effects.

I'm so tired. I'll take a picture of the pumpkins lol I think they've thawed.

That sounds good! I should get some BBQ sauce. I used to bake eggplant slices and then eat them with BBQ sauce.

My mood has fallen. Partly because the noise from downstairs is still going on and I have a nagging tension headache from it.

Do you mean the screen keeps going to landscape? You can use "Portrait Orientation Lock" to stop it switching when it leans over or whatever....

Just swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap on the padlock with an arrow around it symbol...

Pfft, I was just coming to do my good morning post. Patience is a virtue Neil...

So without further ado, good morning everyone!

And yes, clear out went well... got the last of my possessions out of my parents house & helped my Dad with some of his stuff too.

We're almost off to go down to St. Andrews now... looking forward to seeing the cats. Will be going over to see my sister & her family on Sunday (although I think my nephew/niece will be dropping by to get their Halloween candy tonight too) then on Monday it's off to the cinema to see Spectre & out for a joint birthday dinner in the evening. (my Dad, Mum & I all have our birthdays in October) So, lots to look forward to!

In other news, I didn't get an interview for that job I applied for. Shame. I found another one to apply for though, so hopefully I'll have better luck with it.
