Week Ending 1/22

 The worst part about being sick is the paperwork. 

Seriously, it seems like every week or so I have another batch of paperwork to fill out for someone. This week was the Long Term Disability Insurance people. It feels like I'm constantly having to justify the fact that I am, in reality, sick... which is probably because that's exactly what I'm having to do. Thank the gods for my lawyer (never thought I would say that). He was willing to take a bunch of random notes and drafts that I wrote up and turn them into completed forms that I just need to sign. Same information, accurate and true... but also legible and with some of those lawyer-ly word choices.

After whipping myself out for a week crashing through SSA paperwork last time, I decided to take my time and not try to this packet all at once. I'm still not sure if that was a good idea or not. I didn't burn myself out crashing through it but I did have it hanging over the head for days on end. Sometimes, there just isn't a winning move I guess.

Otherwise, the week has been up and down. I had a couple of really rotten days, where I felt even worse than my usual not feeling good. I had a couple of OK days, but not as many as I would have liked. Still, I got through it. Sometimes that's the best we can manage but that's still pretty good.

Pretty snowfall out the window this morning... reminded me of those pretty snowy days-gone-by.

Onward

Week Ending 11/2

Hey, it's me... This week was better. Saw the new doctor early in the week about my jaw. He diagnosed TMJ and gave me some jaw exercises...
