Hopefully I won't ramble too long here. Need to call the Social Security lawyer and do some other stuff around here.
What's happening in the Cook household? Well, Rick is finding more work, now to see if it holds and he can get the money coming in regularly in sufficient quantity. He is happier when he can get the work to do. We have contacted a lawyer to deal with Social Security and my application for disability. And that may eventually help things. However, being off my meds (because of no insurance to pay for them or to pay a doctor to prescribe them) is causing some setbacks. As is having to keep a "pain log" of what I am feeling like every day. When I can try to ignore it and pretend the feet don't hurt I can block more of it. If that makes sense.
A few more good thoughts would be nice this week. The probate court hearing is supposed to be Thurs. afternoon in Texas. Then we just have to wait for the judge to approve the distribution of funds. That will get us out of the hole and on our way to better health in lots of ways. (Including my Houston working "vacation" in Oct/Nov.)
So things are progressing. But slower than I would like. Would love to have more energy to get some sorting/organizing done, but we cope with what we have. And the temperatures are finally beginning to come down... it is actually supposed to get below 80° at night this week!!!!
Good thoughts going out to those who need them. Congrats and Happy Dances are being sent as appropriate. Thanks for being here and letting me vent occasionally.
