So much going on!
Yup I still know what LJ is and I read it pretty much everyday, not that most use it anymore.
Things have been nuts to say the least. I've been trying to figure out and get my migraines under some form of control and it has been a losing battle. My last attempt at treatment was Botox injections. Since I had a migraine before the 30 injections I have no idea if it is working or not. Sucks to say the least!
Due to the above crap I've started the Disability process. It was going kind of smooth till this week. I got a package returned to me for it not being complete with income information. They send it back with all kinds of red stamps and then they highlighted 90% of the paperwork to indicate what is needed and I failed to supply. I don't know what I'm going to do since it is asking for pay stubs from over 2 years ago and all I have is w2s. It is something I need to look at and try to complete today or tomorrow. Right now we could really use this to actually be approved, but I know that isn't likely.
Another fun thing in life is Dave still being unemployed coming up on 8 months. He got the state unemployment for 6 months and the federal government has stopped there funding. So he has no income coming in and he awaits to see if the fed will approve a 5 month extension. It is effecting a shit load of people and I realize that. I've never seen anyone apply for so many jobs and not get responses, I can only guess how hard this is for him. Dave has always provided for us and that is how he likes it. He has always done what we needed and him not being able to know is killing him. We are honestly lucky for savings and I'm lucky as hell for him, no matter what is happening. Anyway, due to all that is happening Dave's brother has offered us to come live with him till things settle out. HUGE offer and one that I'm grateful for since he didn't need to include me in this offer. It looks like Dave will give notice on our apartment for us to move to his brothers on the 1st of June. I however am not sure I will be going with Dave, not breaking up but me staying with my mom and him with his brother. My anxiety at the THOUGHT of living there and not having my own space to deal with my migraines and NOT be social (because I'm seriously not) if I want is making me nuts. I feel like every moment I spend in our room/space that is not bedtime is going to be rude. Anxiety again because I don't want to be rude to someone who is being so generous, right? I don't know. I'm going to see Red this week and just talk it out before I decide one way or another. She's been in a similar spot so she is a great sounding board.
Mom - ha ha ha
So I can live with her till things settle and even bring our babies (ratties) with me. Huge plus! SUPER HUGE ISSUE - my mother is in the process of being foreclosed on and needs to find her own place to live. Quickly! So yeah, I could live with her, help her pack her shit, move again and then go with Dave anyway since once she moves she isn't going to be able to have me and the ratties with her. UGH!!!! As a side note I am dealing with my mother and her crap while dealing with ours.
Bonus in life right now is a pending trip to NC. It is operation Maverick and I'm playing co-pilot with Red and then we are staying with the her daughter, husband and baby for a week. I can't wait to see them and get to see my friends in NC while I'm visiting. Red is insisting that I see them and what is Dave saying with all that is happening - get out of here and go enjoy Red and the kids. That I deserve this vacation, I deserve it. That crazy man needs a break from life more than I do. You will never catch me saying I'm not lucky, because I would be a fool.
*sigh* Life is nuts as hell right now and I'm scared. I'm tossing my hands up, doing what I actually can and hoping for the best.
