Jeff's Journal

So much for feeling better. I feel crappy today. I'm surprized I made it out of the house. I think this crazy weather has something to do with it. I saw on the weather channel that it's supposed to be 66 tomorrow but down to 34 Tuesday. Comcast is offering my all time favorite movie The American... Sign in to see full entry.

Almost feeling myself. Just like the old days before I had the seizure, the depression comes, stays for a few days and then leaves, no reason that I could see. May go to the church board meeting Monday. Could be long and dull but I'd like to find out what goes on and I could always leave. Been... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling a bit better, been a rough week. Almost move my appt with Dr Zhang up but since I'm doing a bit better I suppose I'll just hang on. Been having fun exchanging texts with Anita, but we don't seem to be any closer to actually going out together. Might happen eventually, might not. Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling sort of so so today. Was kind of shaky this morning but the weather has warmed up a bit and that usually helps. Tried to do too much yesterday. Did a bunch of writing and then went to class. Got to take it a little easier. Heard from Holly, my former coworker for Valentine's Day.... Sign in to see full entry.

Lisa seems to think I'm having a vasectomy in preparation to break up with her. I explained I'm doing it so I can have a better sex life with her.

Talked with the lady at Allsup about working part time while waiting for my appeal. Sounds like it's probably not such a good idea if I can avoid it. She said I would probably be denied if I were working at the time of the hearing. So I'm now at a point where I have about 3 months of money left and... Sign in to see full entry.

That was satisfying. I just talked to the manager of the Excalibur and got her to agree to refund my resort fee and let me talk to another manager later. Took a lot of persistence to get that far and I'm proud of myself. She said that the hotel doesn't give refunds for that sort of thing. I told her... Sign in to see full entry.

Denied again. I wish I could put those social security doctors inside my body and have them try to go to work. Then I would get my benefits. Of course it's really not that way. They know I'm disabled, they just don't want to give me the money I've earned, the money I've been paying in for the past... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling pretty durn good today. I think the trip to the gym yesterday and the swim today helped. Interesting about the people that have said about my slot machine winnings "That would never happen to me". Well with that attitude of course it won't. Sign in to see full entry.
