Finally made it back to work after being out exactly a month. Ms Hamlin seems to think my retirement may not be approved. I can't imagine. It's clear to everyone that I'm too sick to do the job. I'm sure they've had other people with depression retire on disability. If they don't approve it I guess... Sign in to see full entry.

It's back to the saltmines tomorrow for two more weeks assuming nothing's changed. I'm sorta hoping I got a quick approval and they'll let me retire a little earlier than planned. If I have to work the whole two weeks well that's still not very long. On the other hand, there's really no point in my... Sign in to see full entry.

You can find out some interesting stuff hanging around facebook. I just learned that my old high school classmate John Gill is gay. Didn't know that before. Kind of makes him more interesting. I saw that Diane was on facebook too. I added her as a friend, it will be interesting to see if she lets... Sign in to see full entry.

This is the best I've felt in awhile. I had forgotten what is was like to feel good. I think I was right not to go to work today, I needed one more day of rest. Now I'll be fit as a fiddle when I go back Monday for my last two weeks. Sign in to see full entry.

I'm feeling better though not 100%. I've already started an internal debate about going to work tomorrow. I'll be up to it if I don't get any worse.

I think maybe I'm kinda sorta maybe there's a chance I may make it back to work tomorrow. I'm feeling a bit better. Famous last words. Either way only 'bout two weeks til retirement. Yay! Sign in to see full entry.

I was bound and determined to make it in to work today--but I didn't. Don't know why I'm so upset, I'm getting some rest and I don't really need the money right now because of the car settlement. I do think I'll try to get out earlier tomorrow, even if I don't go to work. Sign in to see full entry.

Well I made it to the dance and had a grand old time despite not feeling my best. Met a young lady named Gwen, a real sweetheart. Not going to pursue her aggressively since I'm already dealing with Anita and Lisa but I will keep an eye out for her at future dances. Also had a nice chat with Janis... Sign in to see full entry.

Well despite being off three weeks, mostly without pay that settlement I got for the car is more than keeping me afloat. More than $5000.00 in checking, enough to keep me afloat for three months if I'm reasonably careful Feeling better about the Anita situation mostly because I'm too sick to care....

Well I'm feeling more like myself, but not completely well yet. Maybe tomorrow I can clean up my room and car and find my missing stuff. Then I'll go back to work Friday if I'm up to it. Sign in to see full entry.
