Just another day in the life of.......

So, it has been over 2 years since my last post, in which I was hoping to write more often........ Guess that worked out real well, LOL......

Anyways...... Last October I was put on disability for my severe and chronic back issues as well as the aggressive arthritis that has afflicted my hands and wrists......  After many different attempts my Doc has finally found something that works for the pain, well, at least a bit more substantially than anything else he had me try....... Which makes it bit easier to make it thru the day.......

And thankfully the retroactive SS settlement afforded me the opportunity to get my car fixed, buy a new bed that is better for my back to sleep on, and get a new recliner which is also way better for my back..... And I was able to give my kids a really great Christmas...... I know it's not about how much you spend on them or how many presents are under the tree...... But for all the years of living paycheck to paycheck and having to scrape by and not really be able to afford them most things they wanted and wished for, well it just really felt good to be able to afford to get them some things that they wanted.......

Also last October was my 20th HS reunion, Class of '95..... Well, actually I didn't graduate in '95, I had to go back for a 5th years for 4 stupid credits cuz my transcripts got messed up...... But be that as it may, some of my classmates on the committee insisted I go as I was in that class since 7th grade when I got skipped up........ So anyways, I went, and I had an amazing time...... I caught up with old friends and hung out and chatted with people who I wasn't friends with at all back in the day....... I guess it goes to show what 20 years and adulthood can do...... LOLOL

 Today is July 31st, 2016...... And in less than 2 weeks is the 20th reunion for the Class of '96, which was the actual year I graduated...... And, I have again been told that they insist that I go....... I'll have to see what happens at this one, I'm just hoping for the same friendly atmosphere as the other one...... And hey, I guess it's not bad when you're invited to double dip, HAHAHA!!!

This past week both of my gurlz finished up summer school...... So this coming school year both of them will be in high school...... Man, that's such a scary thought...... To think, they were only 3 and 1 when I got custody of them, and now they are 16 and 14....... I guess one wonders where the time goes...... 


Last November I pre-ordered the new Legion expansion pack for World of Warcraft...... Now I'm just counting down the days..... August 9th is start date for early play on the new Demon Hunter class that's available if you pre-ordered....... and August 30th is the release date for play in the new expansion world wide...... I'll finally have lots of new content to keep me busy when I can't sleep and I'm up all nite...... 

Since I started playing WoW in 2011 I have always played on the same realm and in the same guild...... After all these years, most all of the guild members have switched realms or stopped playing altogether...... So I think sometime in the next few months I am going to switch realms for my main toon and join the guild where some of my old guild mates have gone...... Lots of active players, and players who like to help out and do dungeons and LFR...... Seems like a pretty good guild to join!!!........ 

Now, I just can't wait to start leveling up my Demon Hunter!!!



 
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!!!!


 

Witty Title Here

So, I came across my Blogger page, which I apparently have had since like 2008 and I have yet to write anything..... So I figured nows a good a time as any to start.....

Where to start......

So I have been mostly unemployed for almost the last 2 years..... I've had a few temp jobs but just can't seem to find anything permanent in any of the fields I enjoy working in......

I'm 36 now, and going on 7 years ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes..... The meds I was on for it apparently weren't helpng and 3 months ago my Doc put me on Insulin.......
Also in the past 2 months or so I have been diagnosed with Arthritis....... And after an MRI, I found out I have 2 herniated disks in my lower back, for which I will be having a series of spinal epidurals for steroid therapy........ And all told everyday I take 17 to 21 pills plus 2 shots.......

As someone whole played organized sports since he was a wee lil lad all the way thru till I was 18...... And sure I'm a bit overweight but I'm nowhere near being obese..... And sure since I got out of high school I haven't been really active....... But I ask myself, how at 36 can I be this bad off physically??
I know people who are severely obese, eat as bad or worse than I do, are even less active than me and don't have nearly the issues I do....... I mean, it can't be all genetics can it???...... My dad didn't get the Diabetes til he was way older than I was when I got it...... My Nana had Arthritis, but she was in her 60's or 70's...... So what gives, why are all these things happening to me, and like all at once........
It's so very frustrating and discouraging because there are some things that I physically can't do or have a real hard time doing..... Which sux, cuz that means my job search is that much harder cuz I have to look for jobs that I can do with the limitations I have........

Well the semi-good news is just got a job today....... the semi-bad news is that it's only one weekend a month from next weekend to about mid-way thru December...... So it's a start, now to find something else either full time that can work around my one weekend a month, or maybe a few part time jobs that I can make a full schedule with.........
Either way I gotta find something, cuz I'm sick being broke and not being able to even little things with my kids like take them out for ice cream or anything.......

I think I've rambled on enuff for one nite.......


Catch Ya on the Flip Side!!!
