It's just past noon time and I've replied to emails and sent a few photo's to a cousin in NY. Fed the birds & squirrels outback and fixed 2 eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast. Need to write a llst of priorities and get it done before I turn in my car to the bank. Still no funds and I won't ask to borrow from family or friends as they already been wonderful to help me with the electric, phone, and printer ink and paper for the upcoming occupational illness claim. They have bills and enough is enough. Bottled water, food and whatever else I can think of today that will help me go without transportation. Feel like a soldier who's digging in and waiting for the enemy to surface or make the first offensive move. With bad health and the falling of those comforts many take for granted, I can only wait on SSA now to see how bad thing will get before they get better... Will be writing again soon. Love and peace to all.

Waking up early with reeling thoughts of what familiar comfort will vanish next? My car, the electric, phone or my home of 20 years? I stayed up late trying to put thoughts into order to write a letter to an attorney about rescinded disability insurance on the auto loan (see 9/20/03 entry!). Won't do any good in time, but at least I stated my point of view to somebody. So lets see.... Auto Payments 2 months behind, same with phone. Mortgage about that or more, and elec is one month behind or about $1,600 in the negative while waiting for medical evaluation from SSA to complete. About 114 days of waiting to date on the medical review since SSA received my claim form. No income for approx. 120 days! Can't neglect mention of $130.00 dollars of medical co-pays and doing without 1/2 of the meds due to the cost of my co-pays. Again, the Occupational Illness Claim is the only thing that's even kept me in a position to receive medical care where waiting for SSA Dsiability. Things would be much worse by now if that claim and the company's attorney wanting to go the distance allowed by Florida Comp Law for investigation which gives 120 days for this plus some extra time if the court has to schedule a mediation. Of course this also drags out the co. paying the 66 2/3 % of lost wage earning too. So strange for my mind to stay so busy bothering remembering it all. The body is so exhausted and tires so fast! Soon the mind will follow when it realizes there's little usefulness in fighting the system. I still suspect the car will go back to the dealer, no time, energy or money to battle Resource Life on the issue. The phone and elec will eventually be cut off and SSA will as common practice deny my claim forcing the extra time of my appeal... I have no choices but to wait and continue praying for a little luck or handout along this journey. I remain humbled by family and friends who've tried to help... Another clearing of thoughts in my blog spot! Love and peace to all....
