Life for me has drastically changed since my disabilities took me out of the workforce altogether and it certainly has reflected here at Just Thinkin. Unfortunately at this point in time I’m rather hung up in limbo while I wait for several words from the VA, one of which whether or not they increase my disability comp or not. Another is for an appointment for yet another stomach PH test which is hopefully the last thing they’ll need to decide on the best option that might help my miserable gut.

This hurry up and wait is getting quite irritating to say the least.

So far I’ve been able to put aside what’s going to happen if the powers that be refuse the increase but the more I have to wait, the harder it becomes. I’ve got one more car payment I can make, one more insurance payment I can send and where’s the rest going to come from after the usual monthly bills are paid? There ain’t no more after that. There’s two lives that hinge on my lack of health and an organization’s decision and all I can do is sit here and wait. All the forms have been filled, all the phone calls have been made, all the appointments have been kept.

Hurry up and wait. Changes your state of mind as you might understand.

So if you happen to be wondering why the blog is somewhat awry of late…that’s the reason. Kind of hard to have a good "I’m lovin’ life" type of attitude when life has a good chance of quickly becoming a great deal more difficult.

Alright, enough complaining for now. Just bear with me and the blog while I deal with all this waiting. I mean, at least I did up another rather nice header image from my travels on the road.
