The second installment

Second installment of my rambling thoughts. I have been a little reluctant to write of late because I have been a little depressed, and I kinda thought, maybe it is not a good idea to write while I am not feeling so hot.  It has been brought to my attention that you have to write about what is going on in your life, unless you are writing fiction. I am not writing fiction yet.
     Many of you know that I have been off work since mid December due to COPD.  My money has just about run out, I will be losing my cell phone, and home Internet, probably tomorrow.  Now, those things are no tragedy to lose, but they are nice to have,  so I can communicate with everyone whenever I want to. There are other ways to get it done, just not as convenient as being able to do it from home.
     I am currently between short term disability, and long term disability. There is no money coming in right now. I know that a lot of you have gone through this process already, and are thoroughly familiar with what is happening to us. Running around from agency to agency,  making phone calls, searching for resources, and praying for someone to help. It really gets frustrating and disheartening. It can really make you feel helpless,  and useless. If I was working, we wouldn't be going through this. But I can't work. As I said, I know a lot of you are very familiar with this.
     I will say that through it all, we have been blessed with everything we need, just as the Lord promised. We get a little anxious sometimes, wanting Him to hurry up, but I think He has it all under control, and probably doesn't need any instructions from me. That's a little disappointing, since I am on top of the situation and could really give Him some great advice, but I suspect He has a very different plan from mine. Anyway, I just wanted you all to know if I am not as available as I used to be, this is why. It is a temporary setback, I ain't gone, just using different methods these days.
     I hope to be back working in the near future. I really don't know how long it will take to get back to where I can work, but I am hoping it is soon as this just ain't no way to live if you don't have to.
     This is sure not what I had in mind when I started this blog, but I may as well report what is. It may help you to understand my foul moods from time to time. I hope my next installment will be a little more upbeat. Anyway, I will sign off for now. Until next time....



Good night Chesty Puller, wherever you are.
