Well I'm done moving and nearly finished organizing my new place.
It's actually very cozy and I'm sure to enjoy it.
Even though I'm applying for disability it still may be several months before I get it and even if I do I'd barely have enough to live on.
I enjoy working a great deal but as you know by now it's almost impossible to do, so now I'm trying to think of ways to make a bit of "living" money.
In the next few days I'm going to set up a free website and offer signed copies of my poetry and other writings, including the expanded version of the "Ab Actus". Prices will be very fair and hopefully I can make enough ($200 a month) to get by.
Anyway thats whats going on over here :)
Moving, Day 107:26 Apr 20 2008

Today was the first day of moving for me. Usually it can take up to a week for me to move but over the past year I have had to cut back on the things I carry with me, so hopefully it'll only take another day or so.
Went to lunch around noon at a local pizza shop with a friend who's helping me move. An old friend of hers came up and joined us for a while. This friend seemed like a nice girl and had a good disposition, I'm trusting she'll stay around.
After lunch we got a bottle of wine (family Vineyard of course) and some cigars to have after the day was done. Spent about $60 all together so it wasn't too bad.
We were able to move the living room and part of my bedroom. Once we got the larger things moved I was able to start to "fix up" my new place and organize it. I'm used to having massive amounts of space but in my state of decline I think the smaller place will be good for me.
After the day's moving was done (around 9pm) we went to my usual haunt and had a nice dinner. Surprisingly I wasn't in as much pain as I was expecting so I'm very thankful.
It's now 1:20am here and I'm looking around what I've got left to do, it isn't much and seems so quiet and sparse of life. I won't be officially living in my new place until tomorrow, I'm not sure how this last night of relative freedom will go. Perhaps I'll drink the last of the wine.

Well I've finally given in to the calls for me to go on disability.
Due to my chronic back pain ,and other issues, I have been forced to stop working. Instead of looking at this as a negative I am going to turn it into my early "retirement".
I probably won't have the disability services until the end of Summer but I am in a position (thankfully) to sit back and relax.
I have tried my damnedest to work and be a regular person but that's something I simply can no longer do.
As time and health permit I am going to volunteer at a pharmacy for low income people and families. This way I will be giving back to society and still doing things that I love...helping others.
