Well I finally did it!

Today was kind of a dreary rainy day and so I did not do anything outside...or for that matter much inside either. After I washed, dried and put away the dishes in the sink I read the paper and since today was Veteran's day there was no mail so I got on my computer and checked email.

This got old after a while and I decided that I would start something that I have been putting off for a long time...I filled for Social Security disability. I guess I finally had to admit to myself that I was not going to get better and that I needed to start making it official.

I am not sure if it is the stubborn German in me or what it was but I just could not bring myself to admit it to myself; I guess I just did not like the mental picture I was seeing in my head and I kept wanting to go back to that youthful twenty-five year old I have always pictured myself as.

So after some four hours straight I finally finished all the online "paperwork" and submitted the forms to the Social Security office. Right now my butt is just about numb and my hands hurt so much from keyboarding so lone that this is about all I can write for tonight.

Wish me luck!
