Thank you, Roxann, and yet again, splendra! HP is definitely in charge. My husband just doesn't understand how I stay so cool, but I know there's no point in worrying. Now...I have to go take a pee test and get that display board!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Thanks so much, Cathy! It's great to hear from you!

So I picked up the display board but I haven't opened it yet to see how much work I might have to do on it. We'll see...

Thanks, cw! It's actually my brother's saying. I just stole it. I love your avatar! Cats have been on my mind even more than usual because I just lost my eighteen year-old...My word, speak of the devil, there's Miss Mariann at the window with a dead bird for me. No, honey, you are not bringing that thing in here. LOL...Anyway, I put a post about that in the Grief and Loss forum. That's probably been my biggest challenge in my almost two & a half years in recovery, having to have Patsy put to sleep. I do miss her.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

OK, I'm heading out here in a few minutes for my hearing! The nice skirt I was going to wear didn't fit anymore 'cause I've gotten too fat, so I don't look as professional as I'd like. Oh, well, too late now. Keep those fingers crossed, everybody!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

To me feeling better is more important than looking better. Looks can be deceiving.

Thank you, Bob! They could tell I was feeling better, too. Apparently it shows on my face.

Well, it looks like I'll have to go before the board again in June (possibly). They want some documentation about my mental health. I'm a bit disappointed. Who am I kidding, I'm pis***. But I guess it could have been worse, huh? I see my psychiatrist tomorrow and I'm sure he'll be glad to vouch for me, so it's really just another delay, not a big obstacle.

I need to go post some gratitude now.
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Eddie, things will all come together in the time they were meant to. I know it is so hard to be patient when we want something, but it will be so worth the wait. You deserve all the happiness in the world sweetie.

You are in my prayers.

Love ya,
Hope

Hope,
Thank you again! Yes, I'm being good and patient. I think now I can go ahead and look for work at least. It should just be another month or two before I'm good to go!

Saw the shrink this morning and he's going to call my board and find out what exactly they want so's I can go back to work.

Bought the paper products (plates, etc.) for the luncheon tomorrow. They are blue like the Basic Text. Cute, huh?

Tonight, well, in about an hour, I leave for my professional recovery meeting. Should be interesting to see what they have to say about my hearing and all.

I am still kind of :sweat about tomorrow, so can I have some more prayers tonight? Thanks!

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Eddie,


Wow you have so much strength. I'm praying for you and hope you made it thru your week alright. With all the things going on, don't forget to take a moment to breathe and just let yourself relax. I admire you ambitious spirit and I think you have a shining light and positive vibe that I felt while reading your post.

Keep working hard at your goals and things will fall into place.

Hugs,
C
