Wednesday, September 3, 2008 | A General Update story

Wow, .. have certainly neglected this journal. Update long overdue.  I closed on the house on July 1 and have been "moved in" since.  It is great to have a place to leave the dog safely, .. inside or outside.  Nice fenced yard.  House needs some work, .. it was built in about 1935, but it's all brick, on a corner lot, big yard(s), rear alley, good parking, ... I am happy with it.

I'm enrolled in a PTSD program and start first meeting Sept 8.  Looking forward to that, ... I know no one here in town.  Some contact with other people will be nice.  I stay inside too much,.. one of the symptoms of PTSD.  Since moving in here, I REALLY isolate, and the bimonthly meetings will bring me out of the house a bit.

That's it for now,... things are much improved from a couple of months ago.

    Was reading your journal and you sound like a good person, just caught in a rough place without much help.
    I'm a vet, VA retired, have many pain issues, and am depressed most of the time.
    Write back if you will. Take care! david
