Ok,maybe i shouldnt do this but with it being the holidays and i see everyone going about their lives..Here it goes...I've been trying for almost 2 years to get SSI for my arthritis,and my lawyer tells me it might be another 11/2 for a court date,i just dont understand why it takes so long,my bills are piling up,i have no money,cant work cause i hurt all the time and my family has turned their back on me and the friend i live with is getting on my nerves and my daughter just had a bad seizure yesterday and need to go see her but i have no car since my car broke down and i live out of town from her so i have to wait till my friend is off work to see her and my granddaughter..So i just want to get my life back on track and do my own thing with all my stuff around me instead of in storage...Anyway thanks for reading..How was your day?

I know what you mean about life being in storage, the waiting around and its really hard to be so dependant on others. All this while in pain. It sucks. I really hope you get to see your daughter soon. Its good to have a vent. Take care. Hugggsss

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
