Doing better today.  Had to stick mostly around home to wait for a phone call from the disability pension that my long-term disability (LTD) providers made me apply for.  Did sneak out around noon for a half decaf/half hot chocolate...but hey I won a donut!  LOL.  Spent my day hanging out in the living room, finished reading a book that I started when I was away and then got bored so decided to rearrange the living room.  Hehe...been a long time since I felt like (and actually had the energy and motivation) to do that.  It was pretty easy though...we have hard wood floors so if you could lift stuff up a bit you could slide it and it didn't scratch the floor.  My lower back is a little touchy now but not bad.   Got my phone call...at almost 6pm!  But it was good news....I think.  They approved my application so I will be getting paid retroactively back to March 2008...minus whatever has to be reimbursed to my LTD provider. So hopefully that means a little bit more money per month.  It will still be another 6-8 weeks before I see anything though.   My dad said he's got some extra money and is willing to give me some and he's still going to go with me to the bank and see about a loan...or at least to see what options there are for me.  So I feel more hopeful about things.  I know God is going to work things out...there will still be hard times but He will provide.   Well, tummy is growling so going to go have some supper and then put a movie on.  Thinking I'll put Into the Wild on.  It sounds like a good movie and it's based on a true story.
