Turned mattress last night, woke without back pain. Wth? Is it the cortisone? I had to take the opportunity

Start receiving SS and medicare this july. Not in anyway enough to live on. Will have to keep working...

 Till I hit the cut off point of The $23,400 you are allowed to make this year while getting the SS. My back is completely shot. Bad arthritis in neck and shoulders. Bad knee... Bad everything.

I have started online application for disability, which I guess can take years and several attempts ..  I used to think the "senior living in my van" videos were fake. . wow. . used to think the USA was great now the truth is just wow. I had retirement/divorce money in two tax free CDs but blew through those in my last, heavy-drinking-for-a-job years.

 The Guest House

" This being human is a guest

house. Every morning a new arrival:

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor. Welcome

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture, still treat

each guest honorably. He may be

clearing you out for some new

delight. The dark thought, the

shame, the malice, meet them at

the door laughing and invite

them in."
