Overwhelmed by life and chonic pain...

I got ready to go eat lunch with my boyfriend's mom. She was fairly nice today, but she had a few "moments". When he was away from the table she launched into a sermon/rant about that he was drunk. Well, he does have a drinking problem, but this morning he was busy running to town and getting things done on my car. He wasn't drunk. Of course, she knows everything and I know nothing.

For instance, she thinks that my back should be getting better. Well, it's never going to get better. I've had 3 compression fractures and two disks are messed up. I also have arthritis in my spine and in my bones throughout my body. I told her I wish I could grow a new spine, you know like a lizard can grow a new tail; but it didn't work like that for people. She sort of laughed, but I think she might have got my point.

Well, it was nice to get out for a little while and enjoy myself. We have to go to Beckley tomorrow. I finally rolled over my 401K from the State of WV, so I have to visit my financial advisor. I also have a sizeable amount of backpay from my Social Security that I want to invest. I've been dirt poor my whole life, so I'm conservative when it comes to taking care of my money. I want to do so much while we're there, but I know it's physically impossible. I will just have to pick a few places to visit.

I definitely plan to visit the Soc. Sec. office. I had to send in original documents when I made my application. I had my late husband's Soc. Sec. card that was issued in 1938. It's something I planned to hand down to one of his granddaughters. They better not tell me they lost it. I worked for a state agency for almost 27 years. Things like that don't get lost.

I'm so tired, I need to log off and get some rest. More later...
