I guess one thing that I wanted to share is that I recently moved. Last weekend I was in a bad way. It's no secret - just look at my past entries - that I have struggled with bouts of hard times.
So Saturday, after a few longs nights and hours of heavy contemplation, I packed up my stuff and left. I needed to get out of my home town - away from some feelings that I've been struggling to overcome. I had made a call that day to a guy whose number and add I found on Craigslist. The add said that their was a room for rent near the beach in Florida. I was sold. I arrived on Sunday night after a total of about 18 hours of driving.

I saw him from across the room. And edged closer.
Tall, white-haired, horn-rimmed glasses, a blue and white seersucker suit. Yes, seersucker. What can I say? It was a summer event on the water for the theater where I work - seersucker is always "in" amongst theater folks. But none of that caught my eye as much as the clear Medtronic Pump clipped to his grosgrain belt. I had to get closer. The pump, like a magnet, drew me.

"Oh, I'll just move out of the way - you guys are like a club." Said his wife "And don't forget to show her that other thing you have, Stan."

I’m sorry.
I know the first “no no” in blogging is to not post about why you have not posted in a while but still this must be addressed.
Life has been a major downer for me lately. My blood sugars have been through the roof, I have put on almost all the weight I lost while on Weight Watchers, and I moved.
First I will tell you that we had to move, we did not choose to. We were owners and are now renting a home. I am sure you can read between those lines. Being 35 with 2 kids and starting over is not only difficult but extremely depressing. The feeling of being a failure had been engulfing me for months. It has made it hard to write and share that with you all not only because of embarrassment but because I did not want to be a downer.

Both of my doctors, my endocrinologist and the doctor in charge of my bio-identical treatment, have sent disability status letters for me. It actually took very little effort, despite the initial feedback from the nurses in the beginning. I'm happy to get these out of the way and go forward with the process. I'll also be writing my own letter to support my case with a personal note.
