I’m back and I’m off
It’s been nearly a year since I posted, and what a year. Somehow I managed to take on an extra job teaching middle school, have a total physical breakdown, and quit them all.
I am now officially on federal disability. It’s been a month-long process of taking it in. That someone objective could look at my life on paper and decide I am disabled makes my daily reality more real somehow. It’s temporary, I hope.
It is hard to admit my plan has gone majorly off the rails, but here I am, admitting. New job: get my shit together. Pay attention to my kids. My husband. Don’t spend so quite so much time just surviving.
No better way to do that than to spend a month in the car and a pop-up camper traversing the soggy West while trying to get out of migraine status, right? Right.
So, off we go. Should be interesting. Will keep you posted.
