Waiting to hear

I went last week for my disability exam. Was hoping to hear from them this week that I got it.  Got a letter today, and I need to call them within the next 10 days, or I'll loose. I'm wondering how much I'll get - if I get it. The county only offered $850, but my SS report from years ago said over $2,000.  Surely, teaching for 20 years and working since I was 13 should bring in a little more than the people I worked with at the homeless shelter who hadn't worked!  We'll see.
I haven't really felt like doing too much. I'd like to tutor, write, counsel, and do my crafts.  So far, I've been too tired to do anything.  I went to the grocery store yesterday afternoon, and today, I am so tired that I fell asleep this afternoon watching television!  I really hate that as I am used to working, and I can't understand why I can't get enough energy to do something!

Memorial Day

I'm looking forward to "retirement." I'm hoping to be able to do presentations on a variety of topics ranging from psychological to storytelling. I will be working on speeches and presentations in the future as well as making crafts to go on my daughter's and my websites - I love Etsy!
I also want to tutor as I enjoy teaching, and I want to write. There are a lot of things that I'm interesting in, and I hope to share information that I have learned along the way with others.

Wednesday

Still no word from my daughter and granddaughter, and the plane landed nearly 2 hours ago. Probably stopped someplace to do something! In my car and probably with my credit card!
I didn't get much done today with my crafting which was rather disappointing, but I was busy with a student planning a trip to Germany next summer. Can't wait. It's been 10 years since I've been there. It's probably changed a lot; thing's do, but it will certainly be great to be back there. I always feel as if I am home again - after all these years; my family came to the United States before the Revolutionary War, but it still feels good being there. When we come to America, we search out places that look like home.
