So.
Here we are.
It's been an up and down (mostly down) couple years since I've last been able to work. The stress of having no money coming in for TWO YEARS (over that really when you consider the time I was on leave from work) really took it's toll. Family helped, but that did nothing for my mental state.
That changed today. It's not over, but the light at the end of the tunnel is growing stronger, and I'm 99% sure it's not a train. I had my disability hearing and the judge said he was going to enter a judgement of "fully favorable", meaning he agreed that A) I am unable to work full-time, and B) I haven't been able to work full time for two years.
It will allow me to pay my family back from my disability reward, and more important (at least to my long-suffering reader), it is a 9000 pound weight off my shoulders. I won't guarantee it will bring the Muse back to stay, but I'm Star Wars right now. Especially Episode 4. (or the first one, if you're counting chronologically)
You know. A New Hope?
