On the less-cool side of things, I've also done the following today:

  • Picked up a new (slightly larger) back brace to wear backward across my stomach.
    • Borrowed FIL's the other day and it worked wonders for surviving car rides.
    • Doesn't replace the Percocet...but it helps reduce having to take two of them to make a full car ride.
  • Called the unemployment office to try to fix the stuff I screwed up when I applied last week.
    • First of all, I erred when everyone was saying, "zomg! file unemploymentz!!!" Apparently you're supposed to wait until the day AFTER the end of the week you're terminated.
    • There were a couple other issues on the forms too, but we rectified most of them.
    • I won't qualify for unemployment until a doctor fills out the medical forms...which still need to be sent to me.
    • Granted, I also won't qualify until my severance pay comes in either...
  • Just called a couple of attorneys that specialize in labor / employment law
    • I ain't signing that separation agreement until I'm sure I'm not gonna be screwed on disability issues.
    • I don't get severance until I sign the agreement.

Another day, another evening that the nightly reports bombed...sigh.

2007

Me 07:24, 23 April 2007 (EDT)

I went to bed last night probably two hours earlier than I have been lately. Why is it then I feel like i went to bed two hours later than normal? Sitting up on the edge of bed was a supreme effort. When I finally sat up, it felt like I was wearing a football helmet and shoulder pads. Took me a good 20 minutes wandering around Fark and the guild forums for a bit to even wake up a little, but my head is still foggy.

At some point this week I go in for the hardcore cortisol test(s). We'll see if they can "fix" me.
