What. A. Week.

I think I need a vacation from my vacation.  Too tired and totally stressed out has been my entire week.  And when I feel that way, nothing seems to go right.  Or maybe its "Murphys Law".  Or the pull of the moon.  Like they say:  "When it rains, it pours."  And I don't have someone I can lean on when 'shit' happens.

My son is visually impaired, and receives a small income from Social Security.  And now that's been reduced by $160/month because we moved.  (No explanations from them as of yet).

I've been trying to get him the state's medical insurance -- they denied his claim, and I filed for a hearing.  They called me a week later saying they denied it for the wrong reasons, said he's on SSI so he's covered, and asked me to sign a release to deny the hearing.  Which I did because I assumed......  *sigh*  This week in the mail?? Another form for a hearing on Oct 30th because his benefits were denied.  Of course, thank goodness I kept all the old forms.  The only thing I didn't keep was a copy of the release that was signed.  Working with the govt and their forms and red tape sure isn't a fun process.  All I want to do is get him set up so that if something happens to me, or when I'm gone, he'll be ok, ya know?

My pup was spayed, and she's been really needy this week as well.  Maybe she's having "abandonment issues" because I left her for five days *laughs* ok, maybe not, but ... pugs are people dogs, and needy already.  Add all this and man, I have this one glued to my side whenever I'm home. 

when it rains, it pours.
What else can happen?

Friday night, didn't sleep. It's been cooling off, so I decided to open all the windows and turn off the AC.  Bad idea!  Every little noise and she's awake, barking, roaming, etc.  I went to bed at 10pm.  awake at midnight.  Again at 2, 3:30 and 4. Then 5 and 6.  Finally I got up, closed the windows, the drapes, and settled in for an hour's nap.  And then the sun's up and she's rip roaring to go.  Its only 930am and I'm exhausted.   We've been outside, had our breakfast, been outside some more.  Can you say TIIIRED?  lol maaaan.
