government red tape

For the last 2 days, I have been on the phone non-stop trying to get my long-term disability benefits coordinated. I havent had income since December, and if it wasnt for my Mother... thank God for mamas! They are dragging their feet, and are requesting information over and over that they already have from myself and my doctors. This should be illegal. I think the whole system is designed to make you just give up and become a wandering homeless person who holds a sign beside the highway off any given exit ramp... "Will work for green beer since it's almost St. Patrick's Day!!" Good GOD, do I wish I could go down to Limerick Junction in Virginia Highlands with my friends. I know the place is going to be packed all day long! There's nothing like a bunch of drunk Irish wanna-be's listening and laughing to real drunk Irishman playing his songs for the crowd. Memories.... :) - I sold 13 t-shirts for St. Paddy's on Zazzle. The most popular design was: My shamrocks are bigger than yours. :) There were some pretty awesome designs for this fab holiday on there from other designers and artists, so I felt lucky and honored to have sold that many. To your right, is a painting I did last spring right when I first opened my ebay art store. It has since been sold, but I had to post the image because I feel like I am juggling the entire world right now. If I could just have income again... it sure would relieve a lot of stress and anxiety. What do other people do who have no one to fall back on in a crisis? There's got to be a better way than the current system.... there just has to be. Again, thank God for my Mama.
