Tom's Journal...

6/13/99

I have chosen to not accept phone calls [except in an emergency or for something pressing] after 2130... That means that my Payee has chosen to not call at all. <shrug> Everyone must make their own decisions. At least she will help me with my budget today.

I don't know what is going on in that end... but-it is clear that as my Commanding Officer on...the Seattle as I recall said often, "If it is to be, It is up to Me..." and as I have tried to do since waking up, I am trying to do it...

I have worked daily at storage with exception of Wednesday with my councilor. I can manage about 3 hours plus driving...

I have gotten some stuff moved to the small storage. I have given many of my clothes that no longer fit to Salvation Army. I may have someone interested in my brass lamps. There is a TBI survivor who is just getting out and back to work, but very well could use some furniture <!> and I will try to get with him this week [if possible] to help both of us out...

I took some stuff from storage and put it in the back of the truck to throw away yesterday. I will get with my payee today about my budget, and then take another stab at storage for throw-aways that I will bring back here to toss...

Brain hikes have lessened last two days [thank God...] but my sleeping meds [now shifted to "Vistaril] don't seem to do much for me. It takes me sometimes 3 hours to get to sleep, then I wake up 3-4 times a night... I also however, have started to dream! That's neat! <G>

Friday I have an appointment with the doctor about the meds-we'll see... apparently the new meds always cause sleepiness... Perhaps I've not taken them long enough?

At this point however, it is of little matter-my ADD symptoms seem to be comming back with the lessening of brain hikes... and that is... GOOD for now-I have much, much to do at storage and my shed...

If I am to eventually become a cabinet maker, I need my shop and I want it all done by the end of the month....

I managed to call my best frined Saturday... I really miss being back in Michigan... this trip out here was a mistake... Nothing I can really do about it but complain a bit... Still... If I can manage the $$ I will take a train back to Michigan, perhaps in the fall to visit...

Well... that's all the words that are fit to print today,

Take care,

Tom...
