State of the Cougar - December
9 months ago
Hey folks,
Been a little bit, but time for an update.
We've finished moving in with the in-laws and sold our house. One of the hardest decisions we've had to make.
My in-laws are always fighting with each other. I hear them screaming at each other every day and all I can do is put on some headphones and try to stay out of it.
Still dealing with medical issues of course, but that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Still trying to get medicare and disability. Had a physical exam with a social security doctor... now waiting again. Sad part is, I can have a hundred doctors say I am disabled and some bureaucrat decide I'm not. Gotta love government programs. I did sign up for insurance through the ACA but it's not what I call "affordable". It'll kick in after the first of the year, so hopefully then I can get the treatments that will help me a bit more.
Almost have my computer setup again and when I do I'll be trying to stream again.
Only other big news... tomorrow I turn another year older, even though I look alot older then I am some days. There were times this last year I wasn't sure I'd make it to another trip around the sun, but by some miracle I have. Here's hoping I can make it to a few more.
Losing my friend Glacierwolf a few months ago to cancer makes me think of the fact my own father didn't make it to 60 either and Glacierwolf was my age. Makes you think sometimes...
Well, that's all for now, I'll see y'all around. Till then, stay safe!

I hope you have a happy birthday tomorrow, and that you get the support you need in the coming year.
Take care friend.
There was a time the two of us had to move in with my mom. It was hard and not the best of times, but we survived and moved on. I hope you find your way forward too.
Still, good luck man. I hope the in laws fighting doesn't get you too down.
