Status Update March 3, 2016

Just a quick update that I finally got a court date for my Social Security Disability appeal hearing - March 29. I won't say too much about it here, just that I really hope I win because I don't know what I'm gonna do if I lose.

Now that the trial is a real thing that's happening I've been worrying about it nonstop, so much that I sliced the tip of my pinky finger last week cutting mushrooms because I was distracted thinking about what I had to make sure to tell my lawyer. So now I'm trying to find the right balance between thinking about the trial so I'm fully prepared, and distracting myself with other things so I'm not constantly freaking out about it.

I also got a little bit of illustration work through a referral from a friend from college who liked my Barb Ross stuff, which was really awesome. It was just a few hours of work spaced out over a few weeks, but it was so great to be able to earn some money and especially to get paid to draw. I had to plan it out really carefully and spent a week resting before I did it and over a week recovering in a ton of pain after, but it was worth it.

I'll post again after the hearing, hopefully with good news. Fingers crossed.
