too much free time?

oh god, I think I've got more than I can handle going on right now, but that's what seem to happen anyway :. I've got a few tank projects going on. Hopefully this one will be up and running soon http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/damon-sarahs-20g-low-108400.html. and it will be a lot nicer than what I've got now. Then I can redo my 55 and use my nice pump, and ATS that I've made, and on and on.

I guess I really do have plenty to do most of the time, it's just that I spend a lot of time thinking about what to do next and why. It just feels like it does not matter much compared to when I was working. I know money is just a means to a ends, but for some reason it just seems to feel more fulfilling to do something at work than at home. I bet this sounds crazy to all you people that spend lots of time at work and don't get to work on your tank much.

 

All good suggestions, and I enjoy most of them. I have not tried models and don't know if I'd have the patience for them, but that's a new idea. I'm trying to learn more about carpentry, and I knit and crochet ;D sometimes to pass the time. They are great for keeping calm and making little things, but some how I still end up with 2-3 hours a day that I'm trying to just fill.

 

I'm a dialysis patient, but I do really good with it. I can do most anything (other than eat what you do lol) that normal people can do, but I'm told I should not do much because of the why things can look on paper and the red flags that can come up on computers. It's complicated. I'm also told I should not work, because I'll loose coverage and go into debt big time.

 

I work for a major Medicaid HMO Insurance company and I know the benefits and elig. differ from state to state but knowing PA benefits even if you work, anyone that is a dialysis patient is covered reguardless of income. They are considered medically needy, even if they have a job and commerical coverage we can still be used as coverage. I would check into that. Our company does handle other states (Nj,Indiana,Kentucky,Louisiana, South Carolina ect....) just not CA

 

Totally. Good luck.

 

You don't need to be physically handicapped to be disabled.

 

ok enough time whining..... or should I say WINNING!. I'm going to go do some dishes or something. Thanks for listing to be complain, it's really not that bad. I'm just whining.

 

I know this. I was just confused as most folks who are too disabled to work usually have physical or mental handicaps. I apologize for generalizing. My husband is also disabled and unable to work (broke 70+ bones in his legs and developed permanent nerve damage) but he is unable to collect. I can't explain any further than that without violating the UA so I'll leave it at that.

 

I know there are some ways I can try to work, but it's tricky. I've had two social workers tell me that I should just leave it alone and the chances of me getting in a worse situation is really high if I "rock the boat". I've talked to 2 people down at the clinic that say they are going into debit pretty hard each month and they just pay the minimum so that they can't get in trouble. I understand that this is the way for me to get my life back to what they call normalcy, but it's just been really hard to understand. There gets to be a point that my brain just fries and I can't really understand all the little things in the fine print, but I'm working on that.
