24. Not too bad, I accomplished a couple of tasks today that I was procrastinating on.

My sleeping patterns are erratic. When I left the crisis center I hardly slept on Monday night or during the day on Tuesday. I was having auditory hallucinations on Tuesday night and only had an hour of sleep that night also. I finally slept decently on Wednesday night, but last night was also only about an hour again. Thus far for the week I'm averaging about 4 hours which includes naps.

I feel like I'm making some headway on the SSDI process, but did see one job opportunity that I'm going to apply for back in Irving. If that doesn't work out and the disability is approved then I'll probably end up in Georgetown and see if I can take classes in the senior university of my alma mater. I might be able to tutor again or do volunteer work, but my days of working 50 hour weeks and more are done.

I understand the kinship about posting in the state forums. I consider that as my legacy and contribution to society. With the news today about the Perry indictment it might be enough to tip this state blue. Abbott is trying to play up his Hispanic wife and MIL in his campaign commercials to reach out to Hispanics, but I don't think he will be able the wool over their eyes like Bush did when he ran for governor. Seven out of the eight largest cities in Texas lean Democratic with Arlington being the holdout. I'm beginning to doubt if there are enough votes to make up the difference. People seem to be disgusted with the political scene in Texas and I can sense a change could happen in the election this year. I didn't feel this way a few months ago.
