Firstly sorry for missing a day. Yesterday was a super full day and I just didn’t have the time or energy to sit down and write. So again I apologize, I appreciate you all, thank you for reading and especially thanks for the assistance!
Well we might as well talk about yesterday. Woke up really early. Not feeling well at all. Went on with the morning until my doc opened. I called to remind her that I only had one day of meds left. She got them all called in right away. We are on the verge of a medication change and those can be fun… After that I tried to chat with my buddy UB but I was all squirreled out on other things and then the in home nurse stopped by to check in. So sadly I didn’t get to chat, hope he’s not upset. Probably not. I’m doing better but still not well enough. Next for the day was the trip for meds. I need groceries but I keep putting it off because my food card doesn’t refill until the 9th. I never realized how expensive it is to eat. If anything these things (basically a monetary funds) will be my downfall. They don’t give me nearly enough “food stamps” or “ebt” to cover food, for just me, for the month. I end up spending at least an extra $50 or more. This month I just don’t have the extra monetary funds so cup of soup it is until the card recharges. Meh cup of soup tastes good enough but man would I kill for a philly cheese steak. After that messed around with designing, cutting and putting on a gasket for my new present, the 3D printer. I’m still beyond excited. I mostly worked on getting that setup and slept the rest of the day until that last night.
Last night was dang fun. I took extra meds to be sure I could make it the full evening. My buddy from the next town over came to picked Dart and me up. We got some KFC, hung out at his place for a couple hours and just chatted. It was really fantastic. He’s one of my best friends and now that he’s a little closer I hope to see him more. It’s hard though, he’s got a family and responsibilities. Folks with lives generally don’t have time to drive a 45 minutes round trip to just hang out with a boring guy. I really appreciated it and I really really enjoyed the conversation. I get a little here where I currently reside, but my other friend is more of the silent type. From time to time I get lucky. Heck half the time I can’t tell if he’s just being normal or upset or not feeling well, lol. Anyway, good times, nice conversation on the way home. Only mistake, because he makes good coffee, I let him make me one. I was wired for hours lol. It was fantastic though, thank you Cody!
Lawyers are still fighting for my SSI / disability. Seems to be an endless cycle of crap and with the government crashing down around us, it isn’t speeding things up. They will give me hundreds of thousands of dollars in health insurance though the “same” department but won’t approve SSI for a person that is clearly disabled. Every doctor, medical professional and other were shocked to hear the response. I’m still just at a loss on this one.
That leads to Oregon Energy Assistance (government program, federally funded I think). I usually get a donation for propane yearly. Last years donation lasted all winter no problem. I’m pre-approved for this year too… except every time I call they say “We currently have no funding and no time frame”. If not for the government delaying me at every turn I’d be much better off in terms of income, quality of life, etc… So I will be starting over my fund raiser to keep me warm until they can figure their shit out. I rarely curse on here but that is total shit. I’m preapproved. It’s not my fault the government can’t get their crap together… and guess who suffers from it. US! Specifically me in this point. Uggg enough of all that. Onward!
So got the new printer in, going slow, there’s a small learning curve with this one but it’s so disability friendly! I have very little difficulties using it, fantastic brand (Elegoo) and the supporting equipment makes things much more simple. Who ever purchased some 3D print resin for me off my Amazon list, CONTACT me, I will print and send you something of your liking! So far I’ve printed twice and my pro printing buddy is helping me learn the DLP (Direct Light Printing), how to setup the models, tips, tricks and tweaks! He’s awesome, thank you Marc! I’ll post a picture of some prints soon! Maybe do some video or live streaming! We shall see what the new med and life brings.
So overall things are going well. I’m obviously going through a tougher time due to the meds not being right and as always money (broken record anyone)… but I’m maintaining. I’ve got tons of physical donations that are helping so very much!!! I’m still needing more monetary funds very soon or things are going to get darn rough. I’m going to change and restart my charity donation campaign today for the new reasons. Please remember to check dropKAG.com to follow my story, find all the was you can support me and shop art/collectibles in my online webstore. If you have any questions, concerns or would like to chat about anything at all you can email me, ken@dropkag.com … I very much apricate all you’ve given! I’m still in need a while longer while the lawyers fight it out… don’t give up on me now 😉
I try not to make these too long so I’ll save the rest for later today or tomorrow. This world has gone insane, be safe my friends. It would kill me to loose another friend. Remember… do something kind for someone today. Once small act from you can move a mountain for someone else. Perception is funny that way. Much love my friends! If you’re still following bless you for putting up with me 🙂
