This has to be one of the best tracks, if not the best track, from the original Parasite Eve game. It’s a banger.
So it’s been a week, and I’ve heard nothing.

According to the Social Security Administration’s website, it honestly does look like I am entitled to benefits off of my oldest son’s father’s work record because I continue to care for our mutually shared, disabled child… and those disabilities are not going to go away or become any less disabling. It looks like I’ve actually been eligible this entire time, but my family’s initial claim for survivor’s benefits was not properly processed owing to the fact that we had not been married for more than ten years. Because our son is disabled, my age and the length of our marriage are not to be taken into consideration when determining my own eligibility for benefits off of his record, only the fact that we have a mutually shared child who is disabled who I provide care for and will continue to provide care for. This will come out in the wash at some point.
I love this picture that I got of my baby boy!

In hindsight, I should have expected this to happen.

I’m not sure what happened to Bub’s new computer last night, but I wound up having to reload half of it.
I am just now finishing up loading his games back onto it with it continuing to be hooked into the modem.
In the interim, I’ve been having more episodes of strabismus that normally coincide with me being at risk for having an epileptic seizure… except for the fact that they’re not happening (when I’m conscious, at any rate), but I am having a harder time focusing my eyes on things and feel more pressure in my head that is very distinctly not migraine pain. To be honest, I’m not sure I want to make a trade-off like this given what it sounds like it could be, because even the best of scenarios for symptoms like these are worse than anything else I currently have to deal with. The eye deviations happen when my glasses are on and when they are off, and I’ve begun to notice some asychronity in my pupillary sizes as well as rapid dilation and widening when I am in a stable light source. Some days, and times, are worse than others. But still. Can I not deal with this?
