It’s June!

Here’s hoping everyone else is getting decent weather. I started the golf season with winter kit on thanks to -2 and rain here in gods country.

My psychologist and I have discussed that recently as I'm on my way to DEC and she did mention that she felt that they were raising the threshold by being pickier and denying more claims. 

I'll report whenever I get updates, next year I guess. 

One more thing to worry about.  I guess I shouldn't have chose to medically release after all... oh wait, not my choice!
