Two Weeks and Counting

Two weeks from today will be my long-awaited disability appeal hearing.  To say I am nervous would be an understatement.  I have no idea what will happen or how long it will take for the judge to make a decision.  I just know I am tired of waiting and ready to get this over with no matter how nervous I am.  Then after that comes the anxiety of waiting for the decision.  In the meantime, life goes on pretty much as it has for the last year and a half.  I still struggle with having enough money.  I never seem to have enough to pay bills and buy groceries and I hate having to ask anyone for help.  I have 2 doctor appointments this month as well.  I know my A1C test (3 month blood sugar average) is not going to be the best.  I just hope it's not above what it was in October.  But I have been so stressed and anxious and with the holidays, I have just wanted to eat all the time.  I never feel satisfied hunger-wise or emotionally.
I don't have very much to say about this situation.  Just wanted to post a message about it and ask for prayers over the next couple of weeks.  For my health and well-being, for my ability to be verbally articulate at the hearing and for the outcome of it all to be positive.  I am hoping for a tax refund this year that will be sufficient to handle some of my overdue bills and to be able to stock up on groceries again.  I am  a meat and potatoes girl, not a veggie person, and I am having to steel myself to start the process of eating nothing but veggies for the next two or three weeks. 
Thank you all so much for your friendship and prayers.  It means the world to me!  Bless you, dear friends!
