Seems like it's been 231 days since Halloween, and we've still got a week left of this goofy month before we get through it to December...
It seems I've spent an interminable length of time dwelling on whether or not the drugs I'm taking will stabilize my system, if every twinge signifies a dance with the fookin' reaper. I hate the feeling of betrayal by my own body, dammitall, and I don't like not having a clue what's ahead, or feeling like I really should go through all my scribbles and get rid of them now, even though I should never have left the shit pile up over the years like it has...who was that mythic hero who had to shovel out the stable....? I did go through one notebook of junk and really got depressed...it actually was page after page of drivel, meaningless notes, snippets, and things I don't remember at all. Have I actually been packing around a pile of swill ALL these years?
The scary hospital bills have all been taken into account now except for the ambulance...which apparently has some deductible attached to it...so THAT big bastard is still hanging up there over my head like a guillotine blade. For $1700 I could have bought a round trip to somewhere pleasant. Or hired a wino with a wheelbarrow...ah well, we live and learn don't we. What on earth do they bill you for air transport I wonder...Jaysus, that's really scary! The GOOD news is Medicare covered everything but $150.00 of the 2 hospital bills, including all their pricey testing and drugs. The bad news is they won't keep doing that if it happens again and again. The Medicare pocket is not all that deep if I'm recalling right. I really must find that book they sent me.
I don't know what I would have done without silly stuff to do this month to kill time. Moving to Multiply has been half an experience...I'm still not sure about the new place but I've neglected everything else to try and figure it all out. Surfed a bit looking for Irish themed sites but haven't found anything worth joining so far.
There's been no snow on our level so far, but I noticed a dusting on the hill I call Polaris, just south of us, and of course Silver Mountain and both passes have had some snow, but nothing worth noting so far. Maybe this week.
VERY pleased at the lower gas prices...I topped off a half tank the other day at $1.99, just before it dropped to $1.95. I heard though that most stations are adding a surcharge to motorists who use credit cards. Hope they differentiate between credit and debit cards...eek.
Enough bellyaching for one night. My brain is tired now. Hope somebody else will post soon. Maybe we could get a chat organized one of these days? I'm always around....somewhere...
