What a week!!!!
:faint:
Every day I wake up amazed that I don't have an ulcer the size of the Grand Canyon. To scale, of course.
This health"care" bill and its resulting insanity is making my head spin.And here we go again, another day of voting/not voting/let's cut essential health benefits/pre-existing conditions from it. It is a debacle, plain and simple. The irony of it is that stress is the last thing my health status needs- along with sooooo many others caught up in this legislation (if ya wanna it call it that?)- yet the longer this goes on, the more stress it causes which makes health issues worse. and so on and on and on...
And then to read that a Congressman "jokes" about not caring if mammograms are covered because he doesn't need them (paraphrasing b/c how he said it was even worse if you can imagine). :doh: What idiots!
The bright side of life is that the temps are going to be warmer today, even if it is rainy. After another brutally cold day yesterday, 47* and rain is much "better" than 23* and sunny.
I made it through cleaning for my friend without incident, finished the LO I was fighting with, and played a couple of games of pool with Cait and Gary. I lost both times.
My mom is coming up today and we are going to wander around The Christmas Tree Store and look at Spring things. I have not a dime to my name nor anything that I need to buy other than a new wipe off board if they have one. My brother called me to tell me that I need to talk to my mom about the "resting place/will" stuff. that should make for a good time, eh? he is concerned that my parents haven't updated their wills in years and that they don't have plans set for when they die. This is falling on me since I talk more "gently" to my mom than he does?? Like I have any luck talking to my mom about going to a doctor, let alone about when she is dead? Ugh.
He is right that it should be done and discussed now, rather than when it is out of our hands. I have to suck it up and deal. Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.
Any advice you have is appreciated since I know that sadly, most of you have been through this already.
So on that note, let me switch up and say something funny.
:noidea:
