Geez.. you think I would have learned something through the divorce and flawed quarter century marriage. My mouth and tooth HURT and have for almost a week. Even if it feels a little better (then worse) doesn't mean I shouldn't have it checked out.
Address things up front rather than hiding behind excuses. Grrr.. It's not like I don't have insurance! Get thy head outta the sand, woman! I'm calling them this morning. Oh yes.. and G'Man.. the day before your divorce is final, I'm having a colonoscopy. Sharing this fact seemed like an act of solidarity.
Hey Donna.. I still have the rattie cage, that due to its placement ripped a favorite sweater of mine. Let's get it to your darlings.. SOON! I might even volunteer to be your first private lesson. Reiki anyone? *hugs*
Catfan... Yes.. get out in the work force even as part time... I'm so anxious. ugh.
G'Man.. I have the house set at 60 degrees and my daughter barely tolerates it. We huddle under Snuggies (surprisingly warm and comfy) swaddled in layers. I returned a day later after Thanksgiving. My son had been home alone at that time. When I walked on I commented on how toasty the house was. It was 62 degrees. I looked at him. "Aw, Ma.. it was ridiculously cold so I put up the heat and couldn't figure out how low it had been." It was pretty funny if you'd been there.
I coined the phrase "Stupid Cheap" for the former spouse. We'd go to buy something and he'd say no. Sometimes not buying it was dumb, like a failing water heater. It could end up being more money out the door if it broke, especially sense it was well over its expected endurance.
I'm in such a 'don't spend money' mode I have to remember not to be 'stupid cheap'. It's like the couple whose company I enjoyed. The wife has survived three years since being diagnosed with brain cancer (which killed Ted Kennedy within a year, as it does most patients). I hoped to develop a social friendship. When it didn't occur, an astute friend said.. "Kathleen, but she's dying." That perspective caused me to respect the situation. Now I'm thinking.. Everyone is die-ing.. I want to be live-ing.
