Family Bonding

Allergies are kicking my butt in a big way but I can't help but feel warm-hearted when I think of all the togetherness thats been going on with my family lately. Don't get me wrong, we've always gotten along and I've always known that I can count my family as they can with me. But something feels different this season. Something extra. They say you never know what you have until its gone. Well, I am for one am thankful to realize exactly what I have while there's still time to appreciate them. There might have been an incident that made us all realize just how fleeting life is but its more likely that in my zest to be independent, I forgot about my most important support system. Make sure your family knows how much you appreciate them over the holidays and every day. Happy Holidays!

Bills, Bills, Bills!

You just keep coming! Just when I think I've seen the last of the bills relating to my recent medical situation, there you go again. When I start to believe that the hospitals, doctors, specialists have all billed me for everything they could possibly bill me for (blood work, scans, drugs, supplies, bed...), you find a way to surprise me when I open my mail box. My other bills won't wait for you to go away. Haven't I paid enough? It's Christmas for cripes sakes!When will I see the last of you?
