Haven’t had much exciting to post about lately; just going about daily life. The weekend we ran some errands and got out a bit. Love isn’t allowed to run yet post-op but he is allowed to walk so I made us get out and walk around Saturday. Sunday, he did breakfast with his family but…

Becoming A Habit
This whole spending the night at the ER thing is getting a little too common these days! First, let me assure you both I and Love are well. But late yesterday afternoon, we didn’t know that for sure. Love has his umbilical hernia repair surgery back on January 12th. Because of this, he is, of…
Bandwidth – The Revenge
And…we’re back. Again. Yesterday afternoon, we hit our bandwidth limit for the second time. (Using over 20GB of transfer just for the month of January!!) I didn’t bother emailing support asking for more because it was the last 1/2 day of the month and it would reset overnight for February. Well, this morning, I checked…
Surprise Birthday Party (With Unexpected Surprises)
All last week we were covertly working with Love’s Dad to get supplies and make arrangements for a surprise birthday party for Love’s Mom. Ever since last June when Love’s Dad had all his medical issues (his gallbladder ruptured, he went septic, was in a coma and had a quadruple bypass), he doesn’t drive anymore….
16 Weeks
I had to go back and count because I hadn’t been keeping exact track lately but today is 16 weeks since my hysterectomy. That seems like such a long time ago. But in many ways, it’s very recent. I think I’ve finally reached a point where the aches and pains part of the healing are…
Weekend
I spent most of Friday just in a serious funk. Kept crying because of the damned collection letter. It’s like, why even bother trying to be responsible and pay everyone off if I’m just going to get screwed over and ruin my credit anyway? Everything is stacked against you as the debtor and they make…
Collections
So, even though the debt started as $1,200 and it’s down to $930 and I’ve been paying every month, apparently the “fact” that so long as you pay they can’t send you to collections is an urban myth. Every single person I’ve ever talked to both in person and online said just pay it each…
Quality of Life
Yesterday, I shared the Assumptions people make about me based on their preconceived notions and health care expenses. Today, I’m expanding on that topic to Quality of Life. Besides “knowing” all the money I obviously waste on doing my nails, having a fancy new car, buying iPhones, etc. people also have other “helpful” suggestions about…
Assumptions
One of the worst parts of my “I am ObamaCare” images going viral is the asinine assumptions people make. Honestly, it’s just absurd the things people will say. I get some people don’t agree with the Affordable Heathcare Act and while I can’t fathom why anyone thinks our current system is working, it’s their right…
Bisy Backson
Been so busy this past week with recovering from my food poisoning/ER trip and Love’s surgery Thursday. The anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea medications they gave me made me dizzy. The anti-nausea one is normally prescribed for people going through chemo! I wasn’t allowed to drive on the meds and I had to take them for 3…
Love’s Surgery Tomorrow
Big day tomorrow. Love goes in for his hernia repair tomorrow. He’s nervous, I’m a wreck and the place is a disaster. Getting sick with the food poisoning was the worst timing ever since it left me in a lurch this week preparing for his surgery. Never got the tree down Sunday because I wasn’t…
ER Visit
Sunday night I wasn’t feeling well. Very run down and tired. By about 2:00am Monday morning, I suddenly got sick. Threw up violently. Things got worse from there. For the next three hours, I couldn’t leave the bathroom and not to be too gross, it was a “both ends” kind of situation. By about 5:30am…
January and February
Both my Garnet “January Tree” and
Bandwidth
So apparently, just after posting the last entry, I went over. I contacted support and they’ve upped me to 15GB this month. We’ll see how it goes. If you got an “over the limit” message, I’m back for now. Let’s see how long this amount of bandwidth holds out! (Currently over 8.5 gig this month…
Saturday Rest
I got more than a little overwhelmed on Friday when the links, emails, mentions, tags and hits just flooded in. It was crazy. So Saturday, Love and I took a day completely off the interwebs. We took a drive over to Orlando, talked, walked around, window shopped, people watched, had a burger, watched some fireworks…
