HEALTH UPDATE

No news is good news right? So no news. Monday I will hopefully be at least MAKING the appointment with the endocrinologist. She is currently out of town. The only one we have here in my town can't speak English in any way that I can understand, and I don't like her. She saw Halie when she was little, and wanted to put her on shots of growth hormone so she wouldn't be so short. Screw that. People come in all shapes and sizes, so I am not going to feed the big pharma companies just so my kid can be an inch taller. Blah.
I have a regular Doc appointment next Friday, hopefully to set up an appointment with a surgeon. All the business with the insulin is on hold until I see the Endo Doc. Before all these appointments however, I have decided to write down my complete medical history, plus a page of all my complaints and pains as of late. Whenever I go to any doctor, the pull out a file as big as Texas, but they only read the front. I don't see how that does any good. Anal I am sure, but I want them to get the picture right off the bat. So that's it for now. More waiting to ensue.

THE DAILY NEWS

So. I have had some complaints that the ol' newspaper isn't being informative enough lately. Sorry bout that. It's just been crazy here, and really quite depressing. I've been working, staying busy, trying to prevent hair loss over this latest round of worries. It seems like if it isn't one thing, it's always another. Ya know? I keep thinking I should write my will, gather all the information in one place in case people need to find it. Probably a good idea even if everything in life is just fine. I worry about my kids, what will happen to them if I am gone. Will they have any good memories? Would I have been good enough? Will they make it to be healthy happy adults? I can't help but feel guilty, because if I were to die, Halies' life would be put on hold indefinitely. She would help raise her brother and sister instead of starting her own life. She finally just bought her first car - all on her own. Got it tagged, insured, and ready to go. She is supposed to be going to take her driving test by next week. She's been practicing, and I even let her drive me to work. Scary, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I sat in the back seat of course. Just in case. She's been hoping to be able to move into her first apartement by the end of the summer, and I have enjoyed so much being able to help her prepare. I don't have much to give, but she's a grateful child. God I love that girl with all my soul. I'm so proud of her. I love our talks, we talk about everything. She really does have a good head on her shoulders, even if she does think it's ok to feed the cats cheese......

HERE'S SOMETHING.....

If you fix something little, even if it costs you a bit of change, later on you won't have to fix something huge and pay a whole lot of change. Yeah? Sounds simple enough, but for some reason most folks just don't like to do it that way. Like the owner of the mines in VA. An ounce of prevention? It really is worth a million bucks. Or maybe million(S)....

I wish my landlord understood that fact.

And some other specific companies that I can not name here.

It's just stoopid.
