I hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving weekend. I won’t be cooking a turkey or anything else til I feel better. I was able to get up and walk to the back door and let Cleo out this morning, but my symptoms are still there. My primary doctor’s office isn’t answering the phone, and with my shitty insurance (something I don’t know what to do about, none of my choices are good) and ER visit is going to cost at least a grand, if I am admitted, it could be thousands more. Because we have a savings account and a house( the only money we have is in checking/savings) we don’t qualify for help unless we spend all the money first. This is such a dumb system. Let people lose everything and then give them basic help, that makes sense. Then what happens to us?

I have a lot of things to be thankful for, and I truly am blessed in so many ways. I just wish that we were a more kind, compassionate and understanding nation. It sure would help ease a lot of suffering and sorrow. Holidays are tougher for me, my family cut me off years ago and my husband’s family is in Florida and don’t do holidays with us. The last few years we just get a present or two for our son and a couple of close friends and that’s it. To be honest, I hate this time of year now.

Much love and lots of blessings to all of you, I hope you find peace and joy this long weekend.
