A short time back I was getting plenty of hours and no unusual expenses. Resisting to buy very many stupid things I was able to pay ahead on some bills. No big shopping sprees. No big restaurant outings. Just bills paid. A full refrigerator, air in the bike tires and a crappy golf game. A couple bucks in my pocket. Bought a new pair of work shoes as mine were shot.
Even with a full weeks work my budget does't have much wiggle room. Starting the last two weeks in June my trips to doctors began. With that work missed. Co-pays, deductables, prescpiptions and gas to get there. All this costs money. Also a great deal of physical pain and mental distress.
Just goes to show you how fast something can happen to rain on your parrade. Could be an accident. A relative's health. Income loss. Theft or a natural disaster. Anything that disrupts your normal (or abnormal) routine.
I'm a pretty boring guy. Satisfyed to mostly do the same boring things. When a bump comes up in the road it usually hits me hard. Because I over think things. Sometimes before an event (anticipation). Sometimes after the fact (regret). In reality before it matters or too late. In contrast to real time. I have issues.
Just like the bug that hits the windsheild you never know when it may happen. Everything happens because of cause and effect. Sometimes we have control of the cause (most of the time), sometimes we don't. Although you always have to live with the effect.
I will have missed a little over a weeks work when this it passing. Hopefully that is all the time. After some surgery on my toe yesterday I could not sleep for the pain. I mean not sore, really hurting. Last night and today I can barely walk to the kitchen or bathroom. A I guess I have several more days ofthis not even able to wear shoes. This is just the toe issue. That doesn't take the disc and artery thing
yet. Or the amounts the insurance won't cover.
I just want to get back to get back to my nerdy little no-life life without all these real life issues. That I usually choose not to deal with. No magic wand. Just have to deal with it. And guess what? Every doctor says, "you smoke, don't you".
I have been able to tune up the computer, guard the television and hopefully quit smoking. Be careful and have fun!
