Re: Just Whining, feeling a bit sad

Carole, I certainly feel for you and can relate! I loathe what it costs for health care. It is getting to the point where having health care coverage will be a luxury afforded only by the "privileged". This is one of the things that is so disheartening about this country...if you have a lot of money, you can afford whatever you need (and make money off of money, where they never, ever work!) and if you have no money, the government will provide for you to a degree. What about the majority of us in the middle? I am so afraid of losing what I have earned that I would rather die than see it happen. It scares me to think like this, but I do not know how I would manage if Stills takes me "down for the count". This also concerns politicians, and no, I am not going to say one is better or worse than the other..... not a single one of them give a shit about us!!! They may say they are concerned, but with all of the money from special interests lining their coffers, it is easy to see why "WE" don't have a voice. If the common folk of this country ever UNITED into a strong voice, the country would be a radically different place.

I sure hope the going gets easier for you Carole!! You sound like you are having a nightmare of a time, and I pray you will come out of it on your feet!

Just Whining, feeling a bit sad

Hello my fellow Stilligans, (doesn't that sound political),

Feeling a bit down right now. Just woke up from sleeping pretty much the entire day - hate when I lose whole days. But I've been going pretty steady for several weeks now and it seems as though I need a down day every once in a while.

I'm feeling a bit sad tonight. I haven't paid my health insurance for 9/04 yet or for 10/04 for that matter and I'm freaking because I can't seem to come up with a spare $1400! Sh@*t! You know, when I was younger, I made really good money and never once thought about how much stuff cost, if I wanted it I bought it. I never dreamed that someday I'd have to scrounge around for money for toilet paper and tissue. And the funny thing is that I work a whole lot harder today for less money than I ever did before.

I got googled again this week from a friend from 11 years ago, second time in the past 6 months because of the Stills site. I used to work with this girl and we were really good friends, she even was a brides maid in my first wedding. She was telling me of all her accomplishments of the past 11 years and I have felt sad ever since.

Most days I am so grateful to be alive and have a roof over my head. But every once in a while I get reminded of my past when I had so much more - including good health! And today, hopefully for just a short moment, I am feeling very sorry for myself. I try so hard to not be greedy, but I'm so tired of worrying about money, meds and if I can afford them (with 3 scripts at the pharmacy now that I can't pick up), my work clothing has stains and are so worn you can just about see thru them and I can't afford diddly. I need a haircut, and it's 2 different colors so I'm oh so attractive today. I haven't been to the dentist in years, and my poor old car (1992 with 140,000 miles) is a real trooper but is getting old and sick as well.

I'm so emotionally tired! Will it ever get easier? G-d I hope so. But I do know that I have a ton to be grateful for - especially this loop, my loving hubby, a job, etc, etc, etc.

OK, I'm better now ! Got to get back to loading stuff on ebay. Our weekly garage sale funds went pretty far today, thank goodness. Thanks for now and be well everyone. I don't know what I'd do without you all!

Love Carole

Please keep posting your frustrations. It not only makes you feel better, it makes me feel better too. It's a "pill" that's easy for me to swallow. LOL

misery does love company - doesn't it?

I just paid 2 months of my health insurance - broke again. But thank G-d I had the money to pay that. Now, I need to make a bunch of sales tomorrow so I get a decent paycheck on Friday otherwise, I'm back in the same boat I was on the first of the month.

It' so wierd, One minute I feel like life is going down the perverbial tube, and then the next minute I'm feeling hopeful agai. G0 figure!

Today I'm doing much better. Imagine paying $1400 toward insurance and being grateful to be able to do that. Rent is due on the 15th so I have a bit of time before that's due. I don't want to have to ask for another advance - my boss is great about that, but I seem to ask for one just about monthly and I don't want to do that this month.

I'm tired, maybe I can turn in a bit early - not sure what I'll turn into to, but I'm sure it will be entertaining!

Feel well everyone.

Love Carole
