And so it begins...

It's Thursday.

It's raining.

It's the perfect day to start a blog!  I've been kicking the idea of a blog for awhile now.  Not because I think anyone is going to read it but because it's a clever way to journal.  To write.  To vent.  To hopefully heal.  To shake myself out of this 8 month old "funk".  Maybe after typing out all of my "woe is me"s I can see how ridiculous I am being?  Maybe?  Or maybe I'll see that I might have some legitimate reasons for being such a basket case?  (But, nonetheless, need to GET OVER IT!)  Maybe?  Or maybe blogging will spark some energy that I so desperately need?  I guess today was as good as any to find out...

Lets start with one rant and one rave.


RANT:  Health insurance.  I am being BURIED in medical debt even though we have health insurance.  Thousands of dollars.  It's not just one big bill (even though I do have a couple of those).  It's $8 here and $21 there and it quickly adds up.  For lab fees.  For the doctor.  For x-rays.  At times, you are paying 2 different offices for the same appointment and it is extremely confusing.  Now we are trying to set up a "health network" in this area (as opposed to Bellingham) and I am amazed at the number of hoops they have you jump through.  (And the hoops are on fire!)


Now my RAVE:  Ummmmm.  Hmmmmmmm.  I'm having a hard time coming up with one.  That's bad, huh?  Here's one.  I don't have to finish mowing Chris and April's yard today because it's raining.  So I guess, the rain is a good thing.


I'll try again tomorrow.
Love, love, love,
Dani
