It is like I have to read about other people and how they live and cope so that I can make myself get out of bed, or appreciate what I have more. <br /><br />It is also nice that it can give the illusion of having friends. :) Yay, blogging!Chessyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04802019298210478600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896802.post-73592080402919580872009-11-13T19:11:13.360-06:002009-11-13T19:11:13.360-06:00Well, I&#39;m not a regular poster anymore, but let it be known that I stalk you because I always read your blog!!

Thank you so much for the donations, guys. I received 2 donations and am sending my SIL a check for $30/the amount of the donations. Every bit helps! When her hospital bills start rolling in it&#39;s going to be very overwhelming.<br /><br />T, to answer your question, I don&#39;t know for sure, but mostly it&#39;s a matter of being able to afford it. She&#39;s in vet school and doesn&#39;t work right now. I think they do have some sort of something (??) for my nephew because he&#39;s got asthma and does a lot of breathing treatments/prescription meds. Her husband is an out-of-work pilot that now delivers pizzas. <br /><br />Insurance is just.. wow. Working in a hospital, it makes me so beyond frustrated when I hear people&#39;s concerns/rage/etc. over insurance or lack of. People genuinely risk their lives because they can&#39;t afford insurance or to come to the hospital. I know, ppl. know this already but..wow. <br /><br />Thanks again for the donations!!pom.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01586426633612449976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896802.post-41147688048512273852009-11-02T13:06:50.322-06:002009-11-02T13:06:50.322-06:00i want to learn more about the no-health-insurance part (b/c everyone has their reasons and it&#39;s the current national debate right now).<br /><br />the reason is likely too private / one of those complex things / a question of balance / you can&#39;t pay for everything (something has to be cut out); but 36 is &quot;old&quot; not to have some kind of coverage … because shit happens all the time, and more often to those of us over 35.<br /><br />and if you have a dependent : (<br /><br />it&#39;s none of my business whatsoever.<br /><br />i have insurance and still can&#39;t pay bills (just yet) on a very minor e-room adventure from august.<br /><br />i am very sorry for her. life is ___.<br /><br />scary as shit. money coming …Applecart T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00812569499485598060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896802.post-24563833428439757442009-11-01T14:18:47.572-06:002009-11-01T14:18:47.572-06:00Wow, I hope they find some answers for her! *hugs*Nickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17450047662423254301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896802.post-51585482552232554032009-10-27T12:22:23.616-05:002009-10-27T12:22:23.616-05:00Sounds like you have a good set up with the lil&#39; one - so great that you get to enjoy this time with her :) And boy do I hate job anxieties too!Nickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17450047662423254301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896802.post-51982219654363739322009-10-22T10:14:24.622-05:002009-10-22T10:14:24.622-05:00hey pom - just thought you may be interested? this is where our ped is...thought i&#39;d send it out there :) it&#39;s at st. joseph hosp.<br /><br />Child Care Limited Pediatrics<br />Due to our ever growing practice, we are looking to expand our nursing staff.

Beebs is just a doll. Might make me want one of my own one of these days.<br /><br />Re: your mom, do you think you could have a convo with her where you tell her that maybe it&#39;s not the best for you to hear about her feelings with your dad? I know, blasphemy, but you&#39;re the daughter, not a conspirator. She might have hurt feelings for awhile, but if it hinders your healing, it may also be hindering a stronger friendship with your mom. If you don&#39;t want to do that, best to figure out how to deal with her when she goes off on a rant...if you can&#39;t change her, you have to change yourself.<br /><br />Just remember to cry when you need to, and feel angry when you need to. It gets easier with time, but it takes time, and you can&#39;t rush it.

Exits on freeways / highways /etc. are not always matched by on-ramps nearby or any way to return to former throughways easily.<br /><br />Online in advance can help, if you remember to print things out. Also the cheesy tourist bureau, which always has good street maps and &quot;things to do.&quot;<br /><br />I can&#39;t imagine traveling with a little one, but I guess she&#39;s just part of your life anyway and it feels normal. I&#39;ve never been to Austin, so I don&#39;t know what it&#39;s like, but I have been confused by many interstates and downtowns and suburbs.Applecart T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00812569499485598060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896802.post-91784638652235641032009-10-14T19:02:19.723-05:002009-10-14T19:02:19.723-05:00this is how i do vacation best: find a location that is closest to where we want to spend the most time, bring lots of snacks, don&#39;t plan too much, enjoy the scenery...<br /><br />hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation. shoot me an e-mail when you get back so we can get together.k simehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00876770390554064811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896802.post-14127497766630836662009-10-13T10:15:54.798-05:002009-10-13T10:15:54.798-05:00Vacations are full of ups and downs.

This might be one of them. But it does help to do a little homework ahead of time - that way you can rule out what you don&#39;t want to do and focus on what sounds good. Hotel front desk people know this stuff and where to point you, so hopefully you took Jodi&#39;s advice and asked them!Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05321872473726824271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896802.post-27252198683646772842009-10-11T09:00:02.040-05:002009-10-11T09:00:02.040-05:00I hope your vacation improves soon!

Then just start applying. I applied for probably 15jobs in lots of different places and it felt like, for me, the hardest thing was starting because you feel kind of stuck and overwhelmed. But if you start now there is plenty of time to meet your goal of changing jobs the end of the year and you have time to pick and choose what to interview for, and ultimately what job to accept.<br /><br />Love love.<br /><br />You can do it !<br /><br />P.S. Not hating your job is not at all overrated.Trishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09222708282703583195noreply@blogger.com
