Wow, how the days have flown. It has been quite some time since my family has been away from the doctor's offices long enough for the employees not to recognize us. Multiple visits for us in the past two months.
Today, my darling daughter went to see the doctor. One more of us on antibiotics. That makes three of us on medicine to try to get over this sinus/cough stuff that has been plaguing us for some weeks.
I am so glad for health insurance that we were able to choose which one we wanted. I would love to pay nothing, but that is not how the world should work.
Work , hmmmm, ah that long ago learned concept from my younger years. What does it mean anymore? It means to me that anything I get for free doesn't mean as much. Pretty much anything works that way. Friendship even - one may think that friendship is free, but if we don't work at it, then the other person is not inclined to be our friend very long due to our snarky attitudes sometimes. Just like our relationships with our kids or spouse - work, work, work is all it takes. Anyone who has kids and is married knows that it isn't easy. We work on all of our relationships to make them good or better, if we don't they go bad to worse and then are gone.
We work at life in general. We do our best and we are rewarded. There is nothing (well maybe something) more funny to me than to see a sign that says "Free Rent". What is free about it? Nothing! You have to sign a lease for x number of months in order to get the first month "free". How is that free? I think that the only free things in life are the "free" samples at Costco or other stores. You take a sample and don't have to give anything back. Of course, with Costco you have to pay for a membership, but with some other stores there is no membership. They count on your taste buds dragging you over to the food case and you pulling a case of "sample" off the shelf and buying it. You only have to fight with your self-control for this. So it is up to you whether you get off free or not.
Well, hmmm - I guess that is it on the "free" speech for now. Just a few things to think about for the day or not. Who knows who is out there reading this - certainly not anyone who gets the internet for free. You must pay, pay, pay to read my blog. Hahahahaha!

Been a Long Long Time
Well, it has been a long long time since I wrote here on my blog. Tiredness, sickness, business and all of that stuff has been interferring with my blog writing. Besides all the time for computer blog reading and game wasting time, there is not much time left for blog writing.
I have learned to multi-task on my computer doings in the last two weeks or so. After I started getting over my ickyness. Before that I felt too awful to think much. During those weeks when I felt awful and wished I had the energy to write on here, my mind came up with a, well what should I call it, maybe poem is too strong a word. Certainly doesn't follow any rules that I remember learning in high school about poems, that is except write what I feel and want.
Bear with me as I put those rambling words down here on my blog. I occassionally get the poetic bent on my mind. Did it this last Christmas for the year end email (not letter or card this time).
By the way, Paige's blog inspired me to take the time today to write something. Thanks Paige.
Went to the doctor and she said pish posh
You have nothing but a cough and a wheeze
And a dynamite sneeze
Just use your inhaler whenever you want
And oh, by the way get this other one full of sterrhoids too.
Rinse your sinuses twice daily and soon you will be as good as new.
A week later and things were still dreary.
Less of a wheeze, still coughing,
Oh no, lots more dropping from my sinuses down to my tummy
(Not so yummy)!)
In addition my ears had decide to join in the fun
And the joy and the glee that was the rest of me.
Another visit to a different doc.
I sat and sat and watched the clock.
It always takes longer the more pain you ponder
I am glad I had words from my library book
to take my mind off from the pain.
An exam and an x-ray and two hours later
I emerged with the verdict-
An ear infection she told me and lungs both quite clear.
Take this antibiotic and drops in the ear
And please don't forget this Tylenol with Codeine you hear.
So much pain, I was dying, I couldn't even sleep.
I just wanted to curl up in the dark and quietly weep
I coudn't, I knew it -
Why? Do you say?
Because the crying would make it hurt worse
and then I would only need one more thing - a hearse.
I took all the medicine like a good girl
And got over feeling like a churl
But, ten days later my symptoms came back
I felt like it was all coming back with a whap
Help me I cried to the doctor again
I feel like this illness has been here too long
Over a month and getting too strong
What do you want, she said with a grin
Viruses come and go on a whim
Make it go away I whined
I need to get better let my life be mine
Another round of medicine may do the trick
Be healthy, get rest, drink lots of water
Be good to your husband and your little daughter
I will try I told her and left with a moan
Then I perked up and thought more
My ear infection was gone my life was much better
I thought of my sister and friends and the others
Who have other problems that I wouldn't want
I have it so good, just a little virus
That has been here for over a month
Just think, the medicines can keep it under control
For the rest of my life, be it one day or two days or 50 more years
I will feel better and better as I try to be healthy
And get my rest and try my best
To look at my life in the way that I should
It is hard and lots of work, but I think that I would
Rather do that then stay down down down low
In the depths of despair over months of illness
When God is waiting to help me feel up and alive
And enjoy all the good things that are here for me each day
Harooo Horaaay!
I always have problems with ending a poem. Don't know why. Reminds me of a book I read once or twice where one person could come up with the first three lines and never get the last line. They needed another person to come up with the last line. Of course, that last person couldn't come up with the other three lines. They needed each other. Just like we all need one another in our lives.
I have had lots of time to think and read while I wasn't writing. I guess you all (whoever you are) get the benefit of that now.
