If you look close you can see the little creatures that love the sweat sugar in my feeder.

Food for Thought

I don’t think I’d be able to be as strong as this man.

Wordless Wednesday: The Road of Many Emotions

The Road of Many Emotions

Are You One of 32 Million ?

Since I’ve been living with lupus the issue of health insurance has been an issue for me. Every six months I have routine blood work to check my lupus levels and to check my vitamin d levels. These are only a couple of things I have checked because of my medical problems. In May 2010, I had my gallbladder out and the bill for that was pretty high. Removing my gallbladder wasn’t an elective surgery because they were concerned it may explode.
If I didn’t have health insurance I would not have my health issues under control. I would be stuck praying to God I survive and I would be living in horrible pain. When I had no control of my pain everyone around me suffered too. On a regular basis I take several medications for some relief to my health issues.

If I was to apply for health insurance I would be denied because of preexisting health problem. In March 2010 President Obama signed the Health Care Reform bill to offer health insurance to 32 million Americans with no health insurance. This bill will help a lot of people with various chronic conditions such as lupus and other illnesses. To enroll you will have to be without health insurance for 6 months or be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions. The coverage could start as early as August. To apply for this coverage visit the Department of Health and Human Services. www.healthcare.gov

A Lot of Changes So I’ve Been Quiet

I haven’t post here lately. I’ve had a lot of things change in my life. I bought a iphone which I love so far. There are so many different things you can do with an iphone. I like the app for barnes and noble and the police scanner. I’ve been reading the book bird by bird by ann lamount in E-book format. She’s a great author. I also have Stephen King’s book On Writing which I’ve yet to read. I’m looking forward to reading a lot of great books on my E-book. I’m an avid reader. Today my legs are doing there usual burning nerve pain. I’ve taken some meds, but its not helping much today. If you know of some great apps on Iphone please let me know. Some things I’ve fixed or working on fixing in my life.

Hello world!

What's All the Hair About?

I could write a book about bad hair styles because I was raised around several hairdressers and spent hours sitting at the hair salon watch people transformed before my eyes. The clients didn’t leave with the bad hair styles unless they insisted on an out of the ordinary hair style. When I sat in the receptionist desk waiting for the phone to ring, I saw quite a few people chose hair styles I would never dream of doing with my own hair. Another words what one person does with their hair doesn’t mean it is a bad hair style. Some people don’t do any Hair Care tact. It would be a boring world if we all had the same hair style. It would be too much like the Stepford wives or husbands. That is too creepy for me.  I prefer to have my hair just above the shoulder because it is cooler and easier to style and my hair frosted with the color caramel. I need to color it again, just have been too sick to bother with coloring my hair or just too busy with doctors appointments. Either way I need to color my hair because it helps me feel better about myself. A woman’s hair style and color is important to feel good about yourself both inside and outside.
