Feeling Picked On

1.  I've been feeling pretty picked on.  On Tuesday as I was driving to and from work, I was making a list in my head of all the bad things that have happened over the past two months.  It was a long, long list.  It was making me more and more depressed, wishing the little black cloud that's been following us would go follow someone else.

2.  But then, Husband called from the endocrinologist's office to say that the doctor, bless his heart, told him that he was going to write off the his entire $1750 hospital bill.  I assume this is thanks to The Doctor I used to work for - I'm sure there was a phone call from office to office explaining our situation.  I felt very humbled.

3.  I just found a bill from another doctor's office in my purse.  It summarizes what we owe and the payments we agreed to make.  And then it says we will be making sixty-seven monthly payments before we've paid it off.  SIXTY-BLOODY-SEVEN.  By the time we're done, I'll be close to 39-years-old.

4.  The air conditioner in my car is anemic.  It just can't keep up with the southeast Texas summer, which, by the way, is still going on.  Poor Carolyn has to sit in the back seat where the circulation is even worse, and constantly has sweat beads on her nose and forehead.  With two super sweaty parents, she never really stood a chance.

5.  I downloaded my own book to my Kindle.  I've been re-reading it.  Ugh.  Knowing what I know now, I would have done things completely differently.  It needs re-editing, some re-writing, and it screams for pictures, which I decided against when I sent it to the publisher.  Although, I can't help but giggle myself silly whenever I read anything about Hosa.  Man, he was funny.

6.  Yesterday I registered for the Gift of Life 5K walk that's this coming Saturday.  I thought it was a race, but come to find out, it's not even timed.  Like, I could take three hours walking the thing and no one would even know the difference.  Good thing, too.  Because it might actually take me that long.

7.  I am ready for another trip to the beach.  The only thing that would make the beach better is if there was a sno-cone stand.

8.  Carolyn hurled big time Tuesday night.  Twice.  And then fell asleep in it.  Twice.  And I had to clean it up.  Twice.  Apparently she doesn't understand that in my Contract of Motherhood, it specifically states that I do not do throw up.  Good thing Husband was available to give her a bath and wash the chunks out of her hair or I would have lost it.

9.  I got another one of those $10 off a purchase of $10 or more cards from Khol's.  That's basically like getting a $10 bill in the mail.  Free stuff!  Then, someone else at church gave me another one and it was like Christmas.

10.  I'm pretty disappointed in the southeast Texas rain production this year.  That's pretty much the only redeeming weather quality southeast Texas has to offer other than shorts and a t-shirt weather stretching into December and beginning again in February.
