It was cold and rainy today. And windy! Lake Michigan is pummeling the shoreline -- you may have seen it on the national news. I hate this kind of weather. I was really unmotivated at work, and though I tried, I didn't accomplish much. I couldn't stay on task. So I came home feeling yucky because I was such a washout at work, and didn't even really enjoy my evening.
AND I'm really off my diet, taking in the comfort food like I'll never see it again.
I suspect the real problem is that I am still not back to normal after my surgery. My belly button hurts, and I am tired and drained, even though I am sleeping fine.
What does this have to do with finances? Nothing. But whenever I get low like this, I worry like crazy about money. It doesn't help that the medical bills are forcing me to exceed my income. It doesn't feel good.
I got another bill today, $51. It seems like they will never stop.
It's surprising to me how expensive the anitbiotics were. Thousands of dollars. And of course all the radiology was outlandish, too. I certainly hope this is the last medical episode I will have for a while.
Sorry about all the complaining. I'll feel better in the morning, I know.
I did find a penny today, so it's not all bad! 
Blah day

You and me both ... this weather has made it difficult for me to embrace a "flourish rather than flounder" mentality. And this morning is no better, makes me want to go right back to bed!
I hope, too, that this is the last round of medical stuff for awhile. Just like I hope that this is the end of my dental issues. Hahaha I realized that "dental issues" is one letter off from "mental issues"!
Have a good day.

This past year when i got the bill for my physical, I was shocked to see that the hearing test (for which they don't even give me any results, other than to say "it's fine,") was $190. So next year, I will make a point to skip the hearing exam, unless I have hearing problems, which i don't expect. Knowing the itemized costs is a big help.
