I've been somewhat busy lately. Had a few request for some lawn decorations. I mostly make them out of plywood...cut out the pattern, prime, paint and they're ready for display. Mostly my neighbors are wanting them so I don't charge much...a few bucks over my cost is all. Don't like to make a big profit from my neighbors...you do for each other is the way I see it. Folks do want some crazy stuff it decorate their lawn with though. Evil looking little gnomes peeing on cute little squirrels, guns with a warning sign to "beware of owner" and mischievous kids with a sign saying "Beware Of Kids".
Folks down south have a different way of expressing their opinion which is fine with me, just it's different then what I'm use to up north.
Anyway, cost of meds has made me miss some doses which is always a bad thing! For the first time since I've moved down south, I was unable to make it to the local store to buy a few things. It hurt...alot. I've been scared of even trying to go now in fear of not being able to make it and suffering that hurt again. I know I'll kick myself and just go and do it but in the meantime I've been beating myself up over the one failed attempt. I know better then to do that, but fortunately, I'll get over it shortly and be back to normal.
I must find a suitable drug program so I can get back on my meds regularly and not worry about cost. It can be extremely frustrating but worth it if in the end I can get on a program I can afford. Until then, I must do my best and try not to worry too much about it. As a matter of fact, I think I'll make an attempt to go to the store today. Just get a few things to prove to myself that I just had alittle glitch and I can still make it to the store without too much anxiety.
In the meantime, I'll keep trying to make my lawn decorations and sell them to make a few bucks, helps pay for the meds anyway. Also, it feels good to EARN some money while I wait for that monthly check from social security. I'll never feel good about getting a check that I didn't work for...it's not like winning the lottery or a sweepstakes...collecting a check from the government has never sat well with me. Anyway, it's just nice to earn some cash on my own.
Whew!!! I really felt a rant coming on there for a moment going on about getting a check over earning a check...I suppose one of these days I'll jump on my soap box and give an all out rant on the topic, but today I must go work on a few more lawn decorations. That is a good thing.
