prescriptions

One "advantage" of having such a low income is that I qualify for a lot of prescription assistance plans. Anytime I get a long term prescription for anything, I get online and price the cost of the medications and the available assistance programs from the different drug companies (so I also Price Pfister, wyeth, merck, eli lilly, glaxosmithkline, and so forth). It pays off- I mean, I'm not proud of not always being able to afford my medicines but it is worthwhile to get hte financial help.

mondays

It seems like my days have felt very odd lately. I'm struggling to get back into a routine after all the wonderful time I spent on vacation, so it is hard to focus when I am working. Mondays are hardest. On weekends I feel sort of justified in not working as hard, but when I start my week with a Cyber Monday, I just feel spacey. I would much rather sleep than actually work!

trucks

I think we all have little pet peeves when we are driving. For me, I really hate it when cars drive up really close to my tail. Tailgating is bad enough, but you have to leave at least a little bit of space. I especially hate it when big old semi trucks buzz my tail. It's scary when you look in your rearview mirror and all you see are truck grills. Trucks that are that big have a lot of weight, and if for some reason I had to brake suddenly, they would not be able to stop their trucks. The force of all that weight would easily crush my car.

health insurance

I would soooo love to find affordable health insurance. Living without health insurance, like I am right now, is kind of like living on the edge. I am young and healthy and don't really need much in terms of medical care- a visit to the eye doctor once a year, a visit to the dentist every six months, and that's about it. I can afford to pay for those with cash. But if anything should happen, whether I become ill (like a burst appendix) or am in an accident, I could be in big trouble. That's kinda scary. But there's nothing I can do about it at this point except pray.

diet pills

Do you suppose scientists will ever create a true diet pill? I mean, right now we have pills like phentermine which work okay, but take time. I wonder if they will ever create a pill that works fast. I know that there is certainly a demand for a pill or some other quick fix way to become skinny, but I honestly doubt they will ever succeed at creating that. I just think there are a lot of things with the human body that we may want, but I just don't think we can control everything.

blackheads

Has anyone figured out a real solution to blackheads? My acne is actually much more under control than it used to be but I still have trouble with those on my nose and chin. All things considered I think blackheads are really not that bad, especially compared to the massive red inflamed pimples that I could be having. But they ARE annoying and it would be nice to be rid of them.

motorcycle

Recently I found out that a friend of mine had to sell his motorcycle. It's too bad- I mean, he really loved that bike. All good things must come to an end, though, and luckily he won't have to use his Pleasanton motorcycle accident attorney. It's always good to get out while you are ahead though, and luckily he has never had a serious accident! at least not yet!

orlando

One thing I've learned in my life- if you are looking for hotel deals in orlando, avoid the Disney World property at all costs! The available rooms in hotels and resorts owned by Disney are very nice, but they are also very expensive. Most of them have some kind of easy transit from the hotel to one of the Disney parks, but on the flip side, it can be very difficult to visit other Orlando sites, like SeaWorld or Universal Studios.

weight loss

What is the easiest way for a busy and tired professional to lose weight? I am almost ready to give a second look to weight loss supplements! It's crazy but there seems to be just not enough time to exercise or to cook healthy meals. Next week I will attempt to get back into swimming. We'll see how that goes- hopefully I can get into a good routine and stick with it!
