It's July!!

So I had a minor emergency again. I don't get my insurance back, but I have new insurance. Since my new insurance didn't start until July 1st, the pharmacy wasn't going to ship my medicine to me. After much stress and a bit of crying, I got my shipment with just one day of medicine left! I was scared. Mom was scared. Plus she had been doing the bathroom (she re-tiled it!). I think she is doing better.

I am going to go on vacation. I cleared it with my mom (she isn't happy) and my nurse (who is very happy!) . Mom is, reasonably I feel, over protective. I love her! But Sondra wanted me to remind her that the reason we are going through all of this to get me medicine is so that I can have a life. If I am not going to use and enjoy that life, there is no point in all of this. Mom didn't like that, but I wasn't told I couldn't go. I am not sure what I will be doing up there, but I am going with Ryan. Zoo, aquarium, art museum, theatre, botanical gardens... there is so much that I can do! I will only do like one thing each day I think.

Happy 4th of July!! I went to a BBQ last night at Todd's house. It was great! His family is wonderful! Well, I was reminded of why it is so great that we live in America. Yes, it has it's problems... we just need to stand up and make the changes it needs. But this elderly gentleman and Todd were having a wonderful discussion about the current and past wars, they were disagreeing, and one felt that America was great while the other feels it is messed up. That conversation could happen because of this country. It was just really nice to listen to.
