The Good...
Road Trip! We are off this week to Sacramento, CA so that Miss Irish Dancer Girl can compete in the Western Region Oireachtas (pronounced O-Rock-tus)! This is a regional competition that requires an invitation from your dance instructor to qualify for attending! All good luck wishes welcome here!
The Sad...
Chilly lost his health insurance without any warning on Thursday. As you might imagine this is seriously devastating to our family. For those of you not familiar with my blog, Chilly (my husband) is terminally ill. Without insurance, his health care needs are extremely expensive. He needs very expensive medications and multiple monthly doctor visits (that are only affordable through insurance) to survive...literally. (and I'm not talking only "long term"...he needs it for his short term survival.) I can't really say much more without sobbing all over my computer monitor.
The Ugly...
All I can say here is that when you are going to directly change the quality or length of someone's life by a choice that you are making, it's nice (not to mention the "right thing to do") to give them a head's up prior to making this decision so that they can have an opportunity to save themselves...While I realize this economy seriously sucks, good old fashioned open communication is always appreciated..."here endeth the lesson..."
(sorry to be so cryptic here...someday I will explain in more detail...)

Lord. CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?
How did the competition go?
My husband just came in today saying that if his job ends in January (like we are expecting it might) our health ins. will be $2100 a month. It just jumped 27.8% this week. Obama can kiss my a$$!
