My chest, back and head feel like someone's been using me for bongo drums...from the inside! This cough is so harsh that my old rib fractures ache all over again. Lungs feel like a whole slime field has moved in and sleeping isn't easy to find. Laying down is like having a weight pressing down on my chest and back. At least sitting up everything sinks to my tummy...
I wish I had the number of that flu truck that ran me over last week. I want to lodge a complaint about being hit...hard.
Anyway, I'm slowly trying to get back into the rhythm of things again. I'm getting some work done and making sure that bills are paid. Only issue is that child support has now closed the case on my daughter since she's 18. There was no court order and they state that it doesn't matter that she's still in school.
Thankfully I've got the medicaid till she's 19 at least now, but the TANIF is on a seesaw as it will end when she graduates. So I'm losing about $355/mo and hoping that the funds I'm making with my freelancing will cover it.
My cousin started working and said that he'll help out when he starts getting paid. I'm looking at utilities that need to be paid and a mortgage that eats most of my money that I've left. So I'm not a happy camper...
I'm hoping that I can get some more payments in to help keep things connected while I'm recuperating & so I can keep on working. I just miss having a nice bit of padding in the bank to brace against surprises. I feel vulnerable going payment to payment...especially when I don't know when another will come in.
Well, just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around. If anyone has some cures for a stubborn cough and congestion I'm all ears. The remedies I'm using aren't enough to get it to split. I need more ideas!
Hope everyone else keeps well and avoids this pesky flu bug...
Hope to return when I'm back to myself again...still to sleep dep to function properly for too long...
