I found a little message reminding me that it was time to update my goal. I believe that I have been doing better in living life again. I have friends now that I try to keep in contact with daily or every other day. It's like having a social life again! That is a biggy for me, it had gotten to the point that I really didn't want to be around anyone. That included messages, IM or phone calls. I had completely pulled back from anyone other than my family.

Big News!!! I got my EFFEXOR!!! Finally after a month of calling in each day to either the pharmacy or my Dr's office. I was to the end yesterday when I ask the pharmacy if my insurance would pay for the effexor that wasn't time release. They told me they would since it had a generic! I called the Dr, they sent in the new script and the insurance company said NO. I couldn't believe it. We found out the cost, and between all of us came put with the $70 dollars. My hubby was on his way to the pharmacy when I received a call from my Dr office telling me that they had just been informed that the appeal went through for the second script, the generic, and they would pay for it! I called Rick gave him the good news and waited for my meds. I 'm not sure who was happier I had them, Rick or I!

I have had company most of the day. Both of my sons have dropped in. John had a break, waiting for parts on this old Ford Tractor, a 39 I believe, that he is restoring for a customer. It is good seeing him finally staying busy. There were so many customers I was afraid that he might loose because he wasn't ready to work full time yet! Then why open your own business? I told him he was raised better than that. He said he just wanted to get everything out of his system before he put everything he had into it. Once he started, he wouldn't have time off again. It takes everything you have to run a business that you employ others at. Finally, he is ready to grow up, as far as he can!!! He will always be a kid at heart and that is wonderful. As gifted as he is with anything a person can drive, fly or push, he is just as temperamental. You know what they say about artists. He read it too! I'm proud of him.

Shawn was over too. He came to check his email during his lunch break. He has a job remodeling a den right now. In his spare time he has been cutting firewood and selling it for extra money. There is some tool he wants to get. At least he is keeping himself busy. I was worried that during this recession that business would slow down for him some. It has stayed steady so far. The insurance jobs help too. It is good work for him, he is talented with wood and loves to work hard. The more physical the better for him. He always has been that way. Try to get him to do dishes when he was younger and it would take all day for one sink full. Have him mow and rake the yard and he would be done in an hour! Men!!!! Gotta love em"

My body is telling me it is time for bed for a while. Talk with all later, God Bless
