Taking a break from DS.
Well, I guess it's my turn for a break for a while.
As you know, if you have been reading my journals lately, recently I had to put one of my cats to sleep. And my sister has uterine cancer, and I haven't heard from her for the last 3 weeks, left messgs, etc with no answer, so I don't know what has happened to her, and she is the only source of my income right now.
AND, this morning, I found out that the kind Providence health care system, who has been giving me free medical assistance because I am not eligible for ANY other kind of state, federal health asistance right now -- get this -- has decided that I am no longer eligible for their program because I PARK MY TRAILER FOR FREE IN LEE'S DRIVEWAY, AND SO THEY HAVE NOW INCLUDED HIS INCOME IN MY APPLICATION!!!!! I have explained to them, that we do not share finances. they do not care. I think they just see that I keep re-applying, and are doing anything they can to get out of their obligation.
I don't qualify for OR state health care because I am NOT PREGNANT.
I don't qualify for disability because I HAVE TOO MUCH WORK EXPERIENCE -- which is not much.
I don't qualify for SSI, -- get this, -- because I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WORK EXPERIENCE!!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
And now, the last straw I had, has blown away.
I may be on again soon, but in case I'm not, I just need to wallow in my sorrows for a while.
Thanks for all your support and prayers.

Take all the time you need...sometimes we just have to do that, break away from everyone and everything to figure out ourselves...I so wish I could make things better for you....but remember that I and others care very much about you and hope and pray that it all turns out better in the end...keep, or try to, your chin up...the sun will shine again. GREAT BIG HUGS to last you awhile...Love, Kat

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
