Work... and Insurance

Bc of insurance... which is capping how much they will give us each year based on our salaries ... is now a problem. We have wonderful insurance. But it is now to the point where I cannot work part time. I have started to be able to work twenty hours a week w/ my online teaching... which has been wonderful. 

But now insurance is saying that I make TOO MUCH money. I have been very very upset about it. My work gives me so much satisfaction. And at age 56 I'm not ready to sit on my haunches and become a pink lady and do just volunteer work. 

I worked too hard at college to get my Masters to not be using it. Teaching kids is what I LOVE.... not being a pink lady... (which someone suggested to me... omg).... 

I have been upset and cranky for several weeks about it now. 

Our little dog (13 years old) has been very sick. That hasn't helped. She's been sick for 2 weeks. They finally ran some blood work and determined that she does NOT have cancer or kidney failure. I'm so glad about that. Now I'm not as worried about her. I've been so worried that we were about to lose her bc she already has heart and liver issues which she has had for 5 years or more... she's chronic is several issues.... so her health is sometimes delicate. Something like this we have to get on top of. 

Paco.... who is also 13.... we've discovered in the last few weeks that he is close to being blind or not seeing well at all bc of cataracs. Poor little guy. We knew his behaviors have been strange the last few months... falling into the water bowl, tripping up and down steps, not hearing well, not being able to find me... just really strange behaviors. It's bc he is going blind. Maybe even some of his hearing is going. 

Then there's Charlie... he's 14... and has a hernia. 

We run a nursing home for dogs... LOL. We would be lost without our dogs... our children.

Well... I feel better now after venting in the journal. I am taking most of next week off of work and looking for some solutions to the insurance thing and going to do an angel card reading and a lot of prayer and medication. I told my hubby that I just have to be ready to hear the answer that I get from God. I bought some material so that I can sew. I am working on mug rugs for the summer. They are going to be very cute.
