Summer is here!

Mid May! where is the time going? Last night was the first night we slept with windows open. 69 degrees this morning in the house. Roscoe is not a heat person, who would be with that black fur, We brush him every other day, we are hoping to take him and me swimming at Curlew Lake soon.

We are still looking for land, going today to re-look at a parcel we walked a while back and fell in love with. We will see. Sure is pretty out here in the middle of the mountains. Everything blooms later here, I guess we should pay more attention to the farmers almanac.

Today we wash windows, laundry finish up on my herbal starts. We are planting herbs to hopefully replace or work with the medicines I am on as I am running out, and can not afford the full price and we can't seem to get any help. The different things I have used over the years that are natural have worked great but it has always been used with the western medicines, so another we will see. Everything takes time, and at 54 if I grow horns or glow in the dark from the medicines that will make for a good "show and tell" here is what happens when you depend on the government to help out, we live it every day "every day". Yes it is a battle but when I was a kid someone told me not sure if it was Mom or Normand "Carlene everything that is worth something or someone is worth fighting for", I had no clue as how profound that statement would come to haunt me later in life. :) Don't get me wrong here I am happier than I have ever been in my life, I like me I feel strong that I can voice my opinion and it is ok to do that, even though people may not like my thoughts and plans. I am with Lance "the love of my life". Lance has taught me so much about me since we got together, he is a honest disciplined loving person. Diverse in so many ways, and the powers that be knows he has patience. :) We have major issues with my medical situation and we have exhausted every angle.Thank you Medicare for what you give me, but how does a government take so much money, more than I make in a month to pay off medical bills and to get meds? Many people think I am blowing smoke out my ears, but "i am not", real stuff here. I am not telling this for any of you to take anything personal here, just realize please that life is not always what it seems to be portrayed in and on the media, they are only telling us what they are told which is mostly not true. I am sad for many elderly and disabled like me only, there are so many worse off then me. Our vets are not always treated the best medically either.I would not trade my life that I have for anything. I would like for one person that can make an intelligent informed decision and know what is behind that "intelligent informed information", to tell me to my face how they work the numbers to put people in the financial distress that they do. "Look at my numbers" what comes in what goes out and lets see how they feel. Yeah I know I can hear several of my "friends" saying "oh she is on another whine fest rant about the government and her medical", and that is ok also. But now I know I am intelligent enough to take care of "me" and make informed decisions. Confidence is neat stuff!

Well enough for now, will return to share more of my questions I have about things in life? Much love, Peace within and good health to all.
