I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

"See, Catherine? They did teach me how to count in drama school!"

Well, I have tomorrow off, sort of.

I can't sleep in like I'd planned, 'coz I have to return the heart holter monitor by 10am--now there was a pricy thing...and I haven't even got the medical bill, yet! I'm referring to the fact that going to the cardiologist twice in one week, is costing me $25 dollars in cab fare, because the one bus that goes by there, has a bus schedule that doesn't coincide with my appointments at all.

I also have to go for some lab tests, mail some things at the post office and do my weekly shopping. Nice restful day off, ey?

So, long day at work. Here in the office, due to theft and loss of telephone headsets, the business has implemented a scheme where employees are now asked to buy their own, at a cost of $20 per, to be deducted from their pay packets the following week. There's now only about 15 free headsets for about 35 employees.

Next thing you know, they'll be asking us to buy our balls and chains...the advantage being the one's you buy will be lighter in weight than the one's the office has to supply, ha-ha.

Fell out of my chair at work, this morning. No really, I did. Had a bad dizzy spell, couldn't stay upright. Guess I still have that ear infection, despite the medication. Bit embarrassing though...thankfully no one here noticed me sitting on the floor. I was afraid if they did, they'd want to send me home.

So, I've been enjoying the DVD's my friend sent me, doing a bit of writing and just puttering about the house. It was in the mid-20's F (about -4 C) this morning, but it's turning out to be a nice, sunny day. I'm told it might get as warm as 70 F, by the weekend. Maybe Sunday I can go for a walk to the park. It's only about a half mile or so, give or take.

I got a call from the local health centre. They'd sent me an application for their sliding fee (tailored to your income) programme. The woman told me not to put down that I get social security disability, because if I do, I don't qualify. I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with that idea. Actually, I am not at all happy with that idea, if you must know. But then, I have the dilema, of having to decide whether to see a doctor or not, based on how much cash I have on hand, on that particular day or week. So, I have to think about this, for a few days. I'm not sure whether treating my illnesses, is worth the scarring of my conscience.

I still have virtually no hospitalization coverage. Sadly, like many Americans without good health insurance, if I'm told I have to be hospitalized, I will likely simply have to refuse--unless I'm literally given no choice in the matter. It costs thousands--even tens of thousands, for Americans to be treated as an in-patient here. I am so hopelessly in debt now, I really don't need the stress of more debt, that's for sure.

So, not much to say, I'm afraid. Yes, Nancy is a very dull girl, these days. Ah well. Hope you all have a good Friday, ey? Cheers, Nancy G.

You are an unmanly spamming pig.

What's the matter, not man enough to hold down a REAL JOB??

I'm a sick disabled woman, and I go out to work at a REAL JOB every day. Guess I'm more of man than you are, ey?

Maybe, jerkhead, you should try buying some viagra, or, if your too terrified to work for a living, istead of bothering bloggers---oh, by the way, I will in fact contact that website, and tell them that I will start a blog campaign urging people to STAY AWAY from their website--I've done it before, succesfully, and will be sure to mention YOUR NAME to them.

In other words, you stupid git, GO AWAY.
