Trick or Treat....!!

Scary...huh..?

No..?

Well let me tell you the prices on the "affordable" insurance packages are scary....

the package i'm considering is $373 a month and that is with $3500 deductible plus the discount..!

Plus did you know there is a Federal Plan and a State Issued Plan...?

Seems the states that are Republican by nature came up with there own plans for the voting population of their part of the country...

Guess what North Carolina is...come on guess...??!!

Affordable..?

Maybe if your in the same tax bracket as Bill Gates and Sam Waldon....

 

Is affordable health care really affordable.....

 

Maybe the sticker shock caused yesterday's asthma attach....hummmmm...

It was nice....

..while it lasted....back into the high 60's today...

Plus

Insurance was nice while it lasted...

Several weeks ago we were notified that CityBoy's insurance thru work did not meet the minimum requirements and as of Dec. 31st it would be going away....

Today is the day we make the trip to town and talk with an insurance agent and see if we can afford to be  healthy....

We need insurance for me only, but we've been told that all the policies have maternity and pediatrics..

Hummm....don't really need either...

 

I'm too old for more babies and my baby is 34 years old....

 

We'll see what happens...

 

Everyday is a Gift

Last Friday.....

morning we had snow on the mountain....

More at the park than here at the cabin..

But

It was the cold white stuff that arrived on Oct. 25th..

Last year we had to wait for Halloween...

Burrrrrr....

Turmoil....

The barn quilt above reminds me of this weeks weather forecast...

Things have been up -down, warm-cold, windy-still, beautiful-snowy all spinning around and around...

This does not correspond with the bean count...

4 - light beans/light snows

4 - dark beans/heavy snows

1 yellow bean

The yellow bean must be the snow we got last night...

According to the bean count winter should be "not-so-bad"

Hummmmm

We're not off to a good start...

Everyday is a Gift

Beyond my control....

...with an afternoon delivery from the state park warehouse today..

I decided to change my work schedule for today - 10am-2pm...

ahhhhhh...

I could sleep late...at least that's was my thought when i went to bed last night.

NOT..!

 

At 4:30am CityBoy was up and trying to get the dogs out of a nice warm bed into the cold dark outside...

At 5:00am the smoke alarm started chirping...turn out to be his new phone...

however...

at 5:05am CityBoy was moving a ladder around and looking for a 9V battery...

also, at 5:05am i had two cold dogs quivering in the bed, under the covers, next to me ... 'cause they are afraid of the chirping sound...

Then all was quite until 6:30am when CityBoy left for the Wellness Center...up went the electric garage door....down when the garage door...

At 6:35am Misskitty is screaming on the front porch...CityBoy left her out, it was cold out there and there was a stray cat invading her territory..

Up...outta bed to let her in and of course the dogs ran out into the cold...

I gave them 5 minutes to chase the boggy cat away and then back to bed with cold dogs...

Then i remembered that i was suppose to take Max and Misskitty to the vet this past Tuesday...where has the brain been lately...it seems to be in another zone...

maybe i need more sleep...

I did manage to sleep until 8:00am after that..

but...

woke to Lula Belle staring in the window and howling for breakfast....

Now...

the inside dogs, outside dog and cat are all taking naps and i'm headed for work....

Leaves....we've got leaves....

The leaves have peaked...

better hurry...!!

The winds are brisk and the foliage is falling fast...!

Just a few outside my door at work..

makes playing in the leaves easy...!!
