Bringing In Another March
Mar. 1st, 2011 09:16 pmWell, this was a fine start. A lung infection completely derailing what I'd hoped to be a long weekend, so that I could get some illustration projects moving again. Some of which I did, but not in an active sense of the phrase, despite the lung trouble.
That lung trouble's been diagnosed, prescribed for, and half the meds paid for so far. The rest will be dealt with tomorrow. But the whole matter of that prescription's left me convinced of the arguments for a national "pharmacare" plan, to help fill one of the major gaps that's been left in the medicare system over the decades. Convinced like a religious fanatic, but without the doctrine of any organized religion. Because I've got a personal stake in it, same as all of the rest of us: The stake of not wanting to die too damn soon for the wrong reasons.
Anyway: going to see if I can handle a return to the day-job tomorrow after two sick days and a personal day that had to double as a "see the doctor while you're sick" day. Wish me luck with that.
Hoping to get back on track on artistic, medical, financial, and other fronts as the next few months go by. More on that to come.
