Mysts's blog: "Dec 1"

When I was a child I suffered a closed head injury and developed a seizure disorder. It was mild and by the time I was in my late teens, early twenties it had all but disappeared. I hadn't even thought about it for 30+ years. About two months ago, it returned with a vengence. No rhyme or reason, poof there it was. I'm up to three a day now and I'm really not sure what to do. My husband started a new job in August of this year and he is still listed as a temporary employee so we have no health insurance and I'm afraid to go to the doctor with it because when we get health insurance it will be listed as a pre-existing condition. And the insurance company won't cover it. Shit.

Well, here I sit and it's the last month of 2008 and I've been through a lot of ups and downs this year. First off I haven't been employed since July. This was "ok" for a few months, but then the monies started getting lean. Bought a new house in February and made my house payments through November thinking I would have a job by then. Wrong. I'm letting the house go back to the finance company and thanking my lucky stars I didn't sell or trade my old house. It's gonna need some work, but I'm just going to pour the $$ into it rather than trying to make a payment I cant afford. The unemployment through my state ran out last month but I did qualify for extended benefits though the feds....Thank goodness for that or I really would be in a pickle. There are just NO jobs here. Don't get me wrong, I'm not whining....I have a house to live in, money in the bank, I'm healthy and I have FuBar!
