A quiet Saturday!

Though it was a beautiful day outside(for November), it was not a day that I could go anywhere - and so I didn't! Once Thanksgiving passes and the Christmas shopping and party season begins, it will be worse because the crowds will be very large indeed! Thus, December, I think, will be a month of even more hibernation for me.

Hibernation, as much as I hate to admit it, has worked. It has worked so well that even when other family members come down with the flu - it didn't strike me!

As the new week starts, it's time once again to gear up for our monthly visit on Wednesday and the 5 AM rise time that goes with it. As much as I hate rising at 5(especially now that it's pitch black outside), it's a small price to pay when you only go once a month. It fact, now that they submit my bills to the insurance company under that magic "Life Assurance" category, it really is a small price! The only thing that we really pay for is the gas and the parking- which is also reduced because I am a patient. The hospital visit is covered 100% by my insurance company - talk about miracles!

I hate to get political, but I don't see how Uncle Sam can do any better than that...
