Hello Blog Land,

How is everyone out there?

You know, I have few wants in life, but one of my desires is to have internet access at home. Alas, this is not to be for now. Eric and I are struggling financially at the moment, but hopefully things will improve. It's a bit scary though when you hear the news of the economy. Makes one uncertain about nearly everything else in life.

Money is tight and so are my clothes. Another woe is that I have really packed on the pounds and I am unsure where it's come from and why? I think part of it is some of the medications I am on can cause weight gain. This seems a silly side effect for diabetes medication, but what can you do? So, starting next week Eric and I are going to attempt a healthier lifestyle. We'll see how that actually works in reality. But maybe if we do it together some good can come of it.

I am fairly certain I am about done with winter, but that's not really a choice we get is it? Another choice we do not get is whether or not we have CBS. Currently our dish carrier is fighting with the local station about how much money the local station should be paid. They have not come to an agreement yet and I am unsure they will any time soon. So, no Big Bang Theory for us. I blame the local affiliate. What they are asking for is rediculous. It's akin to me wanting to sell my house for real estate prices in New York City. Well, even with the down turn in the housing market, that just isn't realistic.

Eric has had a couple of bouts of illness, a virus which he received antibiotics for and a tummy bug. The medications he is on can cause a suppressed immune system so we must be diligent about keeping such pesky germs under control. It's not the same as just a regular person catching a cold or getting the flu. Nor is it the same when I clean the toilet knowing I may come into contact with chemo. Life changes and if either of us cared about my reproductive health, life would be a lot more difficult. But since we don't, we're a bit more lax about me coming into contact with that stuff (don't get dirty folks- that's a no no during chemo).

Well, I best be off. Head home on what may be an ice rink. The last time it was icy I saw a snow plow tipped over. One stays home after seeing that.
