stimulate this

Well, March 4th passed without a big fat Capitol riot and they all worked from home.  Welcome to the club kids.  We have been hit with multiple catastrophes during the past year or so and our response, as a country, has been pathetic.  Nobody was prepared in any way for it.  And still the bickering continues.  We need that third stimulus to be able to survive. It's all funny money borrowed from other countries.  The spike in gas prices is to be expected because everybody is getting out of quarantine when they get their shots and expected to "travel."  Not this old girl.  I will use it to pay the bills I have accumulated since I retired.  Do not be fooled by Medicare.  It is still expensive to see specialists who don't tell you there will be a "facility fee" for an outpatient procedure.  Two hundred bucks in D'burg for me to have a colonoscopy pre-op.  My surgeon in Memphis kindly agreed to do that when I am admitted for the reversal, kind of a twofer.  I am sick to death of this bag and the stoma itches and burns a lot.  I don't change bags but about every three days because those suckers are expensive.  I pay 40 something for a month's worth even with insurance.  

Obviously our infrastructure is crumbling in many ways.  But you know what?  It's out of my hands and in Big Ernie's.  And then there's car insurance and house insurance and all that other stuff that has to be paid.  No wonder nobody but the 1% can't get ahead.  Much of their wealth is inherited, like most of it.  My 
daddy wasn't rich but he taught me a lot about survival.  

Y'all be blessed.  Where there's a will there's a way ^j^
