vacation.

Storm battered windows .

Sofa pulled close and tea nearby. 

Sleep, nap, and reflect. 

Grass for laying, dock for sitting,

sun for laying underneath. 

For books and bugs, 

water lapping at the sides. 

This is all I ask.

Hospitals

So I have been at Stroger hospital recently.(3 times in the last 3 months)

Having some moles that have gotten uppity, removed. It took a referral from my clinic and an appointment with an intern to set up a surgery date, surgery , and stitches removal. a shit-ton of people for a little ol mole. 

Needless to say  I’ve gotten a pretty good feel of the workings of this place . The people are nice. I must be a bit of relief for them needing only a little care and not life necessary attention. 

As I get older and continue to be uninsured, I wonder how I have been so lucky as to not need extensive medical care for anything? I mean minus the tooth of 2003.But even as I type this, I know that a real disaster could be lurking around my uninsured corner.

I am currently battling the attitude of my youth; the I- don’t- wear- a- helmet -brush- my- teeth- three- times- a- day- use- soap, without having to pay the price for that stupidity out my own pocket.

If only I wasn’t so stubborn. and well, stupid.

On turning a year older.

This year has been amazing. 

I have done and seen so much. I can only hope that this is the beginning of a streak of awesome. There are no pictures to mark this occasion. As there are rarely pictures when something important happens. Just know that there was food and drink, many well wishes and of course music. 

” Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense regardless of how it turns out. “- Havel.  I know that quote is a little ominous but i think that it is fitting for what I hope the following year will be like. 

To new adventures.
