RAK is not a Klingon Delicacy
Today is a good day.
I sprained my wrist a couple weeks ago, and treatment is rest, a brace, ice for 10 min/day, and some stuff for pain that was only $5. I'm allergic or sensitive to the very stuff that would help this kind of pain, but they did have something non-narcotic for me and I can take tylenol. I'm gonna whine about the inconvenience of the brace, but it will heal.
Today is a good day.
The Dr's office scale was concurrent with what my scale says. :D
Team Chulu won yesterday. This, of course, means that Team Chulu is all BAMFs! WE ROCK SO HARD! I'm still tickled pink over this and likely will be for a week solid.
I was able to get some shirts for the family. One for each of us. Because We are Nashville. Actually, we're Murfreesboro, Nashville's first cousin, but Nashville means a lot to us. We've lived there, Husband works there, Bubby girl was born there. It's a part of us and we are helping because we are the Volunteer State and that's what we do. Because you do.
I am so glad that husband and I are in a place where we can give at the office and help some people out when the need arises. We've been debt free for a year now. Completely, 100% without debt. All the cash we have belongs to us. When you're in a plane, they tell you to put your own oxygen mask on before you help someone else and that's what it's been like for us. We helped ourselves get control and make each penny we earn our bitch and now we are able to help others so much more than we were before.
It's not just money we're more able to give, either. I decided to be kind to myself and having paid off the deficit of metta, I have extra kindness to give to others. It really doesn't take much more than complementing someone's hair to make their frikkin' day. It costs nothing, takes very little time, and changes the world.
The other day, and this is going to make me cry (again), we got a call from our local Firefighter's Association - to whom we regularly donate. He asked if we made it through the flood okay. We did, and even though I've never met this person ever, he expressed sincere concern for his neighbors (us). He wanted to make sure we had the numbers for FEMA and any help we might need and he wasn't just reading from a script. It was real. May all the saints and deities bless this man. A lot. May guys like this far outnumber the assholes like the guy in the previous post.
I only wish I had more to give.
