Ribs:
So Saturday morning, my left side hurt, up by the ribs. Like, stabby type pain, mostly at the deep part of breathing. Despite my mother's concerns that I was having a heart attack, I have not died and it's improved. I'm thinking I might have pulled something or torn something. I'm kind of unhappy at having gotten behind on exercise stuff and think I may try to pick that up tomorrow with something light.
This also brings to mind the awful catch-22 of medical. I have cheapo insurance with the deductible of $1000. It does handle emergencies and major things but is kind of crap for routine care and such. I could drop this and get Genesee Health Plan which is very good for routine stuff and prescriptions, but does not handle emergencies.
I loathe our medical system.
House:
Still working on the house. I haven't done a post yet. Need to get over there and work on Thursday. My big concern is still making sure I can breathe in the place. We need to clean out the furnace/filter and all that, and make sure the basement is painted over and clean and such.
Park:
So I'll be working two jobs this summer -- the library in the morning/mid-day, and then parks in the afternoon. Parks was seriously cut budget-wise so there's only one shift, so odds are on days I'm working park (probably 3-4 days a week) I'll be there from 4-8 or so. It'll be library straight to park. That's okay though - gets me outside, which is refreshing, and gets me more money.
