Homesteading

Yes, a homestead would be a beautiful thing. I would love to have gardens of home grown vegetables, herbs, and fruits.  I would love to have animals readily available for food. I would love to make my own clothes. I have even began to make homemade products, such as soap and candles. We can make our own laundry soap, dish soap, deodorants, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, house hold cleaners, and anything else you could probably think of. We are on our way to hopefully achieving all of this in 5 years.

I have applied to go back to school this fall and I want to take sustainable agriculture. This will only help in our development of our goals!

Also, my boyfriend may start the process of buying the restaurant he cooks at and by the beginning of next year he hopes to own it. Yes, the owner’s want him to take over. Since my boyfriend loves to cook, he would love to own his own restaurant. And then, if we are able to start a homestead as well, he would have fresh vegetables and foods for the restaurant’s menu.

Life can be crazy sometimes. All you can do is flow with it!

I am sending out good vibes and warm wishes for you all!

Affordable healthcare? Ha, yeah right!

So, my government healthcare insurance has been denied and cancelled because I make too much money. Now, this insurance is for me and my son, he is still allowed to receive full benefits… thank goodness for that. My monthly income is around 800 after taxes. So, on top of bills, I will now have to try and pay for my medical issues as well.

If you not read my blog before, I have a bladder disease called interstitial cystitis. I give myself 2 catheter installations a day as well as take a daily oral medication. These medicines are costly. I have to go to the doctor and my specialists every few months. Also, due to my catheter installations my body is more prone to urinary tract infections.

Due to making about $300 over the 2 person family income limit, I now can not afford my medications and can not go to the doctor. What the hell am I to do now?

I have checked out the websites for affordable health care, but it is not really affordable. If I were to get insurance it would cost me about half my paycheck a week. What the fuck?? If my health goes down hill oh well huh? The people of this country do not give a shit about anyone but themselves (and money), especially our governments.

The government claims they have affordable health care insurance, but what they don’t mention is that it’s only really affordable if you are already monetarily wealthy. What about the middle class? Or those who actually work, but are still in the poverty level? In order for me to be able to have health insurance I would need to basically quit my job and become a bum. Sorry, I need my job.

I guess I will have to live without insurance and my medications, once it runs out.

I wish my voice, opinions, and thoughts actually counted for something in this life…

Anyway, I am sending out good vibes and warm wishes to you all!

Good night, rest well, and good vibes and wishes to you all!

I am laying in bed, waiting for sleep to take me. Hopefully tonight I will get some actual rest. Lately, I have not been resting very well. My sleep is interrupted by bad dreams, my bladder being too full, being uncomfortable, or my brain just waking up for no good reason. Hopefully, since me and my boyfriend have started working out in the mornings, my body will start to heal itself better and become healthier. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful night or day, depending on your location.

I am sending out good vibes and warm wishes to you all. May great things happen in your lives.
