2010 a Year Without Healthcare

As 2009 came to a close my Cobra health insurance came to an end. Even though I am overall healthy and athletic I have a long and complicated medical history, a small portion of which I have documented HERE and HERE.



On the directive of a nurse practitioner at a Walgreens walk-in clinic I went to the Clybourn Medical Center. The Walgreens Clinic is $85.00 to see a nurse practitioner. The Clybourn Clinic is $40.00 AND they have a pharmacy on site where I got TWO prescriptions for only FIVE dollars. AMAZING! Conveniently located in Cabrini Green (or what little is left of it) I highly recommend it to anyone! The doctor and pharmacist were very pleasant and knowledgeable.

One Tough Momma

I joined this group on fb, My parents didn't put me in time-out, they whooped my ass!
I posted the below photos, which were originally sent to me by my friend Yoko, and it has caused quite a response!




Most of the comments are along the lines of "Go Mom!"

The other thing about the group is that there are tons of people on there telling stories about getting their ass whooped: how often, what for and with what. The thing that blew my mind is that A LOT of people talk about getting beat with a Hot Wheels track!
What?!

I know. Crazy.
In fact, I brought it up with one of my friends and he was like, "Oh yeah. Sure."

OUCH!
