Thank Goodness for....Insurance?

Random...

Tonight I went and had a routine prescription filled. A generic, 30-day prescription.

I paid $5.00 for it.

Had I not had insurance, it would have cost me $148.00. $148.00!!!

Things like that make me sad for the people who can't afford insurance, which means they definitely can't afford certain medications.

Every other week when I get paid I look at my insurance deduction and just sigh....because it's quite a little chunk that gets taken out before Uncle Sam gets his share. But thank goodness I have it!

Run, Forrest, Run

I just had the BEST run of my life. Sometimes, I go run because I feel I have to. Sometimes, I go run off a really bad or stressful day. Today, I went and ran because I hadn't in awhile. And I was bored, and I knew I'd just sit and eat and eat and eat if I just sat til Chris got home. So, I used our apartment complex's gym for the first time in too long.

And it was GREAT.

I had a goal of running 15 miles/ week by my birthday, and it didn't happen. Closest I got was about 10. But I'm back on the train. Today was my first step back, and before I knew it, 25 minutes had gone by, and I was still going strong.

Thank you Bonnie Tyler for getting my ass in gear. Seriously, girls, "I Need A Hero" is the greatest running song ever.

Right next to "Bodies Hit The Floor," by System of a Down, "Ain't Goin' Down 'Til the Sun Comes Up" by Garth Brooks, and "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac.

And you all thought YOUR musical tastes were varied :)

Have great days everyone. I'm off to enjoy my endorphin high!



PS...Thanksgiving updates later!
