42. I don't have time for grief
Too busy trying to survive. Without some kind of radical change over the next 12 months, this is going to be my family's last year with health coverage. I have to try and formulate some kind of contingent plan to take care of the family medical needs and have no idea where to start. God knows there is no help forthcoming from our elected officials. Bunch of scheming bastards couldn't agree on the color of shite!

:grr:
