Perspective
Welcome to MamaNeedJava! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Today was better than yesterday (isn’t that always the case?!). I got to that dentist appointment, but only the cleaning today- so I could break up the cost between cleaning and x-rays. Turns out my chompers aren’t in too bad a shape, pretty darn good actually. I do have two fillings that are “compromised” and will need to be addressed because there is some decay in the crack/chip/edge(?). My flossing must be doing some good prevention, because my teeth and gums overall are healthy. And of course my wisdom teeth need to come out, like asap. I’m trying to just approach all of it one step at a time, financially unsure how this will all be covered but I’ve got a little time to think about all that.
Thank you, gals, for sharing your stories, and helping me remember that I am SO not the only one with a lot of debt to pay off or getting too busy and too broke to get my medical/dental stuff taken care of. I now suspect lots of mother’s of preschool aged kids are getting their first dental work and gyn visits in years!
There’s so much more to write about, regarding this idea of perspective, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your PERSPECTIVE), I have to get to work. More soon…
There’s about 70,000 Consolidators out there that feel your pain too man! I’m so glad you’re back to the day-by-day mentality. Big pictures freak me out. I spent all day at B&N yesterday going through more or less all of their personal finance section and spent the rest of the day depressed. I literally had to go straight home and stay there so I wouldn’t go out and splurge on my CC’s. Pathetic I know, but soo true. I’m glad I read your new post, because seriously I can’t go beyond today either.
