The freak show began. I look so different from the time before the cancer treatments that most people did not recognize me. People often have to take a second look before recognizing me. Sometimes they stand next to me and do not know that I am a long-time colleague of theirs until I speak. Everyone is surprised by my looks. They remember my voice.
I see that I might not get paid. It bothers me that I have to spend such a lot of time making sure that the benefits are covered, that the notices are done and still there is no money coming from either side. Last month I borrowed $2600 just in case something happened. Good thing. I needed it to carry me over. I may have to do that again. For everyone else. Save up for a rainy day. I didn't because I put it all into debt repayment. Pay yourself as well as pay off the debt.
Good news? Well, my cancer drugs are now fully covered outside of my plan so there is room for other things. That came through in the new budget.
