Journey to Health Insurance
I have had continual health insurance until December 5th. My divorce was finalized on 12/5/13 and my health insurance abruptly stopped on that exact date. No grace period. The COBRA letter came on the 20th with the price tag of $621 a month. During Divorce Negotiations I knew this was in the future so, in… Continue reading Journey to Health Insurance
Sounds of the Season
I am not talking about the horn honking from someone being cut off in the mall parking lot. I’m also not talking about the screaming from one driver at another because of the traffic. I’m talking about Christmas and other holiday music. I am that person who would play Christmas music all year round but,… Continue reading Sounds of the Season
Grateful
As you may have heard many places, an attitude of gratitude helps make life better. The challenge to end the second week of Elf for Health is to list out 20 items/people/places/things you are grateful for. My health – while I may not be an ideal weight, I am healthy and enjoy life. My children… Continue reading Grateful

November in the Rear View Mirror
Another post that is going to have a bit of this and that in it, I think. November is gone and it was a tough month for goals being reached. Ran race 13 (Richmond Marathon) and race 14 (Pete Keyes 5 Miler Turkey Trot) this month so have reached my goal of 13 in 2013.… Continue reading November in the Rear View Mirror
Winter Has Arrived
Not sure where you live but Winter Storm Boreas – if you follow weather, you may have noticed last winter The Weather Channel began naming winter storms – is giving upstate NY an early taste of winter. How early you may ask? Well, we have had snow earlier than this but not the bitter cold… Continue reading Winter Has Arrived
Monday Coffee
This post is going to be a little bit of this and that, including a winner for my #runBlueRidge contest. I took out all the chit chat in the comments of my giveaway and counted up the comments. I then put the number in a random number generator and got number 13 as the winner.… Continue reading Monday Coffee
Richmond Marathon – Recapping Race Day
Grab a warm beverage. I truly recommend cocoa or herbal tea today as it is cold, January type of cold, here in Upstate NY. This will probably be long. I took a Greyhound bus, actually two, to Richmond so was without a car. At first, I didn’t think that was going to be a problem… Continue reading Richmond Marathon – Recapping Race Day
