A Slow Pace

I have been slacking on my writing.  It's terrible, I know, but life has been going on lately.  For now, I am going to talk about my runs but also I am feeling like I need to vent so there will be that as well.

About two weeks ago, I was at Piper's soccer game with a friend of mine and I was saying that I needed to start running in the mornings again.  She said she needed to do the same, so that Wednesday following, we began to run together in the mornings.  Rather, I run to her house, we go for our morning run/walk and then I run home.  It's been amazing being able to get my miles in so early and I am loving it.  The sunrises are so pretty and I feel so good and alive when I finish them.  It's like heaven for me.  So, tomorrow will mark my two weeks of running in the morning, in fact there has been only one day that we didn't do something.  I have run more than 900 kilometers at this point, not something I have ever thought I could do. Guess pushing oneself does pay off.  And thankfully, up until now, I have been injury free.

This morning I wanted to use my headband with the speakers in them, I think this was an unwise choice.  It was just too much for this weather, which isn't all that bad if you think about it.  I have discovered that we have beavers up here as well from these mornings out, so that is pretty cool.  We have named him Harold, and he has a nice little set up with a dam that I am sure he's been working on for quite a while.  I am hoping that Harold sticks around and that I am able to see him a lot.  I have seen him quite a ways out from his home, which leads me to believe that he's got a friend in the pond near by or there are more than one beaver, which actually seems a bit more likely.

I am finding the beauty of the sunrise again, and that is so cool for me.  The colors are so bright and I wish I could just sit and take photos all morning long it's so breathtaking.


And now for what's really on my mind.  My little goose is on my mind tonight.  I have been working on getting a job at the VA clinic and I am hoping that I will get through the computer system with keywords and stuff like that.  Why?  For a few reasons.  Right now, I have a sick child.  What it is, I am not sure, I have been doing natural things for as long as I can, but I know that at some point, I will have to take her to the doctor.  This is a problem for me.  The problem is I don't have insurance on my baby.  The insurance that is offered at work is too much for me to pay for me and her.  And for me, it's what I consider to be unusable. There is a huge deducible that I have to meet before I can even have anything covered.  There is no co-pay, there is only full payment at the time of the appointment.  I cannot do this.  It's even more when I add her to the plan.  I can't afford this kind of insurance.  I can't afford to not have any insurance.  I am worried right now.  If I am able to get this job with the VA, I know that I can afford to get the insurance and I won't have to be scared of my little one getting sick again.  I hate this fear of being sick that I do.  I don't know what to do about this right now.  I can say that I am very stressed out about it.  I have no idea how to move forward.  Oh and if I go to the clinic, it's more than $300 to just be seen, not even getting any tests done.

There is much on my mind tonight, hopefully, running with help me figure it out... Until then, Good night all.. Happy Running~
