ROMEO, I'd Rather Have A ROSE

Grey skies returned as snow gently sprinkles downward.  NO WIND today which makes the snow outcome more pleasant and peaceful.  Perhaps I will get the 3 inches I had hoped for early on.  WHITE WONDERLAND.  It's WINTER once again.  Alright with this as WINTER will play out and SPRING ushers in mild weather and sunshine.  Tornadoes can stay away.

For now I will deliberately watch snow gently fall to the ground leaving the television and radio off.  QUIET.  HUSH.  Right now the only noise I hear is the furnace blowing with the ceiling fan spinning.  Occasionally a vehicle drives by and I can hear a distant train whistle blow.  Church chimes ring and I listen in amazement.  Still to this day, Church bells chime in this small community that I affectionately call small town america.

None better for me at the time.

This morning a load of towels are drying which will need folded.  Putting this off till this evening as I need to price BOOTH items to have ready to go to the BOOTH when Hubby gets home.  My part is to clean the items, research about them on the handy dandy computer, tape or tie price tags on item,  mark them and place in boxes on the metal racks ready to be carried to the car and taken to actual BOOTH to display.

Husband just phoned me as he had dental appointment with so-so news about his crown that fell off with part of the old build up in the crown.  Meaning a new build up and crown and additional expense. I have an on going tally with the dentist.  Sigh.  This means the balance will once again rise.  They're going to love me as I am NOT putting this on a credit card.  I'll have to MAKE payments to pay off the balance.  Even with the Insurance we have, we cannot afford another bill.  Makes my chest heavy.

ANOTHER BILL.  A bill by any other name would not be as sweet as NOT having a bill....something like Romeo speaking about Julliet about a rose by any other name would not smell as sweet.  I'd rather have a ROSE then another bill.  A ROSE!

When expenses come at you faster than you can pay off, the poker face must be put on to carry on.  It has to be as if it does not matter that there is a balance on this account and a balance on that account and a balance on another and another and another.  We have had bills through the years.  It hasn't lightened up.  The medical bills get paid a little at a time.  So do the others and I am sinking fast.

Can't seem to come up for air.  Not good.  Eventually all bills will be paid.  Eventually.  An ongoing thing.  Ongoing.

Thankful we can get medical attention, but fully know that it is expensive to get it even with Insurance.

Well I'll be....the sound of a street sweeper is passing by on this snowy, chilly day.  Street sweeper.  They'll have to go around my auto as it is parked in the street by our curb.  The city of small town america sweeps her streets.

Having coffee with Daughter today.  This will be a sweet treat as I make my way out into the cold to journey to her place.

I am a LADY of LEISURE today.  Praise God.
