$15 instead of $75

November 4th, 2008 at 10:52 pm

Well, as I mentioned in a post yesterday, I started my IV steroid treatments. I had thought I was going to have to do a $15 co-pay each day I went to the cancer center this week. Going there 5 days this week meant $75 in co-pays this week.

BUT, turns out that I only had to do the co-pay on the first day, not every day. $15 is much better than $75!

And then, I did something silly/stupid. I figured, hey, that gives me about $60 I wasn't counting on. And instead of using it for a bill or to put on the CC, I bought 3 magazines, ice cream, a coffee, and 2 donuts. *hanging head in shame*

Yes, I confess. I did a bad bad thing. In a little bit of redemption, though, I only spent $30 on all that stuff, so I am technically still $30 ahead of where I thought I would be this week. That $30 is totally going to bills!

    Once when I was newly married, very poor, struggling college student, my car needed $800 in repairs. I went and spent $4 on the prettiest bunch of flowers at the local farmer's market. I told my mom and she said, "Well its hyacinth to soothe the soul." I say the same to you, "Anything to bring comfort!" ENJOY the donuts and magazines!

    I agree with the others. It was something you needed for what you're going through this week!

    You deserve every bit of it, considering what you are going through. Life is too short not to enjoy it.
