I have this pain on the left side of my body. Just underneath my rib cage. It only hurts when I bend down to pick up something. Those doctors at the clinic leave nothing to chance. I called and explained the pain to a nurse and I am back in there tomorrow for blood work and x-rays. I assume it is just the residual aches and pains from the chemo recovery. The numbness in my hands is annoying (but that could also be from playing Angry Birds)
As you know, I am widely regarded as the cheapest man on the planet. June's friend, Glo, calls me, GDG- stands for "good deal gil". Nowadays, I kind of look at money a little differently. Not that I am making it rain everywhere I go (that means spending money like it's water), but it is all about perspective. I don't go to 3 different grocery stores to buy 6 things, looking for deals. My time is worth more than the 2 bucks that I may have saved. Mind you, I still analyze every purchase like I am stepping into mortgage, then I realize that I have been standing there in Winners for 20 minutes mulling over a t-shirt for $15. Our household has also gone organic. Including meat. I thought that would kill us financially. June makes it work by spending the same amount of money on the organic meat as we would regular meat. So instead of a huge pack from costco, we get less meat. The budget stays intact and we just eat less meat and more veggies. Living in a world where convenience doesn't always equal healthy, the importance of food is something I realize I had neglected for a long time. The Macdonalds head office called my cell and asked if I was ok as I have not been sighted in any of their locations for months. They were concerned that something had happened to me and also profits for the last quarter had dipped significantly due to my absence which led to the stock dropping a few percentage points and the shareholders were beginning to panic.
Ah well- have you ever had the Veggie burger at Vera's? Tastes like a regular burger to me!
