I've been doing the thing I loathe most in the whole world this morning -- summarizing the month's expenditures and trying to figure out where the money will go in the next month.
Yesterday we got the notice from the company the DH retired from, telling us what the new cost of insurance for him will be for next year. It went up by 22%.
In fact, what we will have to lay out every month for the foreseeable future just for medical expenses is going up 53% beginning in January.
Great -- now someone tell me again how you can keep up with costs climbing 53% when your income remains flat.
I've been trying to clean out books and things by listing them either on Ebay or Amazon, but that has not raised much.
Don't even talk to me about doing a show to sell my art -- I have no idea where the money would come from to do one, and doing one that doesn't generate a profit would be a financial disaster.
Someone explain to me what good forgiveness is if you can never recover from your mistake.

It keeps the insurance companies' mistakes from becoming yours.
Forgiving the individual people involved does help.
