It's time to choose my family's health insurance coverage for next year. I dread it. Aside from seeing the insurance premium going up, it seems like the coverage goes down. I still consider myself among the lucky ones who can afford health insurance. I know that there are a lot of people out there who cannot afford it. I hope that if this health insurance bill that the politicians are debating about will be a big help for a lot of people. I know of a family who pays a lot of money for their insurance premium, maybe they can go to wholesaleinsurance.net to find a cheaper insurance covevrage to save money.

I haven't been back to blogging fully. After my vacation, a lot of things has happened. Just recently, my father passed away. I don't know if this is the right way to cope with grief. Is there even a right way? I'm just thankful that my father passed away peacefully. He was able to celebrate his and my mother's 45th wedding anniversary and earlier this year, they went on a week long cruise with his sister and her husband to Mexico where Los Cabos is one of the stops. My dad lived a good life and he died doing what he loves.

I breakout when I'm stressed. I'm stressed right now so I'm breaking out. It's not that I don't clean my face each night because I do. I guess it has something to do with hormones if the stress thing is not accurate. I'm looking for the best acne treatment out there. I got myself the Zeno gadget and it does work but it uses up batteries just like that. I just hope that it dries out quickly.

Every year, the Social Security Administration sends me a sort of a yearly summary of my benefits. I signed up for it online and it's free. You get an overview of your earnings, how much money you get if you get disabled, if you're qualified for medicare and other pertinent information. It's a good idea for you to get a copy since you'll be able to see for yourself if you're qualified to receive benefits or if you need more work credits, it'll show you how many you need to qualify. Go to http://www.ssa.gov/ to sign up for it. You can also apply for benefits online or put in a disability appeal.

Would you believe that your bathroom medicine cabinet is the worst place to store your medicines? If that's the case, why did they call it a medicine cabinet in the first place? The reason is the medicine cabinet inside the bathroom tend to be humid and warm and drugs in this kind of environment speeds up a drug's breakdown process. Where should we store medicines and your top diet pills? Store these in a cool and dry place and of course, out of children's reach. I store the medicines in the pantry. If you have to keep them in the kitchen, make sure to store them far from heat-releasing appliances like the stove.

My household is always up-to-date with whatever is going on with technology, well, almost. We have not purchased a bluray DVD player..yet. We feel that the price of these kind of DVDs are quite high, don't you? Compared to the price of the regular DVDs, the Bluray DVDs are much more expensive. Right now, we don't buy much DVDs anyway, unless it's something that we really want. So will we ever get a Bluray DVD player? Of course we will. I heard that the picture is really clear, that's according to my brother-in-law. I'll have to wait till the prices come down. It's the wise thing to do right now, especially with the financial crisis that this country is in.

It's time for me to regroup and think of what I'm going to do in this next phase of my life. Should I get a 9 to 5 job or go back to school and get another degree? The kids are in a Catholic school so I still need to bring the kids to and from school each day since there in no school bus service going to our house. That means I cannot get a regular job because of the schedule. So that leaves the other option, go back to school and get another degree. Now, the question is, what kind of degree? Maybe a degree in software development which is close to my first one which is engineering. Hmm, I need to do a lot of thinking about this.
