The crazy lady strikes again

Thanks to all who have commented on past entries in this blog. I've come up with new ways to approach the dilemma I'm in - ideas that didn't occur to me at all. (Oh, the advantages of finding a forum to talk this stuff out on.) Now, if only I could get more traffic to these blogs, I'd solve part of the problem I'm having with money. I've been having problems with getting going in the mornings. It's something I plan on discussing with my doctor on Monday. As soon as I take my meds and get some... Sign in to see full entry.

In this post to one of her blogs, Jemmie211 talks about her need for money. I can relate - I happen to need money for medical bills, and I hope to use the proceeds from Blogit to do that. But Blogit can only provide a part of my income. I need fundraising hints or tips, not a handout. I just wish people wouldn't misunderstand me when I ask for help. Sign in to see full entry.

Now, I'm really starting to go stir-crazy. There is only so much I can do on the Internet, so much housework I'm capable of doing, and only so much of everything else. I don't know what to do. One of the things I'm really brooding over is how to attract traffic to my blogs. I don't comment much on others' blogs because I can't think of anything relevant to say about the blog. That's supposed to attract traffic to blogs, as is posting to one's blogs every day (or more often if the inspiration... Sign in to see full entry.

I had originally planned on complaining about my financial situation, but I saw that I did so in the last entry I put into this blog. Therefore, I'd be repeating myself if I complained. Having said that, however, I wonder how to increase traffic to this blog. Ironically, this blog was doing fine in the rankings when I was actively suicidal last summer. I hate to resort to manipulative tricks to get people to read this thing; I know it doesn't help that I've been hospitalized twice within the... Sign in to see full entry.

Today, the financial stress has been getting to me. I wonder how to come up with the massive amount of money I need for the phone bill. No, I'm not suicidal - just flummoxed by the enormous amount of stress I'm under. I find myself wishing I could obtain a briefcase filled with $100 bills. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

I've been going stir-crazy the past hour or two, out of sheer boredom. I suppose it's better to be bored at home rather than at a rehab unit or the hospital, but boredom is uncomfortable. That's what inspired me to do this entry, in fact. I figure it beats having nothing to do. Sign in to see full entry.

One of the things I'm going to do when I see my kidney specialist in a couple of weeks involves asking her for drug samples. Ordinarily, she saves her drug samples for South American patients in need, but I remember giving her an equivocal answer at best when she asked me whether I needed them. I also hope to talk to the transplant team's social worker while I'm at clinic that day. Perhaps she and I can "brainstorm" and come up with a few ideas to raise funds for my meds. I hate leaving this... Sign in to see full entry.

Thanks to all of you who left comments on this blog. I am glad to know that I'm not the only one in dire financial straits. What has frustrated me in the past is other people misunderstanding my intentions; if I ask for hints and tips on how to raise funds, people think I'm looking for a handout and react accordingly. Since I've been home, my cats have been a great comfort to me. They know just when to bother me and when to leave me alone, and I'm really grateful for that. That's about all I...

As Garfield noted in her blog this morning, I'm somewhat tired due to lack of sleep. (Garfield does a better job than I could of explaining just why I didn't sleep well last night.) The drugs I take for anemia really help here, but they are not cure-alls for whatever ails me. Thanks to all who have left comments on this blog of late. I promise to read them soon. In the meantime, I have to go back to work to be able to afford all the medical stuff I need. Sign in to see full entry.

I have to admit that the money issue is finally starting to get to me, which is why I'm writing in this blog. I figure every penny helps. What didn't help was that we got socked with a phone bill of over $1,000. (We are working on payment arrangements with the phone company.) Part of the reason the bill is so high is that we are getting billed for long distance calls even when a given phone number is within our area code. Those numbers ended up on our phone bill because we have a dial-up... Sign in to see full entry.
