lucoA three hour walk in March should not cause a person's face to be sunburnt...nor should it result in same person suffering from sun stroke...
And yet I am....
I am also not happy and yet really relieved, both for the same reason.
See I got a phone call today from mom. A really urgent one. See my brother and mom both aren't the healthiest of people, but with neither working they often can't afford the medication they need.
It's been that way for about two months and all of a sudden lee's asthma, which is severe, has flared up. He had to go the hospital and the medication he now needs costs about $170 for a month's dose.
Money they didn't have, especially since they needed to pay off the rest of the medical bills before they could get it.
All in all it cost about $600
And they desperately needed this.
So I emptied my bank account of all the money I've been saving to go to Denver next month and to spend at the two conventions as well as indulge myself with a few things in FMA....
But now I don't have anything, yet they come first....health is more important.
I'm just really dissapointed. i wonder if I'm being selfish. I'm actually more upset that no one else in the family offered to help....
yeah...I think I'm just going to go find something to do...
