11AM , I am here . You know how strangely I write this , so no telling what time I'll come back and have something to say .  About 1:30 my internet connection stopped connecting , and I managed to have saved 2 sentences of the post I had started . This is the second time in as many weeks , and I don't know if it's maintenance or infrastructure failure . At least it came back up in a few hours , so I can try to make up for taking the weekend off . It was a little warmer today , tomorrow is supposed to be the warmest day in the last 3 weeks . I have a Dr.'s appointment tomorrow , and I have written down a laundry list of pains etc. , so he can refer me to the proper specialists . My wife has a meeting to qualify for healthcare thru the Ill. insurance exchange , which for poor folks is adult medicaid . Our life stories in a manila folder , to appease a low level bureaucrat  , for a chance to have basic healthcare . Have to scrape and bow just to be allowed to continue living , but conservatives would rather you just die if you don't have the cashola . Another task  tomorrow is to visit the courthouse in Murphy to register as a wedding officiant , as I have a request for a service in April . I know the couple , which makes counseling a little less stressful , for me at least . I'm going to leave you for now , back to my irregular regular schedule . Love yourselves , love one another , be thoughtful and kind , and thank God for all you are and all you have . Good night , and may God bless your lives .
