Have been developing a bit of a dry cough for maybe a couple of weeks. Was hoping it would just go away. It's not. It's getting worse. I should probably see someone, I had a pneumonia in my thirties and it was misery. Don't want to repeat that. Problem is, I am currently uninsured. And as I live now, with all these responsibilities for supporting various people and children, a $400 trip to the doctor or a $2000 trip to the ER just really isn't in the budget.

Very stressful being uninsured. You're always just one bad day away from a huge bill you may not be able to pay. Oh well, what are you gonna do. I think I'll just sit tight. See if it blows over. Maybe it will.
