Bring on the Medical Maladies

I think there is a sign on my forehead:

"PUT MONEY INTO HSA THIS YEAR. LOOKING FOR REASONS TO GO TO THE DOCTOR."

It's becoming ridiculous.

Since we rang in 2009, Himself (who has only been to the doctor 7 times in the 10 years I've known him - 4 of which have been since our move to The Frontier) and I (who went to the doctor all of twice last year) have been to the doctor FOUR TIMES (total, not each, but the new year is only 3 weeks old) this yeatr.

And I have to go again this week.

What's worse - they're not even for the same thing. It's ridiculous.

I'm beginning to think I cursed myself when I decided to try and divert, er I mean, withhold on a pre-tax basis, money into a Health Savings Account.

At this rate, even with the tax savings, we're going to bankrupt the medical budget sometime around St. Patrick's Day.

Here's hoping you just smushed ALL of your maladies into these first few weeks and you'll be blissfully healthy the rest of the year! Because otherwise...just not cool.
