The Last Week of Medical Stuff, I Hope

Since I don't know what will happen when my health insurance runs out, I have been going to get vaccinations and checkups. This week, I have my "lady stuff" done - pelvic exam tomorrow and mammogram on Friday. That should do it, as long as there aren't any problems. So, next week, I will register again with the staffing agency that got me the last job and see if they can help me again.
The picture is my painting that I delivered yesterday to the gallery for their November show. The October picture didn't sell, so I got it back.

That's a beautiful painting. I hope that it sells and gets you some good money. Good to go for these regular checkup for our safety. Hope all goes well.

@arunima25 everything went well! No sign of any problems. Now I can rest with a clear mind.

@AliCanary Wow, high school!
Have you ever thought about turning your art into greeting cards too? Although, that may not be lucrative enough for you.

@AmbiePam Yep! I actually sell my own cards on Etsy. Here's a picture of some of them.

Thank you so much! I didn't tell the gallery, but I did it in high school. I really like it, though!

Always good to get the exams out of the way. Hope your staffing agency gets you an assignment soon. I love those places, they kept me busy any time I wanted to be busy.

I know, I'd rather let them look than spend all that time myself. And it's nice to be able to "audition" a place with no commitment.

Thank you! I have the option to go on my husband's health insurance, but he is planning to retire next year, so we will have to figure out something more permanent.

It's priced at $175, which includes the gallery commission. It's framed now, of course!

That's an interesting painting. America has a very different health insurance scheme to ours. I hope you're able to find work soon.
