Cobra and the Chronic Cough via /r/gratitude

I thought it was allergies, then a virus, then whatever.. it/the cough, came back this week. I have been paying almost 1k monthly in COBRA fees since I was laid off a few months ago. COBRA is like back up health insurance when you lose yours (loose, but good enough, definition).

I'm on my 113th lozenge for the day and entirely grateful that COBRA was an option to maintain my health insurance, and that I can afford to pay it; that I have a doctor's appt tomorrow at a practice that is less than three miles from here, and that I can stop by a speciality grocery store on my way home to buy popcicles.

On top of all of that, I had a great day. I am truly very lucky.
