23 Juli - Blank

I sat here with journal articles spread around me, cross referencing, number crunching, recalculating, comparing, and then coming back around to where I started... which is pretty much no where. Can anyone tell me how much a dialysis session costs in the US? How about a shot of insulin? Might cost 1$ here and $500 there, but I can't even find representative averages let alone a single price. Studies show these broad ranges of yearly spending that don't tell me diddly.

Poor Nora is not having a good day today. Her boyfriend, Bjorn, is doing his thesis research in Sweden next semester and has been trying to find a place to stay. Unfortunately the place they found seems to have been a scam. They guy was slick though and even sent paperwork for him to sign with his name, a number, and a passport ID. So Bjorn signed the document and sent the guy the money for the deposit. Nora suddenly thought of checking over the internet for information on the guy and when she googled his email it sent her to a page about him being a scammer. I feel so bad for her and Bjorn. It's like you think you check in every corner, but there is always something lurking in the shadows. They are trying to stop the check via Western Union before he cashes it, but won't find out if that is possible for a few days. Again, I say I am so lucky to have found Nora who is not only honest, but super helpful and sweet. I just don't know why people do stuff like that. I hope it works out somehow.

Surprisingly though my frustrations, the day seemed to fly by. Just when I was about to toss my laptop out the window, Skylar came home from school and it was time to make dinner.
