2012:
Humm... I don't think I have any super powers. However, let's see the things I might be taking for granted: Although, I'm primarily a night owl, once I wake up in the morning, I'm fully energetic and ready to go! I seldom get sick and if I do, I recover very quickly, most of the time without the help of meds. I was able to hike Half Dome and run 10K race without much of preparation. I'm able to read people's mind very easily.
Oh... the super power that kids have made me realize and hate me for it is, being able to fill up the leftovers in the perfect size of container!
2013:
Nope.. not any extra super power. Maybe being able to keep quiet in most hostile treatments towards me. That has to count for something, right? Maybe it's my weakness for not speaking up? I've just chose to pick my battles, really tired of continuously defending myself where I shouldn't have to.
2014:
It's not so much that I have super powers, but I've been very fortunate with MJ's blessings. I really feel that I always have the blessings with me. I have managed to conquer many troubles effortlessly because of it.
BTW, I've run/walked two half marathons since 2012 with barely any training for it!
2017:
Being able to work three 3-5 full time shifts back to back?
2018:
I guess I've used up my quota of super powers? I don't know. For last two years, I've always felt and said that Things work out for me on their own. No matter what. Well, I've had two incidents within last week that make me think otherwise. We've been trying to get qualified for low income home and Avni and I had been counting on it. We made sure that we met every condition. We were SURE that we were within income limits. W2s came around and I added all the income and it turned out to be 106K rather than 93K (the limit). This means, the home we would've get for 287K, would cost us 453K! It's still much better than market value, but I'm not sure if we'll be able to afford it.
Other thing is my health insurance. Because of my stupid mistake (I enrolled for 2017 in 3rd week of December, so I didn't think I needed to 'update' for 2018, apparently I did or else I waived my rights to have insurance), we don't have health insurance for this year. Yes, I've lived without one for years. We've been blessed and there wasn't any occasion for the need. But Avni's wisdom teeth have been hurting and she really need the surgery. She was also complaining that her arm is hurting. "Mom, we've lived without insurance for years, I don't how to deal with small stuff. But it's really hurting me!" THAT hurts to hear from my kid!
Maybe MJ has bigger plans and things will STILL work out?
