Let’s see…
Things on my mind:
Marc’s dad has been diagnosed with what they think is Parkinsons… but they’re not sure it is, so Marc’s going to see if he can use his work contacts to find a new neurologist for him. Marc’s beside himself with worry…
I’ve been battling Marc’s insurance company all week long because they billed me for a routine GYN exam AND an office visit. It seems that since we discussed my condition and she wrote me an order for an ultrasound that deems it an “office visit” too, and not just the normal pap smear and physical stuff. Which just sent me over the edge…I was sobbing when I opened the bill… I have to pay close to $100 for that doctor’s visit… and what really ticked me off is that if they were going to charge me for both, I wouldn’t have waited so long to go see the doctor. I’ve been holding off on going since June because I thought I could save some money that way. So I’ve been needlessly in pain all that time and they STILL billed me for it.
This Friday is my ultrasound… I’m nervous about what it will reveal, and if/when it does, how we’re going to deal with it. Not to mention how we’re going to pay for the ultrasound itself..
Marc’s mom is already starting the holiday guilt, and she wants to completely rearrange the routine that worked out so well last year because her 90 year old mother (Marc’s grandmother) might not be around much longer, so she wants to go up to see her (a 3 hour drive away) and make all of us rearrange our plans to fit her schedule…
Finances are tight in general…Marc didn’t get much of a raise this year, and I’m looking at part time holiday work to get ends to meet.
Anastasia hasn’t been napping all that well lately, and a s a result I’ve been neglecting the housework. I’m cranky because the house isn’t as nice as I’d like it, and things just keep piling up. She’s not old enough to amuse herself while I do a lot of things, so I just have to let the housework slide…
Marc worked all day yesterday, and came home after she was in bed several times this week. His co-worker is about to leave on maternity leave and they’ll be even more short handed once she leaves…which means he’ll be working even longer hours…
I discovered that our plane fare to Vegas expires on January 10th…I can’t let $430 go to waste, so we’re trying to see if someone can buy the miles on Southwest from us…. But the one person who could buy them decided to go with Airtran instead. So now we’ve got to either find someone else to use them, or use them ourselves…which we don’t really have in the budget for another vacation right now…but it would kill me to just let $430 go to waste like that…
Then on top of this all, the new medication that my doc put me on is screwing with my system. My stomach is upset and I’ve been so moody I’m practically bipolar. It’s like the worst PMS you can imagine. It’s leaving me depressed and listless… like nothing matters anymore.
So that’s where I’ve been.
