Kame No Tabi (A Turtle's Travels)

Well I am going in for surgery on this Friday. I am getting Novasure Endometrial Ablation. Basically, they are going to burn the inside of my uterus off so I don't get my period anymore (and hopefully it will help with the accompanying mood swings and overall exhaustion that happens with the bloody time of the month)

What sucks is that DakotaCare(my insurance) only covers 80% until I've met my co-insurance of $500. And that's only AFTER I've met my deductible of $500. Well, I've met it, and then paid $118.02 on top of that for co-insurance. The surgery and hospital stay and such is estimated to cost about $9,000.00. and 20% of that is $1800, CERTAINLY more than the $381.98 I have to pay to get to my co-insurance cap. It still suck though, cause that's almost 2 whole weeks take-home pay for me *pout* Thankfully, my mom has offered to help me pay it. (Or at least loan me the money and let me pay it off in installments). I sure hope I've done everything correctly with the insurance. It will suck MAJOR ass if I made some sort of stupid mistake, and end up having to pay a bunch more. *sigh* $400 is MORE than enough considering I pay like $80 a month for this dumb insurance. :[

If my damn gall-bladder or pancreas is going to be a bitch and need to be removed, it BETTER do it before the end of this year, cause I don't wanna have to pay that $1000 again. You hear that, body? You're on freakin' NOTICE, you have 'til the end of the year to malfunction, after that, you better BEHAVE yourself!

On top of all those bills, I still owe my therapist, Dr. Thompson, around $500. (from the amount the insurance didn't cover because it was the deductible of stupidness) *sigh* I'm going to try to talk to her tonight when Jenn and I go in for our appointment and see if I can set up some sort of payment program. *grumbles* I'm a little grumpy with her because I kept ASKING her for a bill, but never got one 'til 2 months later, when it was a $500 bill :[ grrrrr.

Medical bills are made of Dumb :[

My Doctor's front office staff sucks ass. They were supposed to fax my Rx into Walmart last week on WEDNESDAY. I went round and round with them and walmart pharmacy with each passing the buck. I finally gave them a DIFFERENT pharmacy for them to fax it to ASAP on Friday around noon. They failed on that one. No Rx with them all weekend. I called the other pharmacy today, they had received nothing from my Doctor's office. I called my doctor's office and left a grumpy message with my doctor's ineffectual nurse. Then I decided to call Walmart to cancel the order with them. Guess who FINALLY has my Rx? That's right. Walmart. Argh. I am so grumpy about this. However, it's been 6 days, I've missed my Paxil all but 3 of those days, and I'm beginning to get withdrawal symptoms. ARGH. I will go to Walmart after work today and pick up the meds. Mostly because I'm just sick of the whole thing. *grumbles* Fuckfaces. Jenn is going to ask our counselor, Dr. Flynn-Crowe, whom she recommends as a medication doctor, and I think I will start going to whomever she recommends as well after my next appointment with my current doctor.

ARGH. and now I just got my latest paycheck and it's only for $200 instead of $400. I think it might be because of my vacation, but I didn't think that was effected because of my new "salaried" status. I will have to ask before I put the check in the bank, but both of my bosses are, of course, no where to be found. *sai*

I hate this depressed feeling. I am grumpy and sad and angry and overly worried, and I know it's all because I've missed so much of my anti-depressant pills because of FUCKING ASSHATTERY. *grumps and pouts and whines for cuddles from Jenn*

WHAT THE FUCKERY?!?!?!?! GOD-DAMN IT PL! KNOCK IT OFF. There is going to be a headline tomorrow "Balding Fat Man Dies mysteriously" if he doesn't knock it off. GUN-DAMNIT! (4 those who don't know what I'm rambling about, don't worry about it. I'll get over it, but I cant promise I wont shoot someone)

Ok, to calm myself down, here is a TMNT cake:

Yums! Raph cake!!

Also How the nyar did I not know this about the International Space Station? (TMNT fans, I know you're bored, but you should click on that link, you might just LEARN something)

I like this quote "Donatello is a more capable module than its two siblings" ;D hee hee.

Hmm.. LEERNING IZ FUN!

hi all,
I haven't looked thru my f-list, but I wanted to post this morning about the evilness which happened this morning. You know my new car? My orange Kia? The Mikey-Mobile? SOME BASTARD HIT IT LAST NIGHT! %^#+@%#+$@!!! I was parked on the street in front of my house like I always do. They sideswiped my baby and knocked the driver's side mirror out and knocked out a chunk of the plastic casing. ARGH. They left no note, so I have no idea who did it, so it's gunna come out of my hide. ROWR! I keel them. I keel them until they are DEAD. *sai* I know any sympathy I get is going to be tainted with "well you shouldn't be parking on such a busy street. You need to move" and all that bulls#i+. I just want someone to hold me and lie to me and tell me it's not my fault and that those people who hit me are bad nyars. *whines* Meybee my Jenn-Jenn will do so when I gets home. :(

( cut for girly bad stuff and ickiness )

On top of that, I'm moody and I have a headache the size of Zimbabwe. Grrr. Maybe it's a good thing the bastard from this morning didn't leave a note, I might have called them up and screamed at them.

Ok, work SUCKS today.

1. My computer is going all wonky and shutting off randomly. I think the power supply is on it's last legs. Sadly, it does it intermittently, so it's really hard to trouble-shoot. (I want to type that's its been behaving for a few hours, but I keep thinking I'm going to jinx it and it will shut down again.) I think it's the power supply. Like I said, it's almost impossible to troubleshoot.

2. The big postage change that USPS threatened us with back in May has come to fruition. ARGH. They have changed it so only people with a permit can use bound printed matter mail. Now I am going to be making LESS profit for my work. (because of higher postage costs) Also, I am going to have to re-invent & re-learn my entire postage printing process, and get endicia canceled. DANGNABBIT!



But, I guess there's a LITTLE bit of good news. I found some fun stuff randomly at work this morning:
+ Mcdonalds Raph (strange, how come you can't squeeze HIS legs together? he just does the arsenio fist pump..)
+ Bo-spinning McDonalds Donatello for mandy_nyar
+ TMNT nesting dolls (the little plastic ones that came with candy, I always wanted them, but couldn't justify spending $10 on them)

So, I guess there's that good.

I *SO* need a break from this. I am so glad I'm going to Utah to visit soliloquy on the 20th. We're going to drive back and bring all her stuff back here to south dakota. On the way, we're gonna visit mount rushmore and drive thru the badlands. It will be fun :) (I really miss you, Jenn ♥ )

You know, just typing out all my problems I've had today makes them look a lot smaller and more manageable. This entry was a good stress reliever.
