Changes, Changes...

This week has been pretty crazy.

Monday, I tried to get a doctor to write me a letter of recommendation that I could send to my insurance company to get a new processor for my cochlear implant. The doctor refused until I got a test done to see if "the inside part works." It was pretty frustrating. I just wanted to tell him "You were an hour late to see me, now I'm late for work. I just paid 85 bucks to see you for five minutes for you to reject the reason why I'm here. OF COURSE THE INSIDE PART WORKS! It's the outside part that's broken... look at it! It's all mangled and falling apart!" But no, he wanted to give me the runaround. I've been waiting for months and months for a new processor and there's just new reasons popping up for why I can't get one. Hopefully, this gets resolved soon, because it's driving me nuts!

Tuesday, I got let go from my nannying job. Apparently the mom, all of a sudden, decided to stay at home. So, that means I got a three day notification, leaving me with no job and no money til I find another one to last me til I move to Tennessee. I hope I get blessed with finding a way to make money.. heaven knows I need it.

Wednesday, I got a stomach bug.

Today is Thursday. Stomach bug is gone. It's the last day of work. At least I can see this event from a humorous point of view. So, last night, I decided to set my alarm for 5 AM so I could work on my painting. I went into a rut for a few weeks, but now I'm back! I've been working on a painting of a butterfly, which is going to be awesome. It's more of a design, but I'm pretty sure it'll sell so I'm very excited to finish it. Well, 5 AM came around and I decided I didn't wanna work on my painting and to sleep in til 6:15. (In my mind at the moment, 6:15 was the time I was supposed to wake up and go to work.) Well, I slept in til 6:20 and freaked out cause I had to leave in 20 minutes to make it to work on time. It was 6:45 by the time I was done and I was freaking out cause I was going to be SO LATE! While I was speeding down the highway, I realized.... It was 6:45 and I didn't have to go to work til 8.

Yeah.

It was too late to turn around and go home, so I decided to go to Target, but it was closed til 8. JUST MY LUCK!!! So, I'm at McDonald's writing this informal journal/blog hoping that someday I'll look back on this and laugh!

Also, my boyfriend has been gone on trek, a latter day saints event where the young men and women go out in the wilderness dressed as pioneers and walk for 10, 20, 30 miles while pulling and pushing handcarts. The point of trek, is to give the people who attend, a small taste of what the pioneers experienced. I haven't spoken to him in two days, which is kinda hard cause he would be the one who helped me get through the long days at work by keeping me distracted from the occasional boredom. I won't be able to talk to him til he picks me up on Friday.

Oh yes! I'm going to Tennessee tomorrow! It'll be my first time in the middle/southeast part of the United States and I'm so excited! I guess I can consider it a "celebration" for surviving work and as a nice break til I have to come home and find another job. Also, I get to see my boyfriend! I haven't seen him for a month and a half! It's been really hard... but the day is finally here! (Almost.)

Well, that's pretty much my week, folks! I know it's not anything TOO exciting but I just had to vent!!! I feel a little better now. I'd like to thank everyone for their support by reading my blog! It means a lot! I'm always surprised by how many people come and read what I have to say. You guys are the best!

Til next time!

Laura
