How can I fix your idiotic mistake today?

This week is totally biting my ass.

*Usual blather about the day-job* On top of that, Yellow Cab has made me late for work 5 shifts in a row. You'd think the company who gets roughly 1/3 of my take-home pay would be a bit more proactive about getting me here on time. After being late, I locked myself out of my computer somehow, forgot Mark's cookies to mail, and am feeling weak, dizzy, and incredibly tired. Stupid Yello Cab...

I swear I'd take the bus if it didn't take over an hour, and if my splotchy skin cancer crap wasn't getting so much worse. I now have upwards of ten brown spots that are getting bigger and grosser, 3 of which are on my face. I'm gonna be hideous in no time, and wear some kind of lace face cover like Pam on True Blood. Gak!

Stayed home yesterday. Having some kind of weird bleeding problem. Not only does this cost me a fortune in new sheets, but it's scary. I was weak and shaky most of the day yesterday, even after sleeping for 5 extra hours. They want me to take some kind of test where I drink some gunk and they watch it travel through me or something. They've also suggested that my beloved ulcer has reappeared. And again, they won't tell me how much any of it is going to cost. Not sure why medicine/medical procedures/tests is the only thing in the world you can't find out how much it costs before you get it. They say crap like "Won't you feel better once you know???" Yeah, only if I'm not gonna have to live in the box my computer came in.

I've also been hallucinating. Both bugs and fire.
This is bad.

Need to go to the dentist and get the Xrays I've been putting off for years. Again, its expensive and no one wants to tell me how much. Plus the place I need to go is a 45 minute drive. I have to use some kind of special Xray machine because my gag reflex (no jokes plz) is so sensitive I can't keep those giant Xray paper things in my mouth long enough for them to take the pic. But they keep telling me an abcess molar can lead to brain surgery. My brain is already on the wacky side, so I guess I should work that out sometime soon.

Watched The Lovely Bones movie. The movie itself was pretty well done. The story was absolute shit. Craptacular. No lie. As intriguing as it is to see a serial killer not actually kill anyone, cops not actually investigate anything, and Susan Sarandon play a big lush--it was really a big nothing in the end. Yes, it's possible to move on without closure. Woopedy Doo...then again, strong Christian overtones presented as fact tend to chap my ass anyway. Yay...let's all dance around in heaven wearing 70's clothes forever. Whee.

Before I was lucky enough to get insurance with this gig, that frustrated me, too, not knowing what medical shit was going to cost. Shouldn't there be a menu or something, and it's the same price for everyone? Or, better yet, an obvious sliding scale?

x-rays: $xxx, if you're poor: free
gunk watching: $xxx, if you're poor: free

Something like that.

Having a great doctor that knows about your budget is a huge help. Friends of mine raised their two kids without health insurance, but had a doc who does her damnednest to save them money.

Good luck figuring out what's going on. If you have apnea and get hooked up with the machine, it'll change your life. At least, that's what another friend tells me. Being able to sleep all night is highly underrated.
