When Life Becomes A Circus
You ever just need a do over?
I need a do over for this whole week. It’s Friday, the best
day of the week; for most people. For me it’s another day at the circus. Last
Saturday is when it all began…
Saturday September 27th
I checked my bank account to assure that my paycheck went
through. It did, all was well. I scroll down and see that my car insurance
company withdrew $1187.00 from my account which was supposed to just be
$187.00. Of course I had to make a call, so I spent 2 hours on the phone with
both the insurance company and the bank to assure that mistake was taken care
of. I was promised on both ends that the situation would be rectified…it’s
Friday and guess what? My money has still not been returned.
I called Geico this morning and voiced another complaint. I’m
calling the bank this morning to speak with the accounts personnel and to
really find out what the problem really is.
Sunday September 28th
It started off as a blessed morning, my husband and I went
to church as usual but in the middle of the sermon I started not to feel well
and being pregnant, I didn’t want to take any chances. We left and went to the
ER…I ended up going to 2 different hospitals because the first ER I went to
wasn’t moving. People were checking-in but after 2 hours, no one was called in
the see the doctor, the ER waiting era was just getting more and more crowded.
I left and went to a different hospital, I was there for a
long time also, but there were getting people in and out on a much better
trajectory than the first hospital. I was diagnosed with an infection and given
some medication and a prescription. When I finally got home it was well after
8pm and the only thing I’d eaten was a bag of white cheddar popcorn and 6
chicken nuggets. Not good for pregnancy.
Monday September 29th
Monday is the only day I can say I had a pretty good day. It’s
probably because the only time I left the house was to go to Walgreens and to
the grocery store. I didn’t leave the house for the rest of the day and I’m
glad I didn’t.
Tuesday September 30th
My last day off. I went to the DMV to get my license and
registration updated. Since I’ve changed my name, it’s been hell trying to get
everything update in all of life’s computers. I wasn’t able to get my license
updated because I did not have the court issued marriage license. Although, I did have my social security card;
which I found out is as useless as ever when updating your personal
information. Makes no sense when you think about it, because the marriage
license displays my maiden name and not my married name but the social security
card, which has been officially changed by the federal government, has my new
name but that’s not acceptable.
Wednesday October 1st
The day of redemption!! Back to work, back to life as usual.
Only, traffic was so terrible that it took me 2 hours to get to work. To give
you some perspective, I live 24 miles from my job, door-to-door. In theory,
that should take 35 minutes 40 minutes at the most. I left work at 1pm
yesterday, ideal traffic – took me 35 minutes to get home. Traffic was so treacherous
that it took me 1 hour to travel 14 miles a ride at any other time that would
take about 20 minutes. Why? Well, I
assure you there was no accident. It was a light drizzle, nothing to really
slow down for.
I’m fully and truly convinced that when some people just don’t
know where their job is. It seems to me, that anyone who goes to work everyday
to the same place they were at the day before would just get in their car and
go there. What’s the hold up? You forgot how to get to your cubicle? It’s the
same drive every single day. And obviously there are those who legitimately travel
to a different work site everyday but I’m specifically referring to people, who’ve
been at the same job, same cubicle for years…
I was late for work; making my already short pay check even
more so.
Thursday October 2nd
The day started out fine. I left work early to get to a dr.’s
appointment, a very important one. I get there and one of the nurses informs me
that the doctor doesn’t use that particular office on Thursdays and that he
actually works from a different office in the neighboring county. I almost
cried, but she called the office and let one the nurses know and so I did
eventually get to see the doctor. I had to rush because I’d already had a late
day appointment and I didn’t want to waste time and end up not being able to see
the doctor.
I also found out that I have to get my ultrasound at an
ultrasound facility outside of the doctor’s office. I don’t have a problem with
that, other than having to take off work but I just find it interesting.
Friday October 3rd
I can’t thank The Most High enough that this week is coming
to a close. I want nothing more than for this week to be over. I don’t even
want a do over, I just want to get my life back on track and move on. Today is
a normal Friday, not having my refunded money aside. I just pray the day
continues without any more foolishness.
