Friday (original & creative subject title, huh ;-)
Don't think I've updated this thing in over a month. I've got something of a Catch-22 when it comes to LJ. When I've got all kinds of stuff going on that inspires me to write, I'm usually too busy to stop and write. Then when I have really not much going on, I also have really not much to write about.
Well, I had today off from work which was nice. However, Fridays are possibly the most depressing days to take off. I always get a sense of euphoria when I get off work on Fridays, knowing I have the weekend to look forward to. I see all those people who worked all day getting that feeling now and for me it's just another day. I sort I feel left out. Kind of like a joke I'm not in on. Ah well, It was still nice to have a day off.
And I do realize I'm lucky to have a job, especially in these times. My last review went really well, which I guess is as much job security as anything else. And I do get a sense of accomplishment from my job.
Still, like everyone else I'm really scrambling to save for both the unknown and what I do know. One thing coming up is a fortune in dental bills. My lawsuit against my old dentist that screwed everything up is just starting (he'll probably be served on Monday and I'd love to see his face) but I've been advised that these things can take years and I need to have the work done now. Meh! Dentures are looking really good right now.
And of course there is no guarantee I'll win. I am going to be up against the insurance company's lawyers. Seriously, health care in this country would be so much more efficient if we could just ditch the insurance companies and use that money towards providing affordable health care in the first place. Yeah, I know that's not gonna happen but I can rant.
Closing my eyes and picturing a world with no insurance companies or lawyers. Ah, happy thoughts!
