Dont know why im in an okay mood.....
Today has been full of weird little disappointments and negativeness. Somehow..it wasnt really a bad day...as the quality of the day is not always intertwined with the events.
My phone rang at 7:15 this morning, about 10 minutes before i leave for work. I grab my phone and see my supervisors name. As i pick up the phone i start to do a little happy dance cause in my mind this can only mean one thing...our 8am patient has canceled. I was wrong. She was calling to tell me that she wasnt feeling well and wasnt going to be in until 10. I on the other hand, needed to be there at 8. (Our 8am is a co-treat with Speech so i was able to see him without my supervisor and just not bill for it). So this was really no different then any other day but it sucks to have that moment of thinking you can get back in bed for an hour and then have it ripped away. :(
During lunch today, a lady came from Aflack to give a presentation on insurance to purchase along side of whats given by CHOA. It was the most depressing presentation ever! It just seems so absurd the way the packages work. Its like some weird gamble...do i want the hospital plan where i will be covered if i have a heart attack or stroke, the cancer plan which will help cover treatment if i get cancer, or do i want the accident plan in case i get in a car accident? The whole idea of it creeped me out. I didnt know that they has specific cancer insurance. I started to have the thought that it may not be a bad thing to have...its seems like its everywhere these days and its definitely in my family. Ive decided that its just an awful idea to send out into the universe. Its like "hey, im covered in case i get cancer....bring it on!". It just doesnt sit well.
Tonight, after getting home from work and then dinner with my sister i see something very promising in the mail. Its a letter from the lost items department at the postal service. I immediately set down my stuff and open it thinking "this is it! they have found my portfolio at last!". I was wrong. It was a letter stating that its not in the lost items warehouse. :(
The other disturbing thing in the mail was the neighborhood newsletter. I always read the attached crime report just to get an idea of whats going on but its never anything too interesting. A lot of cars getting broken into or lawn mowers stolen from garages. This time there was several reports of people getting robbed at gunpoint people men who jump out of bushes or shadows. And these werent even people walking alone at night...one report was two people walking during the afternoon!! Maybe my love for this area has made me a little too comfortable. I wouldnt walk too far alone at night but i most definitely walk around at night on occasion. I hate hearing stuff like that!! :(
