*grumble*
I am so irritated at Denver Health. I've been having headaches every day for months, and they don't know what to do. I've been having uterine cramping for 3 weeks, and they don't know why. And really, what irritates me is not that they don't know, but that they tell me they don't know and that's supposed to be good enough. They don't say they don't know and then go find the person who DOES know. They just leave it at that and I'm supposed to deal with it. Well I'm sick of dealing with it. I'm sick of hurting, and I'm sick of being moody because of it. What the hell do I pay for insurance for, anyways? Grr.
I didn't get too far on walking one of the dogs every day. The next day after I decided to start, I took Buddy for a ride in the car and then I took Denver for a walk, so that was good. But then the next day the weather turned to winter again. It snowed again today. I'm tired of winter.
On a happier note, I met with a real estate broker today who I really like. His name is Cory, and he's a firefighter with Denver Fire on his off time. He explained a lot of financial stuff to me and helped me understand the estimate we got from our lender. I'm thinking of ditching our realtor we've been working with, but I'm not sure. I feel bad, because she's worked really hard for us to find houses to look at, but she's not nearly the advocate this guy seems to be. And I feel like we kind of need an advocate, because we have so little experience with this house-buying thing. So I guess we'll see. Our current realtor sent us a bunch of properties down in town to look at, which were totally out of our price range and definitely not where we want to live, because we want to stay up here in the mountains. Why send them if she knows we won't buy them? That doesn't make sense to me. I guess we'll see how it goes. We haven't really found anything we really like yet. We've still got a little bit of time before we have to start nailing things down.
