As per my "lj nudge" request :P
So, I've fallen off of the face of the earth. It's not just here, everywhere. I just hate when life seems so overwhelming at times, you don't know where to bitch first.
Back to work last week. Shitty. I'm in pain again. Same pain as before my surgery. Shit went DOWN at work and so much has changed, I've had a hard time re-adapting to all of the new laws/rules/regulations/bullshit. People are quitting, my new manager is "different", so the stress is crazy. Plus, I can barley move my arm. This is to be expected, to an extent. I'm still doing therapy, but now it's kinda on hold because I can't do any of my stretchs or rehab. I'm basically just getting massaged because my shoulders are a big knot. I went yesterday and came home looking like someone beat me with a bat. So my therapist basically said that if I'm not better by tomorrow, he's calling my dr. to recommend I be placed on part time work, to ease me back into my job. Well, seeing as how I JUST got back and just want to pay my damn bills (my cell phone and a couple of other bills were due on the 9th, do the math). Disability was nice but didn't pay shit for the holidays, and hi-we're trying to get a mortgage here. So part time is not an option for me. Tomorrow we shall see...
Our house keeps getting pushed back. This sucks because we got notice the other day that our lease is up next month (which we knew) but our rent is going up about $40.00. While this isn't a problem, the fact that they charge $100.00 to go month to month is. That means we'll be paying $800.00 bucks out of pocket every month we stay here, which is just money we're pissing away when we could be putting it towards a mortgage. My realitor said yesterday we MIGHT still be looking at March 15th, but also April 1st. This is nothing he nor we can control, but I just want to know a. how much our mortgage payments will be and b. when we're moving. We're getting boxes this weekend so I can try to control some of this clutter. I DON'T do clutter, and it's a fucking wreck around here. I can't stand it. So that should be taken care of this weekend.
I might have to go to court Monday. My workmans comp. trial is then. I got a call from my lawyer tonight saying the insurance company wants to settle. This would be nice, but only if it's worth it (and from the sounds of it, it WILL be). If it's not, we'll go to court (and I've already taken the day off from work, which also pisses me off because it eats into my paid time off for the year). I guess the insurance company wants to "divorce" me, as my lawyer put it, so they're willing to pay out. Thankfully I told her bout the house and how I just want to be better and move on with my life, so she rounded up all of my bills, time off, etc. to try to get me more. She said the likelyhood of them settling for what she offers is slim, but it happens. She said she's worked with the attorny for the insurance company before and she's really nice/reasonable (and her name is MEG!). So she's proposing $20,000-$25,000. She said usually they come in at 50%, but shit. $15,000? Like we couldn't use that. So they have to accept/deny our proposal tomorrow because the trial is Monday. So I'll get a call from my lawyer at some point tomorrow letting me know what's up. THIS I have my fingers crossed for, although I told Nick my ideas for how I would possibly spend the money and we didn't see eye to eye, so this should be interesting.
We also don't see eye to eye on other "personal" things right now...but that's a diff. story.
So my life is so out of control right now, my freaking dr. put me on ambien because I'm not sleeping for shit. I saw her Tuesday because my system is so totally fucked up it's rediculous. I'm having 2 periods a month, cramps to die for, headaches that are making my head want to explode. Basically I feel like this big hypocondriac. Thankfully, I'm not. My dr. thinks with the stress (whether I know I'm stressed or not, she thinks I'm ignoring it), the diet I just went on, and the surgery, going back to work, blahblahblah, my poor system is just totally out of wack. So she gave me sleeping drugs (work amazing btw, I fall asleep in 15 min!) for 5 days to catch up, then I should be back on track. Thankfully if I don't have to go to court Monday, since I already have it off I can have an R & R DAY, which I need. I think if I get a big settlment I'll convince Nick to go to the beach this weekend, have him take Monday off and have us just get away from it all.
Other then that, once the house gets settled I'm planning a baby shower for my best friend. She just moved into a new house too and I'm so happy for her. I kinda feel lost because I feel like I've lost all of my friends lately. It's weird. We're just so busy I feel like I haven't talked to some forever, so I feel kinda lonely. My friend Angie (who got married 2 weeks after I did and who's husband was our best man) is trying to get pregnant, so her and I are on different playing fields and don't have much to talk about anymore. I need to call some people and really make an effort to be with my girls. I miss some of them terribly and just feel like poor Nick is tired of me (I wouldn't blame him).
So that's my pitty party. Hoping for a good settlment, that would take care of money issues. I did loose 4 pounds on my diet last week, and I haven't eatten for shit this week so I'm sure I've lost more (I can see it in my face and my pants are falling off of my ass). Maybe I can get my friend Shyla to go shopping with me next weekend, retail therapy. Thanks Lisa for givin me the nudge....nice to know someone cares ;) I am still reading/commenting on journals, I swear...and I'll let people that care know bout the settlment :)
