156 - Being an adult and other things
Today, on my lovely day off, I had to be an adult. I hate days when I have to pretend I'm adult, they generally suck and involve stress. But it wasn't all bad. I called all my student loan lenders and started preparing for my income-based repayment plans. I found out I'll most likely be accepted so yay, low payments! I also made an eye-doctor appointment to replace my five-year-old no longer working glasses and paid the phone bill.
Unfortunately, when I went to get my prescriptions refilled I found out they had upped the price of one of them from $42 to $175. What. The. Hell. First there was laughter from shock, then there were tears of horror. I can't afford that. So I ended up calling around and luckily found a place that only charged me $93. It's still way more than I want to pay but at least not four times the price. Holy hell. How does that even happen? Ridiculous.
As for the driving practice, it's ... going. Some days are better than others. Because of work I haven't been getting out tons, though I do try to get out for a bit every day. Yesterday I was doing really well. I don't pull off to the side of the road when I pass a car anymore! I'm starting to feel less anxious and more like I'm enjoying myself and having fun. I still have no idea how I'll ever survive a freeway without a meltdown, but I can officially drive around the neighborhood without a panic attack. ;)
