Craptastic Day!

Don't forget to stop by and enter my Calypso bracelet giveaway.
********************************************************************************

So I woke up this morning looking like my eyes were "two piss holes in the snow." Anyone get the reference? Angels Ashes, great book.

I call my regular eye doctor. I tell them I have new insurance. They take the Id number and tell me to come right in. I drive 20 minutes to the office. The receptionist looks at my card and says, "We don't take this insurance." Really? Why couldn't the receptionist I talked to before I drove here tell me that? I go to the car to cry. Why I'm not totally sure. Yes it is frustrating but clearly not worth crying over.

I call Dave to tell him about the eye doctor not being apart of our insurance anymore. He calls me back with the number of another practice that takes our insurance even though he was running out of the door. He is really sweet and probably could tell I was crying.

I go to get my blood drawn to check my TSH hormone levels. The endocrinologist's office claims they sent over the paperwork yesterday. Of course, the blood draw office doesn't have it. I go to my car to cry again. What is wrong with me? Then I pull myself together and have the doctor resend the info.

I go to the new eye doctor's office with no problems. He comments that I have "quite the raging case of pink eye." Indeed. He gives me a free sample and a prescription. I try to get the prescription filled before I have to pick Davey up. I have 20 minutes but you know where this story is going. The pharmacy is busy so I pick Davey up and then return to the pharmacy to pick up the prescription. I manage not to cry.

When I get home, Dave tells me the mortgage has gone up $261 a month since our refinance. WTF. I tell him to call to figure out what the deal is. We got reassessed so I figured the value of the house went up a lot since we have made improvements and the market price has increased tons, etc. Nope that was not it. The assessed value was actually lower. Not sure how, but also not complaining. The mortgage company was not taking enough money to cover the taxes before we refinanced so they "fixed" it. That refinance that "saved" us money doesn't seem to be totally working out that way.

Our house insurance also went up $280 a year. So not cool.

Also the wire in my bra snapped too.

I should have stayed in bed today.

What a day! Sorry about the pink eye. As a contact wearer, it's one of my many eye related fears.

And I hate when the wire on my bra snaps. I recently read that the average woman owns 12 bras with 6 of them being the ones she wears regularly. Really?? I have three and that's like an abundance of riches for me. I'm obviously not average.

awwwwww...hope you are having a better day today. It is nice that Dave is so supportive.

I've had those breakdown and cry moments too. Sometimes you just can't help it. When you reach the brink of frustration you just gotta let it out...

Wow, what a crappy day. I hope it gets better soon for you. Be careful with that pink eye and all that crying, lol, or you'll be spreading it all over.

That sucks on the re-fi. UGHHHHH. Major sucky! Shop around with another agent if your agent cannot find you better house insurance! We just did that with our house and car. We had the same agent 20 years! I called another one and they saved me $1K on the cars per year and $200 on my house per year. It was bizarre. AND the house coverage was better while the car insurance remained the same. Go figure.

That is the worst! I hate it when one thing happens after another. I cry a lot when I am frustrated too. I don't know why, it just happens. I hope that things get better soon!
