Friday! in Since OD is shutting down....

I’m always so glad when Friday comes because that means I get a whole day to myself before the weekend comes. It’s been a good morning and my daughter was in a pretty good mood considering it’s the end of the week. Normally she’s pretty tired and grumpy by Friday but today she was in a great mood and ready to tackle her day. I’m always glad when we have a good morning because a lot of the time I’m pissed off and stressed out which isn’t a great way to start the damn day.

There’s some shopping I need to do but not everything I’m trying to buy is at 1 store and I don’t want to to several different stores today but I also don’t want to take my daughter with me everywhere tomorrow because then I end up spending more money than I planned on. Ugh, I just hate shopping because everything is so expensive!! This inflation is really getting old in a hurry and it would be great for groceries to be affordable again. I’m struggling to keep food in the house and even though we never run out, I have to carefully plan trips to the store, how frequent and how much I spend at one time to make sure that we always have food.

My appointment to do my MRI is on Wednesday morning. I am definitely scared about what they could tell me. I’m definitely worried about it because it could be a life changing appointment but my pain is too much for me and I want my life back. I just hope whatever is wrong can be fixed without surgery or me needing to do on going treatment because I may not have insurance to pay for injections down the road or physical therapy. I’m just ready to know what’s going on and what it’s going to take to get some relief.

I ran to the store and got what we needed. I am seriously so fucking sick of everything being so pricey! I got shampoo, bath bombs, body wash, a couple wax melts and some body scrub and it was $26!!! I am so beyond over this inflation crap that I could scream!! I just don’t get how the fuck they expect people to survive when everything is beyond what affordable could be!!

So because of my back issues, I wonder what things are going to look like if I were to file for disability. I know that I just want to find a decent job and start saving to buy a house one day but if I’m unable to work, what does that mean for my life plan? I’m just really concerned that if I need ongoing treatment I have to keep my health insurance. Most places here don’t offer it with employment and if they do, it’s no where near affordable. I’m not trying to just sit around and not work forever and I really wish that I would have started dealing with my back problems about a year and a half ago when I first got insurance but I didn’t really think the pain would get this bad.
