1/2 and half in Second 1st

Today was split almost literally for stress. First half of the day I did mild cleaning and worked hopeful to make some of my goal before game time. Plus I had a package to run to the pack/ship place… they opened at 8 and as I’m pron to do I was there about 15 mins before they opened so I went to Kroger next door. Bought some stuff, shipped off the package and was home 30 mins before game time. (See other book for in game stuff).

Got a message from that lady I mentioned from Letgo saying she could pay via Paypal. She was asking for my number. I said something like: You can leave your address here and pay via PayPal giving her the email she could send it to, so I see no reason to give you my number. Shipping would be an additional $. So total would be$. She said I’ll send you the address as soon as the payment goes through..... it still hasn’t because I’m sure.... (see below)

During the game both I Hank and I had stuff to do @ 12. Some guy met up with me for our junk things. Sold the not working items as “things for tinkerers” for $10. I consider it junk seriously, so I just sold a guy some junk. He was excited because he just got a soldering tool and had nothing to “test” it on. He said if he can get them working he’s going to donate them somewhere. he’s really just looking for the things to gain the experience.

I came back and we finished the game session.

WHILE i was typing out what had transpired during the game in my other book here I got a call. I had not heard it, I only saw that I had a voicemail. I listened and then called back. It was about the surgery and insurance .... so I thought it would be pretty important..... Oh yeah this is where my day changed.....apparently, somewhere in their practice they thought it was a good idea .... to wait till 2 days before the surgery to call and tell me I’d need to pay 2687 before surgery.... day of. man was I in shock.... then she said they could do half that day of and the rest over 6 months.... then 500 with rather hefty payments each month. None of those options work for me right now honestly.

I don’t think I’ve had a full paycheck in nearly 4 months.... and haven’t gotten anything for the last 2 weeks. House note is barely gonna be paid.... err late now (read on) and yes we have 1,000 in the bank.... no I don’t consider this an emergency because it’s planned surgery.... Yes, I now plan on scheduling it after taxes.... I hope but i also plan on maybe a different doctor because as I see it we just got swindled.

No one had said anything about paying that much up front. I paid $250 JUST for scheduling? Man was I hot. There were calls. I was forced calm.... and there was a call back. Surgery is cancelled but I’m having a Gentamicin Perfusion done in office anyway. (80% chance it will help) .... cost on that 1600 but I’ll only have to pay the office visit up front (like $80) and that is doable.

I had gotten off the phone with them the first time and texted Mom, Destiny, and Rocky that the thing was cancelled. I’d call in the morning. I spent the next bit explaining to my mom that I wasn’t going to take what she had to go get it done. That I would be fine and I’d reschedule when we got taxes back, just that I had to cancel it for now. Destiny is worried I’ll be deaf by then. Rocky came home @ 2:25ish and I told him about it. Then we made calls.

All was calming down. I just finished the entry and was reading it to Rocky when I got a call back from the Dr.’s office. They would refund the $250 minus any outstanding balances I had with them (146) and told me about the Perfusion.... made a new appointment for 2:30 Wednesday. Good....

Reading Rocky the entry so he would be all caught up on the game because we are playing another session in the morning. Though honestly he should have no idea what’s going on because he wasn’t there.... it’s a game thing right.... maybe 5 lines from the bottom reading it to him and I get a text.

From the bank saying my balance is 0.00 WTF!!!!! there was 540 in there.... I know cause I was thinking I would transfer 400 out of my personal to make the house payment (and them be broke broke). Welp, we hopped up and ran to the bank. Not sure what time they closed. Turns out someone has yet again gotten my card information and opened a paypal with it..... WTF!!! then charged 3 Uber trips and a dinner at Chipotle (mind you I had to look up the spelling cause we have been there like once, ever) totaling at like 554 bucks or something...... so now the house note will be late because I’ll have to wait for the bank to sort it out..... should be fine should all be fine.

I blink and I get dizzy from the stress of the last few hours. I’m honestly going to take something heavy and go to bed and it’s only 5:30.....

Good night.
