Happy New Year Plans!
Howdy Trail Buddies!
My special plans? I'm skipping the family party.........staying home & very happy about it!
So what are you doing tonight? Tomorrow? xoxoxoxo Happy New Year Ya'll!!!!!!!!
I have goodies simmering to make homemade nachos..........to go with a fresh line up of flicks for tonight.
It smells so good. Little bubbles of steamy deliciousness are wafting through the air!
(using low sodium options that work for me, lottsa protein mainly.....)
Sooooooooo, I'm feeling excited......I got the bed made! FRESH SHEETS YAY! I got meds! I had a huge meltdown today and blubbered......blew my nose till all the sadding left - then I felt pretty calm. Calm and determined......I got lots of gorgeous fresh produce today......can you say SALAD? Yummmmmmmmmmmmm..
I talked to a medicare info specialist today who helped me understand a few things. She helped me sign up for a plan so I can get my medications. Since I'm transitioning I got lucky somehow......able to still get my meds today......despite being way behind.
She referred me to a state office so I can talk to someone in more depth about how it all works. I feel, no I am a lot poorer all of a sudden.......with the cost of meds/medicare for medical/a supplemental plan for meds.......and the reality that it still means I owe another additional 20% means less of everything in my dwindling funds. It is daunting.....to be ill and to feel worried. I should have prayed then called, but noooooooooooooooooo, I called, cried, officially had a melt down...........it's a big pile of change coming out of a not very big pile of coins. I will figure it out.......it'll be alright. It just takes some planning..........gotta remain positive.
I was finally able to locate a copy of my divorce decree to send to the morons who hold my mortgage. The short story is that they SUDDENLY changed my last name in October and they can't seem to put their hands on anything that shows them what my legal name has been since 2002. Stupid shtupid MOE RONS -------- every stinking one of them.
Had a whoopsie at the store today. I asked the customer service person to fax the decree document for me. She said they don't do that anymore. Frankly she said ---- she doesn't know how she found the time. Being in the lingering stages of crabby mode w/a heavy emphasis on help me or I will start blubbering again I wondered......
"In the time it took her to confide in me couldn't she have have faxed it?" I looked up at her from my electric cart and said I would go to their nearby competitor. They would be happy to charge me a nominal fee for this helpful service. I would grocery shop there. I don't have the energy to do both. Sat there quietly for a moment. She looked at me (you could see the gears turning in slo mo....."ah crap, if I don't help her, this won't look good huh!" She finally insisted that they could help me. Huh. Well. There you go.
It wasn't all smooth......it had some definite moments of what the hey. She directed me to another area, another associate would help me. I turn the corner and there it is........a long narrow flight of stairs. It was almost twice as many stairs as in my home. WOW, she sent me off to climb stairs, major risk - falling. I went back and said I appreciated her directions but without an elevator I had no access. Friendly polite words tinged with delicate sarcasm was about all I could muster.
I wanted to flip out, too worn out from flipping out at home earlier. LOL........I don't mean to sound like the world has to stop for me, we all need/appreciate common courtesy/common sense.
It finally got sorted out, but I thought wow at least 32 times in the longest 40 minutes of life. (when she was on the phone with this other associate..... she paused and asked me what was on the document I wished to send. WHAT DOES THAT MATTER? I didn't particularly feel like announcing to all the people standing there that it was a divorce decree for my mortgage company. AGAIN, what does it matter?
I told her it was personal info that needed to be faxed to a business asap. sooooo rude..........somebody needs to teach common sense. tact. my hair is whiter than ever............and that's the truth........moe rons wear me out.
If I had the energy I would like to teach customer service do's and don't to local businesses. They need some help. The woman I talked to first was around my age & told me at the onset of our talk, that she has been with the company for 17 years. Does this mean that in all of her SEVENTEEN YEARS she has never assisted a disabled person professionally? Done it well? That's pretty messed up.
Moving on I bought some FLARP (don't ask) and a Slinky in the toy dept. I needed it................no where to go but up. I'm gonna act like a goofy little kid, eat some nachos, watch some comedy.....then watch the ball drop to welcome in 2013 if I'm still awake...........!
Hey I also entered the HGTV Dream Home Sweepstakes for 2013. You can enter until February 15th I think, not 100% sure..........a home in beautiful South Carolina.......a brand new SUV and $500,000 in cash. I'm gonna dream about living life large this year..............why not????????? first pch.com and now this.........crazy. lol, again Y not?
OK, it's time to go build my nachos............! Fun begins NOW!

Hi Ruthie! Happy New Year! Hubby & I are home too. We usually stay in on New Year\'s Eve. I can hear the fireworks already going outside. My treat is a yummy sugar glazed donut , with my tea. Hubby is having shrimp & cocktail sauce. Hubby has been sick for 3 days with a nasty cough, sore throat & congestion. I started having a sore throat today. Praying I don\'t get it too. I have 2 dr appts on Wed.
Sorry to hear you had a rough day. Things have a way of working out but try telling yourself that...at the moment you are over whelmed with emotion . I know what you mean about customer service!! Some of those people are so rude & uncaring. I think they are over worked with less employees being hired. It\'s still not right to treat people like dirt. Good for you standing up to them. I will be thinking of you tonight when the big ball comes down. ;). May the New Year bring the bright light back into joy. God bless my dear friend. Xoxo
Happy nachos and I can\'t wait to her how you won the big prize. Ia m rooting for you.
I love slinkies, didn\'t know they were still around.
Boy life can be rough fro anyone with the cost of things but when you don\'t feel well it does seem like a huge mountain.
Crying is good. Healing.
I don\'t have any New Years Plans. But I do have resolutions. To be as good to myself as I can, to love myself no matter what .
