Waiting for the new year

I am getting ready for the new year. Today Lisa and I went out to get a pedicure tonight and it was nice. The only thing that was bad was that the lady scratched my toe and it bled a bit. I don't know if I will go back to that lady, but I like the shop. I have a bit of new clothes and want to start saving more money. My insurance has changed, and now I have to pay $99 for my Part B Medicare. That is a *huge* hit. But my other choice was to not have to pay it, but you would pay more to see your doctors. Both my therapist and psych would be considered specialists, so there goes $60 a month, and I have a bunch of doctors I need to go to. it really sucks but there's nothing I can do. Tomorrow I'm going to call my doctor and see if he got my paperwork for the loan discharge (for the last $20,000) and I need advice with it. I might call my therapist tomorrow and ask her what I should do. I have this list of each symptom I have that causes me to be unfit for work, along with medications and things that have not worked. I don't know if I should send that paper in... I don't know. Just something I need to figure out. It's much harder than the first loan discharge, I have a lot of paperwork to fill out. I've got most of it done, just need to add something. My therapist wants me to journal more, so I'm going to try. I just feel like I write the same thing every day and nobody wants to hear it. I'm hallucinating and mood swinging and can't see a psych until the 16th. I've tried calling other doctors but they have the same problem. So I'm just going to try the guy they set me up with at the health center. I'm also going to try and volunteer more... I haven't done it in a long time. I need to get myself back on track, going to the gym and volunteering. Geo is close to the surgery... just need approval from the nutritionist and heart doctor, then they send it to the insurance for approval. I really hope he gets accepted... I've done a lot to make this happen. He needs to start exercising again but it's always an excuse. Oh well. I can't change him.

that is to funny, last night I was thinking about wanting to get a pedicure! I am sorry you bled, that shouldn\'t happen. I am glad you are still doing things with lisa. unfortunately all insurances and co pays have gone up this year, it is crazy, they say 1 in 3 americans wont see a doctor because of the cost. I blame it all on obamacare. maybe the doctor at the clinic can help you until you can get in on the 16th. you sound like you have set some good goals for the new year and never worry about what you say in your journal, I always want to read it. you said it so true, you can not change geo, you cant change anyone, as much as we might want to. the decision is his. many hugsss

Good Luck with the loan discharge! That would be a huge financial burder removed.
You are right - you can\'t change someone...they are the ones that need to do the work. The only person we have control over is ourselves.

I hope you get all the paperwork in for your loan discharge... Good luck with that it will be a big burden off your shoulders.
I hope Geo gets all the proper paper work done so he can get his surgery. When he\'s ready he\'ll exercise.. It\'s true we can\'t change anyone else.
