How irritating . . .

Today has not been the best of days. I had a doctors' appointment today to check on the effectiveness of my medications. The appointment went well and my medication is working like it should. But what I found out during my appointment made me kind of upset.


I found out that my claim to be on patient assistance (a program that helps me get one of my medications for free) had been denied. What is worse though is that I found out that it had been denied back in February and no one had bothered to even tell me! How irritating! And to top it all off, now I'm going to have to get this medication through the pharmacy and will have to start paying for it. I do have prescription insurance but it's still going to cost a pretty penny. This is not a cheap medication by any means.


That was the big killer of my day. The other killer was some difficult students at work just really testing my patience, which I had little of today. But other than those two things the day was alright.

Latest Happenings

I realize that its been almost an entire year since I last put up a post and for that I apologize. But anyway, here is what has been going on as of late.

In the relationship department: I dated one guy that was the best friend of my boss at one of my jobs. That didn't work out good at all. He didn't treat me with the kindness and respect that I deserve. Plus he didn't even make an effort to keep things going. So I dumped him.


Now I'm seeing someone new. His name is John and he's been my friend since 2002. We only started dating a little over four months ago but things are going well and the future with him seems bright.

In the job department: I still have two jobs though only one of them is the same as before. Sadly I'm still working at Sears about 20 hours a week but now I'm a cashier instead of being an MCA. There is a lot less stress as a cashier. All I really have to worry about is getting credit apps. My other job is newer and is a wonderful job. I'm a para educator at a local grade school and have been working there since October. I work mostly with first graders but I do have a few fith graders too.

In the family department: Things are going good. I don't get to see my brother or sister as often as I'd like, but we still try to keep in touch. I'm still living at home with my folks and keeping my mom company. I have a dog now. A little two year old border collie named Tillie.

In the weight department: I've made great strides here and am continuing to do so. When I first started losing weight I weighed my heaviest ever at 332 pounds. Now due to a recent doctors visit I found out that I am down to 304! My next goal is to reach 290 and my ultimate goal is to reach 180 or less. I know I'm going to do it. Feel free to cheer me on!

Well, that's about it. Not a lot has been going on but I'm definately keeping busy. I'll do my best to keep this thing updated, but I make no promises. You all take care now.
