Whew! This has been a long week between posts! Where to I begin?
Well, had a problem getting some meds delivered via the USPS. They told the pharmacy company that the package had been delivered on 12/28. Uh..nope! I have a locked box for mail and it's not there. So I had to go to the post office (which, by they way has moved!!) and confront the postal man about it. He tells me it was delivered. Uh..nope! Then he gives me a phone # to go home and call. So I do. They connect me back with him! He says maybe one of my neighbors has it and will bring it to me. Uh..nope! (I'm thinking maye the one that thinks I "yelled" at her mother on Christmas has it and they are holding it hostage). So long story short, I had to convince the pharmacy to send me a new package (free of charge of course). They did, but I had to stay home and sign for it. No problem, nothing going on here!
Then the cat gets sick. She puked more puke on Tuesday than I would have ever thought a cat could puke. Big mess that I walked in on at the top of the stairs on my white carpet. Ish. Then Wednesday morning as I was leaving the house, I found another "gift" from her downstairs. Not as big, but just as gross. From there, she proceeded to go limp on me. Sleeping all the time (more than her normal 22 hours a day). She wouldn't eat or drink or poop. Hiding from me. All bad signs. So I finally took her in on Friday. After $340 of tests and x-rays, they say they find nothing. But, let's give her another $100 worth of shots, pills and food to take home and see if that helps. Well, fortutely for her and me, she did start feeling better. I think it was a "kitty" stomach flu, but what do I know? I'm not a Vet, I just pay one!! So she is all better now. Thank God!
To top things off, my furnace basically died on Saturday morning. It had been making odd noises for awhile, and I had planned to call and have the gas company come out and listen/fix it. But, it sounded like an airplane in my basement when I woke up on Saturday (and it was colder than normal) and then it made one last heavy sigh and it died! Good news is that the guy was able to get there within 2 hours and fixed it and it didn't cost me a thing (thank God I was smart enough to have Service Plus coverage!). SO now it's warm and quiet!!
The dishwasher is leaking and so while I was arranging for the furnace to be fixed, I arranged to have that fixed, too. Of course they can't do it the same day or with the same guy, so now I will be sitting home on Wednesday waiting for the other gas man to cometh. But again - what else am I gonna do?
Wondering if any other appliances want to speak up and poop out? They are all original equipment (other than the clothes dryer), so I imagine it's about time!
Yesterday I made arrangements for my trip to California. Today I made arrangements for my cobra insurance (insert a *perk* here: Part of the economic stimulous package allows for the government to pay 65% of my cobra insurance!! So I only have to pay 35% of it - there are some good things happening!). Tomorrow I think I will decide if I want to extend my life insurance policy. I can't make too many decisions in one day, the brain hurts.
And finally, I applied for another job today. That makes 4 so far (since December 18). It's a tough market out there! I'm not expecting to get anything soon, but I am still looking and thinking! You can't just sit and watch Maury Povich all day!!
Hope this week is a little quieter than last week. But I'm ready for whatever comes my way!
