"Blood Bills"

07/19/2002

Good grief, do people still read this thing? I know I haven't updated in like forever (or almost two weeks, whichever comes first) but there hasn't really been anything to update.

I finally went to the doctor for my bloodwork again. It is such a pain in the ass to drive down there. It takes about 30 minutes to get there and I end up sitting in the waiting room for another 20 minutes, reading month old copies of Golf Digest or whatever out of date subscription they currently have. Then they take my blood and I leave to come back to work. An hour and half out of my day. Luckily I don't have to use vacation time for it, but still it's a pain. So I asked my doctor about it and she said there is actually a LabCorp in Arlington where I can have the blood drawn. It's only 10 minutes away and hopefully they've got better magazines in their waiting room -- like Penthouse.

I also managed to get a consolidation loan for all those pesky little (little? HA!) hospital bills from the Great Clot Incident. It's nice having them paid off and only have one check to write every month. I still owe a metric butt-ton of money though, but I finally feel like I'm getting it under control. This has been a constant source of stress for the last two years. Slowly but surely I'm getting my shit together... 'cause y'know I have plans. ;)
