Participant

I've been derelict in my housewife duties in that the house needed a good scrubbing so I hired a cleaning crew. They came yesterday and everything was amazing, except one thing: they took my vacuum cleaner. I'm still awaiting its return. Let's be honest, I'm not in any rush to use it - haven't in a an embarrassingly long time. But it's still mine and I want it back.  I'll still use this company again. They are reasonably priced and do an excellent job. I felt some of the Ramona Raincloud attitude lift when I came home and everything was sparkly clean. 

No update yet on the ERA. It's been 3 days and they said 7-10 business days. Waiting for AF now and will get a new timeline for a transfer or second ERA as soon as it comes. 

No news on the crown. Other than my jaw being slightly sore from the numbing shot, no issues. Even that is getting better as the week wears on. 

I was determined to do my best to have a good day yesterday and it started with telling my needy coworker that I need an uninterrupted hour without questions from her while I work on a report. If I had an office door I'd just shut it but I work in an open area and that's not an option so it was the next best thing. It worked and I was able to meet my deadline, but I could tell she was hurt. I would usually care a lot about that but these days I'm in survival mode trying to get through one day at a time and I have to prioritize my needs. 

I'm debating about how to ask for a new financial counselor at the clinic. I definitely don't want to deal with the person we've had since January since we've been screwed twice now. But I know how the office is structured and I don't think we can get a new counselor unless this one gets fired. While I want to put my best interests first, I don't want to be the cause of someone losing their job.  I'm waiting to see how things progress and take it from there. I have enough on my plate now that I can afford to put this on a back burner until I can figure something out. 

In regard to the medication billing error, I started the conversation with the pharmacy and it's already been escalated up to the director. I shouldn't be penalized for someone else's mistake and I'm making sure they know I'm displeased about it. 

Yesterday was my grandmother's yaratzeit. She was a very important part of our family and is incredibly missed. The family whatsapp group was full of stories and memories. :'(

I feel like staying home in bed and watching TV. I don't know if that's because I don't want to go to work, because I want to watch the Olympics, something else, or a combination of all of those. Avoiding people definitely won't help me get out of my funk, so I got dressed and went out into the world. I'm not quite aiming for the gold yet. I doubt I'll even medal, but I'm sure gonna earn my participant sticker. #participatinginlife

  1. We hired a cleaning crew three years ago, they come every other week and I still feel like that was one of the best decisions I made as a home owner. Yes, it's another unnecessary "bill", but I work hard for my money and can spend it how I want! My free time is worth more to me lol. But our crew never took any of our stuff, they always bring their own! So strange. Sometimes all we can do is participate and fake it till you make it.
