A Better Update

It would figure that after posting that last entry things would simmer down.

I spent a while just being pissed and stressed and upset because, you know, life's shit sometimes. I calmed down after a long while of trying to do research and stuff (and figuring out what kind of debt those medical bills would put me at: bad idea!); my ma asked me what was wrong because she saw I was upset and I just told her stress (I was still trying to figure things out), so she told me if it was financial they would help me out. Later, after she spoke with my pops and he told her about the hospital calling, she told me not to worry about it that workers comp always tries to deny claims and not to pay anything. So, after a few more phone calls, I guess I have to call the workers comp board and get some form or another...it's written on something downstairs...and go from there. She said if that doesn't work we'll get a lawyer.

So...I'm feeling largely better on all of that. Not as stressed, at the very least. Not feeling as if my life is falling apart completely. It still needs to be addressed and everything, but, at least I'm not stuck with those bills on top of what else I owe. Speaking of which...I still need to find a co-signer for a loan. Apparently sometimes credit card companies will negotiate for less if you can pay up front, which might be something I'll look into. I might still need a loan, but at least it would be for less.

I have a few days off in a row the week following Thanksgiving so I think I might try and plan a trip to Syracuse. Try and finally get my rent deposit back. Just need to get a hold of a couple people before I can plan that.

The ACD that had been on my mind for a while seems to have been adopted, which is good! I had serious doubts it would have worked anyways, and it's really probably just as well while I get certain other things sorted out.

Otherwise...tomorrow I'll finally be ordering a new pair of earphones: it's been nearly unbearable having to do without the past several days! I don't do well without earphones apparently...

And I just realized how horribly I'm doing at writing a novel this month. November 20 and I'm still at less than a thousand words. Can you tell I haven't been good about writing it? I would have worked on it lately but, I'm going to go ahead and blame the lack of earphones on that one.
