Man, it has been a long time since I posted and I am sorry for that to all of those that follow my blog. I have been working now approximately 4 months (including training) and I love my job, love my supervisor, and love my teammates. I really couldn't ask for a better job.
So I have been on quite a journey the last few months. I am in the slow process of paying off all of my debts. I only have one more large payment on my last major credit card, then I will pay off of my TV and essentially have no more debts. Although I may have to try and do a 12-month no financing option and get me an
iMac computer
I am SOLD!! This computer DARS got me for work is acting like it may want to die on me. Of course the warranty is about to go out.
My other projects are to slowly do some remodeling of my bedroom/office/apartment. We have to get some electrical work done first and I got some new; very pretty, track light kits since I got a new gorgeous ceiling fan... my room is very dark because the bulb is tinted. Once I get all the electrical work done, I am going to start saving to get some new furniture, and also to hire someone to come in and paint, fix walls, replace baseboards, and put in some stick down hardwood.

During all of this I am also working on getting an overhaul on my "grill" i.e.; teeth. That has been a borderline nightmare so far. LOL! My goal was to get braces next year. Looks like that may not happen. I knew I needed a lot of work done to get there, but it is costing more than expected. The dentist my family has always gone to is a bit pricey and he is not in my "network" for my dental benefits. So my insurance doesn't pay as much and on top have to pay any difference is what my dentist charges vs. what the insurance allows to be charged. I tried going to a dentist in my network, and he couldn't even get one molar numbed. So I went back to my original dentist. I probably need about 12 fillings, may need to remove some teeth, and maybe a crown or two. ALSO, my bottom wisdoms need to come out. Sigh... So far I have had 3 fillings and go back for 3 more on Monday. But after that visit, I won't have any more
flexible spending account money to cover my copays/difference in what insurance pays. I only allocated $1000 for the year thinking that would be enough. I have $2000/yr. for overall dental benefits and I am about half-way through that already also. Makes me really wish we had had the money to get me dental care growing up. But, we can't change the past.
I have some great news though! After all of the last few months of fighting with my insurance to try and get them to agree to pay for my
Nexium... they have now approved my appeal!! I got a great letter from my doctor that described all the medicines I have tried, and he also put on there that Nexium was all that worked and I was at high-risk for stricture. I assume they don't want a wrongful death lawsuit on them! LOL! I also wrote a letter stating that I would pursue further if they did not approve it. Thank the Lord for the approval on that!
