Sounds scary!

Glad to hear that you are ok!!

Thanks everyone! $210 later and my car is drivable again. I still need a new mirror protector thinger ($88) and there's still a dent and a good scratch in the carbon fiber. They're cosmetic though and aren't too terrible, so I'm not fixing that. Apparantly my clients are worried (especially my favorite client, who they say is calling every day to check on me, lol) because I had to call off today to get the tires done. It'll be very nice to see her again, after missing TWO of her shifts over this damn accident.

Have a Dr's appointment tomorrow. Should be interesting, considering that I haven't had a check up in a good number of years. I'm getting a physical for work and having them check out my joints once again (going to have them go through my files to see when I originally went in to have them checked) and all that good stuff.

Doc's went well, in the end. I made the appointment with my long-time doctor's office. I've been going there all my life. I get there and some new doctor starts telling me off saying that she won't see me because I'm a new patient and she wasn't accepting new patients and the office should have confirmed it with HER first. First of all, she's a brand new doctor there, second of all, there are five other doctors in the office, so I'm not sure where this "I'm the almighty god" bull comes from... Anyways, I told her to review my chart. She gave me a funny look, then I said, "flip to the very first page of my file please... Check the date, yup, that one right there... See where it says 1988? That's 22 years ago, I was four months old when I had my first visit here.... TWENTY TWO years ago!!! Now, tell me, does that make me a new patient?" She was NOT happy with me at all, but you give me 'tude and you're going to get it back. So the office ladies (who know my family and I since we've always gone there) asked me if I wanted this crotchety doctor or another doctor who I know, lol. No contest, I wanted my old doctor back. So he went through my chart with me and my joint issues started back in 1993. BUT he couldn't check my joints for me. I had to get a P-test so I can get the IUD put in on the 15th, and he said that their policy is that if a P-test is in the works, they cannot prescribe any medications. :/ So he told me to take Vitamin D and schedule another appointment for my joints. So we'll see. My cholesterol was something like 215 (?! I can't remember what it was, lol) and my blood sugar was 91. She said those were all great numbers (they tested some other stuff as well, can't remember what, lol).

Maybe you should have told her that you weren't accepting new doctors at this time.

LOL! Now that would have been a great thing to say!

I got some new goodies yesterday. Organic peppercorns (in a grinder to make it easy, though I'd love to find bulk to refill the container), organic onion flakes, organic garlic powder, raw organic ACV "with mother", organic millet, organic chia seeds and two basil plants. The spices I know how to use, but the millet, ACV and chia seeds are all new. I only really use ACV on my french fries (I use it like milk on cereal I use so darn much, lol) so I'll have to work on adding that to our diet. The chia seeds I just tossed in with corn and it worked just fine. The millet tasted like corn when I tasted a tiny bit of the dry grain, so I'm hoping to add some butter and sugar and turn it into our new "corn". We'll see anyways, lol.

I'm soon going to go CRAZY!!! Well, crazier I should say. My stepdad is a complete control freak. I'm not "allowed" to be on the internet (went as far as removing the wireless, blocking my computer, trying to put a password on MY computer that I bought over the summer, etc). Now, if I ask why, the answers vary... It's been MONTHS since I've been "allowed" to get online (of course, I sneak it when I can, when he's not home), and each time I ask why I'm not allowed or if we can finally put the wireless back on, the answer is always different... Either the kitchen isn't clean, the living room has toys on the floor, or when everything is spotless, he'll change it to "no, you need to spend all of your time away from work with the boys". Like, excuse me, Mr. never has raised a child, YOU take them for ONE full day and see if you can spend every last second with your head up their asses and not doing anything but WATCHING them (they watch tv, and then I take that chance to do something I like to do, if it's not "banned" for me). I obviously make soaps and other BB products... well, now I'm not allowed to do that anymore. There's been some spot on the kitchen sink for as long as I can remember, but in one of the controlling bullcrap phases, it somehow came to be my fault, so now I'm not allowed to make any soap or other BB products because he swears anything I do will destroy his house. I was on the computer yesterday, because I told mom I needed it... I did what I needed, then did a few things just for S'n'G's... I looked up incubators and all that hooplah, just for something to do. Don't you know, the step-dad did a full scan of all of my internet happenings and started bitching and complaining that I was looking at incubators... Like, you look at porn, but you don't hear anyone complaining that you're trying to buy a new wife, right? So shut the heck up that I was looking at incubators and such... Ugh. I'm just so frustrated. I can't stand not working, I hate being here! I actually asked work to try to give me a shift this weekend so I could get the hell away from here without spending a mini-fortune. It sucks... I can't go out and do much with the boys in the winter, but I HATE being here. I like spending time with the boys, but come on, I can't sit here for 48 hours not doing ANYTHING that I enjoy. I do that enough at work, and when I get a free chance, I'd like to be able to enjoy myself once in awhile. Yesterday I went on a road trip on a whim. Just packed up and left for a reptile zoo. Spent $50+ just to get out of the house for four hours. Then when I got back, I just wanted to leave again. I can't afford to blow money like that, but just can't SIT here and do nothing. :/ Just going to go freaking insane! /rant

Seriously?? You're an adult, right? I know it is his house, but it is also your mom's, right? Does she agree with this nonsense? Does she need a spine transplant?

 

[Bettacreek]

My mom tries not to get in it. I think she's ready to get the wireless put back in so that her and I BOTH have some more freedom (they sit in their room all day when they're here because they can't leave the room and be on the computer at the same time). It drives her nuts when I HAVE to use the computer, since it's in their room and she has no privacy when I need to use it. But she's not going to argue with him of course. Heck, we got into a fight over the stupid mirror protector on my car the other day. I said I can order it online for $88, and mom said that was probably a good idea since the mechanic would probably charge an arm and a leg to order it in. Well... he threw a fit because "it's not about saving money, it's about doing it RIGHT!!!" Neither mom nor I could figure out how it was any less right to just have a part shipped in on your own over paying the mechanic extra for his time to do it... But I couldn't even explain it, he was just so darn pissed because I wanted to save some money. He went as far as yelling at me that I shouldn't wreck then!

Can you find some more things that will get you and the boys out of the house, that might not cost so much???

Sorry for your frustrations.
