January 3, 2011

Managed to get up with my alarm even though I was working with less than 5 hours of sleep. Got myself together and headed to the medical building. Signed in for my CT scan only to find out it had been canceled. They didn't have my blood work. Why? Because they called the wrong doctor for it. Did they call me? No! Then they had to process my insurance which took forever because my insurance company was experiencing technical difficulties and had their system down. So I waited only to find out that I have a deductible that must first be covered. The deductible is $750. I asked how much the tests are. Then communication issues ensued because the girl instead told me what I would need to pay that day, not the total for the tests. Bottom line, I have to pay the whole $750, they were just willing to let me pay a deposit of $500. Course, not knowing I'd have to write a check I hadn't moved money from my savings to checking account, so that check wasn't approved. So... I fasted, spent over two hours waiting in a crowded room, just to be humiliated and left in a position of having to reschedule my appointment for another day. Sure, I could have come back later in the day after a visit to the bank, but I was FASTING. How long would you want to run around doing errands while fasting? Okay, okay, okay, so I know I've done it for days, weeks even, but yesterday, I was not in the mood.

Reheated two green quesadillas for breakfast/lunch. Snacked on the last of the Good and Plenty. Dinner was a small Stouffer's meal of Salisbury steak with mac and cheese. Also had three chicken tenders, finishing them off. Sis brought home JITB strawberry milkshakes. Yes, sometimes a strawberry shake can make the world a better place.
