Monday on Tuesday

Well, today was a Monday for me. You see, I'm off work on Monday's and that way I still get my two day weekend, but then Tuesday's become Monday's sometimes. I work from noon until 8:00pm on Tues and Thurs and my plan for this morning was to get my house cleaned. Well, that didn't work out too well. I started out going thru the mail pile that piles and piles on the kitchen counter for weeks. I have this little corner of counter that I don't have to use for cooking or anything and that is where the mail that requires further action, or I don't want to deal with goes. So after it gets so high, I finally break down and sort thru it. Well, today was the day, so the pile is now small again. But my house is still dirty!! grrrr I had to make so many phone calls to deal with the pile. First, I had to call a credit card company that I had received an update on my account from. Now I had just gone thru my credit card file a few months ago and called all the companies whose cards I no longer used and cancelled those accounts. Well it seems I had to call this one and cancel twice. Why is it, they always try to talk you into keeping a card that you haven't used in years?!! That irritates me. Then I had to call about a bill I received for chiropractic services I had gotten over two yrs ago. I first got this bill in Feb. There was no phone number, so I wrote them a letter telling them I did not owe them any money and if they thought I did, they would have to prove it to me. I heard nothing the next month, then the month after that, I got another bill. So I called the Dr who had taken over that office and was told they were receiving many calls like mine and they would take care of it, I didn't owe anything. The next month - no bill. Then this month - a bill again!! Grrrr So, again I called and they said they took care of it this time, and I shouldn't get anymore bills. We'll see what happens in a couple months. Then, I had to call the insurance over a claim I have been trying to get settled since Jan. I won't go into the boring details, but I am so sick of running around in circles on this one for 5 months. Then, lastly, I had to call the local water conditioning company about a bill that I received two different statements about. I got a bill for an amount that I paid in full, then received two more statements, with different account numbers, showing I have a credit!! I know I don't have - but they said they changed all accounts over to a new system and they couldn't access the old system today - so they would have to call me back.

Then to top it all off, I received a call from the nursing home where my daughter is saying she was having some kind of episode. Crying, sweating, high heart rate, low oxygen saturations, possible seizure activity, but no fever. They had faxed the Dr and waiting to hear what to do. I called back about an hour later and they said they gave her some Ibuprophen (spelling?) and put some air on her and she was ok. Called back again this evening and they said she had another episode this evening, but after an extra breathing treatment, she was resting well. They said the Dr would be in first thing in the morning. Please keep her in your prayers. I'm not afraid of her dieing - I look forward to her going to be with the Lord and being whole and not trapped in a body that doesn't work - but I can't stand for her to suffer. And I hate not having her here at home where I can take care of her. Life is just not fair sometimes.



So, between worrying about my baby girl, and wasting so much time on the phone dealing with things that should have already been taken care of - it really wasn't the best of days. Hopefully tomorrow will be better - and maybe sometime or another - I'll get around to cleaning my house after all.
