HAVE YOU EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS?
by extexan at 7/20/2009 9:47:42 AM
I started my day trying to keep an early morning Dr. appointment....My Dr. is on the other side of Charlotte, I live in Rock Hill....I had been putting off having lab work done....blood work, due to having to fast...I figured I would go straight to the Lab from the Dr.s office.....So I had not had anything to eat since 9pm Sunday....
I have type II diabetes....In rushing around trying to get out the door, I left my cell phone behind.....When did I miss it???? When my truck over heated and broke down at the side of the interstate.....
I gave up on the Dr. appointment, as there was no way to get there on time....The temp gauge apparantly doesn't work on the truck, so I didn't know there was a problem until the truck started running rough and the engine died....NOT GOOD! In a pair of sandals, I hiked two miles to the nearest exit ramp and a Circle K, where I rested and had a candy bar, as my blood sugar was bottoming out by this time....
The kind man behind the counter loaned me his cell phone and let me call my mechanic in Rock Hill.....an hour later, his wrecker driver showed up with the truck in tow, and picked me up and gave me a ride back home.....My Dr. charges $25 for missed appointments, no matter how good the excuse.....I have no idea what it will cost to get my truck back on the road, or how I will pay for it.....I maxed out the last of my many credit cards at the Vet's office with Sheba and her broken leg....
You can't make this shit up, people......THIS IS MY LIFE.....a never ending soap opera that keeps me stressed and broke.....and it SUCKS!
Isn't there a woman out there who would like to share all of this with me?......
