Life (has me down)
I know I don't have time to stay depressed, but at the moment, I'm a little angsty. It's my own fault though.
I'm not allowed to drink soda anymore. Or, if I do need a caffeine kick, it's Diet or nothing. *sighs*
I figure when I finish off what I have in the fridge now, it really is time to turn over a new leaf. It's not like the sugar was doing anything good for any part of me.
As many of you know, I have no insurance. I basically pay a minimal in order to have a plastic card that will get me admitted to a hospital if I'm near death, and that's *it*.
I had a dentist appointment today, which was important. My whole family has teeth prone to fault, and mine are no exception. Which is why it shouldn't have been surprising that I have a pair of sugar(pop)-caused cavities on my front teeth that need to be dealt with immediately.
They will work on a payment plan with me, as I could barely pay for a chunk of today's appointment. Fuck.
And the kicker is that one of my wisdom teeth, the one they said would most likely never move, is moving just a bit and causing pain every now and again (for the last two months maybe, not a long time). If it keeps up, they want to pull all four, despite the fact I have *one* in that's been in for *two* years and is *perfect*.
I don't want to think about the cost of that. Already my Mom has volunteered to pay for everything and let me pay her back, but I owe her too much to begin with. Besides, I'm an adult and should be dealing with my own debts.
I didn't realize how amazing insurance was.
I should check the balance in my checking and see if I can just *go* for it. Not the wisdom teeth, but the cavities. I want to bang my head on a wall.
