I know it’s not much of a topic, but I’m not good at choosing topics and then writing about them. I’m more of a “vomit out my worries” “blog as therapy” - type gal.
Hence this post.
I guess I’ve held everything in check lately... “Her”, DH, the legal stuff looming, the big job I just did. And now that the job is over, it’s all caught up with me.
The lawyer that I consulted a few months ago just sent me a whopping bill. He charged me for MORE time than I spent with him, and also charged me nearly $100 for “drafting, preparation and settling 1 letter on your behalf” .... THE BLOODY COSTS AGREEMENT!
I’m SO angry. Too angry to write a reply, yet.
And then my Health Care Fund admitted to overcharging me $3000+ over the last 2.5 years, but won’t agree to refund it to me.
Grrrrrrrrr.
I visited my shrink today, and discussed the major side effect of the drugs that I’m on. Weight gain. It’s really becoming quite obvious to me (and therefore everyone else, I’m sure) just how much weight I have gained since being on these drugs. They are, I must say, doing their job well. But this side-effect is becoming a whole ‘nother problem in itself.
She suggested Gastric Banding. Holy hell.
*gulp*
The bright part of my day was visiting “her”. The improvement is glaringly obvious to me. She still has a LONG way to go, however.
So now all that’s left is to say, to all my American friends, PLEASE VOTE!

Sometimes helps a crap day ...
For what it's worth, it's definitely not obvious to me. I think you look fantastic.
As for the other stuff - shit! Bloody lawyers. Bloody Health Care Fund.
Glad to hear "she" is doing better.
hi - visiting again. lawyers are just a licence to print money.
its disgusting what they charge.
I hope your week gets a little better.
Hello fe fe ... any chance you could sleep with the laywer, take compromising pics or better yet video footage and threaten to You Tube it .... thiking laterally ... there must be a better way !! am sending hugs le xoxoxo
That's a HORRIBLE day.
How can they admit to overcharging you and then refuse to give you your money back????
That's ridiculous.
You know you will always be GORGEOUS, no matter how lardy you get.
But I do get how horrid it feels to be fatter than you want to be, and I suspect that my medication (steroids for asthma) are contributing to my weight.
Wanna join me at club lard? The gym?
How about aqua aerobics? That is actually fun :)
Miss you,
xoxoxoxo
Hugs Fe, sorry you are having a crap time of it.
Watch out for those lawyer types they are like vampires.
A whole other tale but when my father died a lawyer charged me some ridiculaous fee for doing basically nothing at all.
I thought I had problems. Don't know what to say that will be of any comfort.
oh Fe...lawyer jokes are true . They are scoundrels.
So are health funds !
No assvice ... there is enough on my site.
Thanks Sarah.. My life will calm down one of these decades. Truly (!). Thanks for the smiley-links too. ;-)
Thanks Guera. It's more about the difference between me THEN and me NOW. And the inevitability of even more expansion.
Thanks Dee. They are. They are.
Oh Le... great idea, but it would involve me revealing TOO MUCH of me in order to expose them. Did that make sense?
Thanks Dina. They've found an excuse that "justifies" them not notifying me of the change in charges. But seriously, do you think they would give it back to me anyway? The levels in that type of business insure that nobody ever says "yes". They just keep finding someone else to say "no" until I'm worn down.
Thanks Lara. i would join you if you weren't so far away. I will be going to the gym, and continue all my walking, but it's going to be even more of an uphill battle. Apparently it's such a "given" with the meds that I'm on, that insurance companies recognise it even. Miss you too.
Thanks Tiff. Thanks Trish. They all suck-a-roo. But I'm not going to let them KEEP me down (sometimes I let them GET me down).
BIG HUGS everybody. xxxxx
