So here's my rant on going to the Doctor, and bills. First of all, I don't really understand the whole insurance thing, where I can go, who I can see, how much I pay, how much they pay, it's all quite head spinning confusing. That and I get impatient trying to learn this stuff. So anyways being sick for what seemed like a month, I decided to go to the doctor, literally the front desk lady took my $25 check for my co-pay and told me to wait for the doctor. So I go in, they swab my throat (checking for strep,side note- I'm a pro at this throat swab thing, I had it so much as a kid), then I wait...and wait, and wait. And the the acutaly doctor comes in tells me the dreaded "it's a virus, wait it out", and prescribes me this weird numbing gel crap I'm supposed to sort of gargle in and spit out, but don't swallow cuz it could numb my insides....sounds safe, huh! Well, I thought all I would have to pay for little appointment was my co-pay....NOT TRUE! I got a bill in the mail today for an additional $50 I need to pay for all this random lab crap. Seriously $75 to see a doctor for a total of 2 min and for him to say 5 little words! This is why I should have been Doctor, I would have been a much more rich woman! Well, I've decided this is rediculous so unless one of my limbs is about to fall off of my body, I'm not going to the Doctor...seriously $75 I wasn't expecting to pay this month....on top of that I got some random bill from the City of St. Paul saying I need to pay $50 for some upkeep of sewers and stuff...I thought that was in the $3,000 I pay in taxes each year!!! They milk ya dry I tell ya! haha, well that was my small rant on bills and money. Gross, I hate them. When do I get to work and use my money for fun??? Ever? hehe. Self pity again, it's ok, sometimes ya need it to get through the day!
On a bit of a strange note, I had 2 odd things happen with brides lately, today met my bride for Saturday's wedding to get her final payment, which she gave to me in CASH....yes $4,000 in cash. Who has that laying around the house?? I felt like a drug dealer, meeting in the parking lot and her handing over a unmarked envelope with $4,000 of cash in it. Now just gotta make sure I don't get mugged on the way to work tomorrow! I also had a bride that I met with and went over details for her wedding in September write me an e-mail that started with, and I quote "Thank you for being a sweet baby last night" What!?! I'm thinking she meant sweet heart???? If anyone can explain what this really meant...please do enlighten me. Then she invited me to her rehersal dinner....strange.
