The good & the bad.

The Bad: I've been sick for 4 weeks! I know it seems like forever & it feels that way too. Trouble is I don't seem to be getting better. I tried to go to the doctor 2 days ago, but couldn't get in on account my doc has been deployed (he's in the military) & the clinic doesn't have anyone taking his appointments. Awesome! Perfect timing with flu season & all. The clinic suggested that I visit the Insticare. I went over there & found out that they needed $80 just to see me & there appointments start at $120. Fabulous, since I don't have insurance & I'm currently trying to pay off $700 in medical bills already. I decided to just go home and suffer it out. Hopefully I'll start feeling better soon.
The Good: On the bright side I got a new job at Qwest. I start December 7th. I'm so excited as I've been unhappy with my job at Call Assist for quite some time now. Qwest has a set hourly pay so I can count on a certain amount for my paychecks! This will relieve so much stress for me. Just knowing that my check is going to be "somewhere between" $300 & $800 isn't cohesive to successful financial planning. It's way to much stress not being able to pay my bill even WITH a full time job! The best part is that Qwest even has reasonably priced health insurance ($36 per month) that I will qualify for after just 30 days! I hope I succeed at this new job. It's hard to leave what you know, but I feel really positive & excited about this new opportunity.
