Frustrated

 I think has been almost a week since I have written anything..? It's hard to know where to start...

 We had a good time in Sekiu despite a few hang ups. The rain was off and on but well worth it for the huge agates we found. We made a funny memory..Vern and I running down Vista beach after we realized it was NOT going to stop monsooning anytime soon. We had on plenty of warm clothes and rain coats but it was pouring! My pants got so wet and heavy that I had to hold them up while "running"  to the truck while also barefoot and with pockets full of rocks! By the time we got to the truck we were soaked through 2 layers! Looks like my raincoat isn't so waterproof after all?! Thank you Chevrolet and Vern for providing me with a truck with seat warmers!

 Trevor was still fighting Bronchitis so he was not quite his perky self during our trip. As for me I got the stomach flu on Friday and have been throwing up everything I have eaten since. Today was day 7 . Vern has also come down with a tummy bug but his symptoms are different. We have barely worked this week and when we were at work,we probably shouldn't have been. Sooo for the first time in a LONG time,I am going to the Doctor tomorrow. In fact, I don't think I have ever been to urgent care for myself..? After many phone calls and unhelpful referrals I finally started to learn how to play the medical insurance game. They make it really inconvenient for sick people to find a Doctor,holy cow..I had no idea it was so complicated and corrupt! In the process of all my efforts I also made a follow up appointment with my new Doctor so I can begin to establish some type of medical records. (New Dr. won't see me for 1st time visit to address tummy issue,was told to go to urgent care,covered by insurance,then I can go to new Dr for follow up. Don't you just love insurance?!) I just hope they can figure it out. I don't know how many more days I can live on soup broth and water....

 Since we have been home I have also spent time on the phone with my 401k company. That was eye opener! I have never had anyone tell me that they are taking (a percentage of) my money and I can't have it back until I retire or quit my job!? STUPID! "Someday" when I have enough in my account they will "allow" me to take a loan on it and pay myself back...WHHHHAT?! I am so stupid for not learning more about it before I started investing...on the bright side my nest egg is safe. I will be so thankful when I am older but mannn,that was a reality slap in the face!

 While in the process of all of this 401k and medical insurance mess I also realized my driver's license is expired! SINCE JANUARY! "No worries" I thought "I will pay my late fee and renew on line." Half way through THAT process I was told I could not renew online because my license was more that 60 days expired. I have to go to the DMV. Seriously?! Why do all these companies take my money yet be so difficult when it comes to helping me in return?! Can't something just go right for a minute? Oh wait it just did..Clearblue Easy just confirmed that I'm not pregnant. Thank you God! I highly doubted I was but it's nice to have the peace of mind.

 I hope my next blog is full of happier news. This week has been a rough one. Things will get better,they have to :)
