Money and tonsil woes
Jul. 6th, 2005 06:53 pmMy left tonsil is bigger today, and it really hurt when I woke up this morning at 4am. I took some Advil and it still hurt at 8, so I debated calling into work. I know that it usually goes down and hurts less when I'm up and active so I decided to go into work and see how it went, and leave early if I was still feeling crappy. I cancelled my 5:30 home visit straight away and then managed to plow through the rest of my day - 5 hour-long visits back to back in the pouring rain.
If my tonsil is swollen more tomorrow, or if the roof of my mouth starts swelling, I'm totally calling out and going to the ENT tomorrow (if he can take me). Eff this. Of course, I have to babysit tomorrow night from 5:30 until about 10:30, because my lesbian neighbors are going to see Martina Navratilova. (Hee hee.) So I hope I don't feel like crap.
Jen had her second crown and post today to the tune of $380. I have to go to the dentist on the 19th for my ridiculously expensive ($300) "cosmetic" fillings. Jen ordered new lenses for her sunglasses last weekend which cost over $200. I am very afraid of what an extra $1000 that is not budgeted is going to do both to this month, and also to our Florida trip which might now entail sitting at Jen's parents' place eating ramen noodles. I know I sure won't be getting new glasses or lenses any time soon, even though my glasses are so scratched up that it's hard to see sometimes.
I got $720 for my bonus (after taxes) and it's ALL going to dental work. That makes me want to just bust out crying. I worked my ass off for that bonus and I didn't get a single fun thing out of it.
I am so tired of being overspent.
