Hey guys! I'm super stressed out! YIPPIE! So, last Friday was our 2 year anniversary. We were planning on going to our favourite tea house to eat, and then maybe go out for drinks or something. Yeah, she took forever to get ready, and we were too late to go to the tea house, 'cause they close at eight. Plus she was complaining about what she was wearing the whole time. Plus, and this is really the icing on the Anniversary cake, this was when my driver side window decided to fucking rip itself off the track. So it was a miserable drive home. So that sucked, we ended up going to Boston Pizza and had some good food, but still.
Then on Saturday my wife started having pains in her right ear. We kinda shrugged it off, but on Sunday it started spreading down her jaw, and into her neck, and she was in severe pain by Sunday night. So on Monday I had to leave work and take her up to the hospital around 11:00am, and she got out around 3:00. With a diagnosis we already knew; ear infection. So I left work, again at 3:00 to drive her home, and then went to the pharmacy to pick up her prescription. BOOM! DENIED! Somehow, she was listed on my health plan as having other benefits. So, since I have about 27 dollars on me until pay day, I couldn't afford to get her meds. When I got back to work I talked to our HR person and got my health plan straightened out, but it wouldn't take effect until today. Now, if that wasn't bad enough, the pain my wife is experiencing is so excruciating, that she can't sleep and pretty much moans and howls all night (no, not good moans and howls). So I have gotten maybe four hours sleep in the last two nights.
So here we are today, and I have to leave work yet again to go pick up her prescription and bring it home to her.
Now, I'm not upset with my wife or anything. Shit happens, whatever. But I really hate when shit gets like this because I feel like I'm not taking care of my family properly, and that makes me feel like a giant douche.
Essentially I want to curl into the fetal position in a quiet corner somewhere and cry myself to sleep.
so lets all do the happy dance!
