Day 6 - Bad things come in three

Didn't blog yesterday. I was feeling pretty tired. My TRAPS flared up (not a major flare, thankfully) but my right eye felt and looked like I'd been punched. I stayed home from work today because it was still swollen. I showered and that helped me feel better, so I got dressed to run to the grocery store.

When I got to my car in the parking garage, I noticed a big puddle under it. It was a puddle of DOOM.

At the end of last week, my car started to make weird noises and I could feel the wheel struggling to turn. Took it to the local Ford service shop and I was low on power steering fluid. They filled it up free and charge, but mentioned that it might be low because of a leak... So yeah. There's a leak. I have to take it in tomorrow and prey they find the problem quick and that it doesn't cost much to repair.

The same day the car first had problems... my radio console also stopped working. I was able to press the rest button and get it to turn back on. Today it went out again. And won't turn back on. Buying a new radio is at the bottom of my "things I need money for" list. Looks, I'm going to be driving without music for a while.

What's the third bad thing? I'm not sure because it hasn't happened yet.

I'm still waiting to find out if my health coverage will approve my Enbrel and that it won't be a several hundred dollar copay. I have one shot left for next Monday. Then a week after that I'll start to get sick again if I don't have another shot. So that could be the bad thing.

Today, I got a call that Barnes and Noble is trying to deny paying for my emergency room visit from when I injured myself on the job back in January. I told the woman on the phone that I reported it and filled out all the paperwork and that under no circumstance am I going to pass this over to my personal health plan to pay for. So I may hear back from her that I will have to fight this to not pay out of pocket. So that could be the bad thing.

With my car needing to be at the shop, I may have to stay home another day. It may cost hundreds of dollars to fix the car. The car may need days to get fix. Ect. ect .ect

So yeah, I have a lot on my mind today, but I when I stepped on the scale today and it said 156... I was really glad I didn't order a pizza over the weekend while I was feeling poorly. Today was stressful, so when I went to the grocery store, I let myself buy some extra fruit that I hadn't planned on (not a bag of popcorn). I got home and munched on grapes instead of candy. And I'm feeling pretty good about my choices.
