la vida es bella: Bills bills and more bills!

Bills bills and more bills!

Ugh! enough already. It appears my visit to the specialist is costing me $826.84. That is just for one visit and all the blood work and a urinalysis. This is AFTER insurance.

Due to the monstrous bills piling up medically to include a $2000 bill to the local hospital, the specialist wanted me to have an ultrasound before my visit today, to which I promptly refused. I guess insurance is going to dictate my healthcare, both medically and obtaining any medications I might need. Haven't heard back from HR about my email regarding selection of insurance and the fact that we were not provided a formulary of what we would be paying for prescriptions so we could have selected better options. Of course better options, more cash, and they're not paying me enough now.

Unfuckinbelievable!

In other news, I did get a reply back about a job offer out of Iowa. We'll see what happens with that.

On My Radio

The air is cool, the colors fade, the long arm of night grows with a looming shade. Only small sparkles fill the sky, Where sounds of wings, blow on by. Yes this is a time to open ones mind, letting all in, yet sinking away..... Come all, let us play...

I love my music, all kinds, except hard heavy metal and bad rap, and I'm not a country fan at heart.

I am a sucker for good music quotes. I found this quote on REFLECTIONS blog, and I think it is great! "I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours.

But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places.

Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality."

~H.A. Overstreet

I found another great quote about music on a blog called "At The Starting Gate." It's fabulous!

Music is an expression that all can embrace, interpret, and feel. It is an expression that will never die and will constantly be created and twisted into enjoyable melodic prose.

Music is like an antidote, it helps reduce stress, it is what I can depend on when many things in life are not trustworthy.

Music is my sanity and my passion; a way to escape the physical world and express ideas and emotions. Music is a link to my dreams which helps me to relax, visualize and create.

Music is love, devotion, precise, discipline, and adoration and it brings me closer to God.
