Jesus Fuck!
I just got my bill from the Urgent Care where I had my wrist x-rayed last Sunday.
It was almost $700 freakin' dollars!
That is utterly insane!
They charged me, like, $250 for the fucking visit! And that's after a $50 copay!
That's fucking ridiculous!
I guess I should point out that this isn't an actual Urgent Care, it's an Urgent Care-like place affiliated with a major hospital in my area.
If I'd known they were gonna be charging me fucking hospital prices, I wouldn't have gotten my wrist x-rayed. I would have just toughed it out and seen what happened!
Gouging motherfuckers.

All of my bills have hit me at once this month, and my Internet went up $5. So, basically, the cash I'm putting in the bank today is already spent, so maybe I should just not put any money in the bank? Maybe I should just horde it all in a glass jar beneath my bed and start cackeling madly like an insane version of Ebeneazor Scrooge.

Wanting

I got my property taxes in the mail today and I'm sort of wallowing in financial despair. Not because I don't have the money, but because it's money I won't see the return of any time soon.
Unless, of course, I get that government job I applied for. That would be sweet but I'm not holding out a lot of hope.
I'm tired of being poor.
I want to win the lottery. I want a million bucks so I can ditch this shitty little condo and move out west, to the California coast, and sit on a rock and watch the ships out on the horizon.
I want to get out of this shitty little state, away from its small minded people and be around people who are just . . . better.
I want a lot of things.
I wonder how many of them I'll actually get anytime soon?

Today, I am fucking stressed.
Earlier this year my condo association went and paved the front entrance. Yesterday, we got the assessment: $600, due by March 6th.
Fuck.
I've got the money, but it'll have to come from my savings. And the fact that I've got to tap into savings to pay for it just pisses me the fuck off.
It wouldn't be so bad if I had a renter in, but so far, no luck on that front. Lots of scammers from Craigslist or idiots who can't read a fucking ad, but no one genuinely interested in renting the room.
January may have been a bad month to put the ad up, since everybody and their brother had ads up as well.
Again: fuck.
My blood pressure has skyrocketed as I sit here thinking about this. I can hear it in my ears, thanks to the headphones I'm wearing. Thump-thump-thump.
And then, in addition to all of that, I'm going to have to pay the fine for not having Obummercare. I'm seriously hoping it gets defunded by Congress, or that they eliminate the individual mandate. *fingers crossed*
This last part of the month is just all about money and bills and stuff and I'm just ready to beat somebody down with a fucking shovel.
That's my world.
How're things going in yours?"
