So, good news.
I called the hospital this morning with questions re the bill. The person I spoke with was very pleasant and very helpful. She noticed that the hospital had not applied by uninsured/self-pay discount to the second surgery that I had, which would take about $16K off the bill. That has to be approved by a supervisor, but that should be okay.
So, that would bring the bill down to about $32,000-something.
That's still large, but I could, in theory, pay it off.
So, good news, I suppose.

And, just like that, I'm back in debt. It's not much, not even $1000, but the fact that I now owe some faceless corporation money in installments just pisses me off to no end.
Honestly, money has been on my mind quite a bit the last month or so. Ever since the renter left, I've been taking steps to get the place ship-shape for the market. I've decided I'm going to rent out again, probably in either December or January, for at least 5 months, and then probably put the place up for sale.
I don't know.
I just know that I'm tired of my life right now.

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?"
