So hi everyone again!
Been getting some PMs/emails from people going ZOMG WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUUUU and whatnot. Especially in regards to a thread I once posted about our here last year and whatnot.
Wellll....things got a little crazy here.
I got really, really freaking sick a few months back, ended up in the hospital.
So we got a nice $3k bill from the hospital for that. Thank you insurance for covering some of it, but we still had to pay around $750 for it. Which wasn't *so* bad at the time.
Oil company came over and filled up our tank, even though we told them NOT TO. They were all "lol, sorry....anyways here's a bill for $1,100."
Then literally the next month my glasses broke to the point I could no longer repair them. Lovely. Not only had to buy new frames, but they couldn't use my same lenses, so all around massive-butt expense! And then we found out that my insurance had forgotten that I did want eyecare coverage.... "lol, sorry....we'll put it on there *now*, but we're sure you can handle this bill BAI"
So yeaaaah....was rough there for a while. We have been plowing through all of that, just trying to keep our heads above water and pay off all the debt. Don't get me started about how our government tried to lend a helping hand with that.
Interesting thing did come up though. I got an email a few weeks ago, from Consumerist of all people, asking how we were doing. Turns out, a letter I'd written them last year had been published, and they forgot to tell us. I talked to them for a little bit, and didn't know they were, surprise, actually conducting a follow up interview. Which was promptly posted for all to see. /facepalm (I didn't know if it'd be okay to link it here.... <.<)
Good news though, things are starting to look up finally.
I ended up gathering my courage and approaching a local company with an already-made mockup, and a huge-arse letter detailing how I can not only save them money, but make them money! They loved the proposal, and bought a website redesign from me! YAY! Amusing part....they're the company my husband works for. So they've been teasing him about it. Its a bit of pressure on me, because I gotta make a good impression, for both my husband and I.
I totally just had to get that off my chest. Feels good to rant a bit about it, and talk a bit about it.
Oh yah, totally quit World of Warcraft. Amazingly, felt like a burden was lifted off when I did that.
