It was optimistic, at least

Well, okay, so I didn't make it too the unemployment office. I had trouble getting my debit card to work at the first gas station I went to so I had to drive to another one. (I hate to walk inside to pay--Pay at the pump for me, LOL!) After that I stopped for an errand and that took too long because I spied what I needed on the shelf, and then the same thing in the clearance section! So that took more time as I looked everything over as I saved my money. But, unfortunetly, I lost time. So I go to the job fair, barely find a parking spot literally squeezing in to a corner. I start to gather my things and realize that...............I forgot my resumes! By the time I got home I figured what the heck I'd just change and give up because by the time I'd get back there it wouldn't be long before I'd have to leave to head to my appointment. The place was so packed, I would have been lucky to apply for even just one job in the time I would have had. I'll send out a bunch of resumes to a lot of the same companies and probably still get interviews. Would have been easier if I had all four hours to go and be there, but there seems to be a lot of job fairs around right now so I'll have to make the next one coming up.

My appointment....Ah, that was to be expected. I was a little nervous knowing that he and my kid's T talked. My kid's T might be spending a few extra minutes with me from now on. Yeah, just great. My time could be ending soon with my own T being the reason. The insurance is expensive. I was debating about using my tax refund for it, or just using it for bills. I hate to go without, and with pre-existing conditions on future insurance, it might be better for me to have insurance a little longer. Anyway, I did a good thing and had something to eat before heading off to the appointment. I knew he'd ask me. I told him what time and what I ate. (Chicken fried rice, in case you're wondering.) I hate to start being grilled again (hmmm, pun?) by my kid's T again about eating and stuff. I was getting so used to him not asking me things. Now he knows everything of recent, and how I fooled him a few years ago when my weight was so low. Not sure if this is good or what almost. I know it is a good thing, but almost kind of annoying in a way, too.

I'm rambling again. Better get moving on these posts. I'm on a faster computer than at home so I have to take advantage of it.

Sensing that after a day like today you can probably use a hug. Ok, you can catch the next job fair. Will you be able to hang in there in the mean time? Good for you for taking the time to eat before your appointment. And even though you have mixed feelings, I think it's a good thing for your kid's T to know more about you and be watching out for you. It really sounds like he cares about you, and it can't hurt to have someone care. Thanks for the update - I was glad to hear how your day went.

Thanks. My kid's T does care about getting treatment and stuff. He is really nice for a therapist. He's too good, really. I feel that he's owed much more than he gets. He is very underpaid.

I hate to take therapy time away from my child. I know that might not go over well. The T and I get knocks on the door now when my kids think that we are taking too long, and it's usually about 10 minutes. There is still that one certain subject that I really don't want to talk about, too. Problem is this guy is stubborn (hmm, hasn't he said that about me before?) and doesn't like to take 'no answer' for an answer. He's also, in my opinion, the "boss" of me. He's got some power over me. I can't explain well, but I have posted slightly about this before.

Inky,

If you're talking about a pre-existing condition for mental health treatment, a new insurance can't disqualify you for that. I talked to my wife on this, she does medical billing and customer relations. She seemed pretty confident with her answer. You might want to check this on your end?

Just a 5:26am thought...

Sounds like you had a hectic day, sending you hugs...
