Frustration and New Beginnings

I had to call my health insurance company this morning. They are refusing to cover my doctor visits until they receive the file from my previous doctor about my knee surgery. It does not matter what I go to the doctor for, or how unrelated the visits are, they won't cover anything. Right now, I am basically paying for insurance and any doctor visits out of my own pocket. I called to yell at them because I am frustrated by this situation. My husband thought if I yelled and asked to speak to the supervisor maybe they would waive our monthly premiums. I get too frustrated and am probably too nice to keep yelling at people for the amount of time needed to make that happen. So, what did I accomplish today? I raised my blood pressure; wound myself up and the insurance company did nothing. The next call I make to them will be to cancel our policy.

Today I start my new job. I am excited and nervous. I am going to be a 911 dispatcher at the police station; it is a career path I never dreamed I would take. Somehow, when I was in college for Interior Design, I never thought I would start a job like this. It is a good, stable job, which is something I desperately needed after my last disastrous job. I am ready for the challenge and the structure. I pray that I can do well at this job and make choices that will help people.

Well, I need to go rescue some hummingbirds. My cat is currently perched on the porch right above the feeder waiting for them to dine.
