Life

Life is okay, for the most part. Not perfect, definitely. Here is an update on the latest developments...

Spiritually, I have decided to become a Baha'i. This faith really resonates with me, and I like the people I have met who subscribe to its beliefs and principles. Meanwhile, I "fired" the rabbi I was studying with, because he was unreliable, but he gave me less of a refund than I deserved (crook!), so I reported him to the BBB and AZ Atty Genl's Office. It might not bring me more money (who am I, compared to a *rabbi*, when it comes to credibility in a he-said, she-said thing?), but at least I have the satisfaction of complaining.

Been stressed over finances. Paying my settlement program monthly payment was too much to pay and still pay my other expenses, including my car loan. So I dropped out of the settlement program (which didn't do much for me, anyway, except take my money), and I am trying to pay as much as I can on my bills, on my own. I can't pay them all, not even close, but maybe I can throw the creditors just enough to keep them from suing me... and if they sue, well, guess I just declare bankruptcy!

Stress over money may be the explanation for my hospitalization last week due to intense stomach and back cramps. They ruled out kidney stones, appendicitis, and liver malfunction but couldn't tell me what it was. But the morphine they gave me eased the pain, at least. However, now I dread getting the hospital bill... another expense I can't afford!

I have a pimple/sore in my nose that has been bothering me several weeks. If it doesn't go away soon, I will go back to the doctor. I was trying to avoid paying this expense. I did see the ENT doc once, and he gave me antibiotics and a nasal spray, but these don't seem to have helped at all. He wanted a CAT scan and a return visit, but I cancelled these for now, trying to save money...

Boss is still a witch. Oh, well...

And that's life!
