Small Insignificant Update

November 26, 2008

This week I have been trying to secure all paper work. Once I get my work schedule I'll be able to make an appointment with my dentist to get my final x-rays. I contacted my OB office in Saint Louis and they have to mail me a release form that I have to sign before I can get my past records. I spoke with my OB office here and I'm getting my results from my PAP this summer sent, but I still need to have her sign the my paperwork as well. I have a feeling I'm going to have to just roll up on her one day. I can try to make an appointment but they can be so flaky at that office, I think the sneak attack maybe the best way. I think other than that my medical/dental packet will be complete to send off! I hope I can complete all of these things by the end of the year!

2009 is going to be all about paying off debt so that I am free to sail to wherever I am sent. I also decided that I am going to start studying some Spanish and go to a language center to test myself, just in case I could be sent to a Spanish speaking area.

That's all for now, hopefully in my next few posts I'm announcing that I got my medical packet off on time!

Dental Almost Completed/Legal Clearance

November 17, 2008

So this weekend I got my impacted wisdom tooth pulled. I was soooo super nervous, but it was okay. I'm still on meds though for the next few days. Since I had so much to do that day I completely forgot about my paper work. So I am going to have to go back and get my final and official x-rays that are required by Peace Corps. So Dental is almost completed! Whew. (now I just have to pay for it all!).

I received an email today saying that I have Legal Clearance. WHOO HOO! I couldn't be more pleased, mainly because I had NO clue why there was a hold to begin with. I wonder if that means my student loans are going to be taken care of... I only have about $3,000 of student loans, but if I could use that money to pay for...I don't know, my dental costs...that would really help.

I must admit I have been being pretty slack on my medical journey. I must kick it into high gear so I can have everything sent off by December.

POAL (Plan of Action List)
Still gotta hunt down records from my OB in the Lou
Call my OB here and get my paper work from my pap this summer
Get final X-Rays from Dentist

I'll give myself till the end of November to have those tasks completed... Wish me Luck!

BARACK WINS- People Are Ready For A Change!

I don't want this blog to have any political views on it. However, the way we came together yesterday, people who are fed up with an old system, ready to break free, willing to look towards hope not war, people of different backgrounds coming together for a greater vision, THAT is what I'm supporting. To me this victory is about critical mass that is forming, people are beginning to see that we aren't separate, but we are all One. One loving, peaceful, creative energy life force and we are vibrating on a higher level. The Love Revolution has already begun and this is just another milestone as evidence. Onward and Upward we go, to a better, brighter future.

ONE LOVE!

November Check In

November 2, 2008

I'm coming off of an extremely packed weekend and have an extremely long list of "to-dos" to complete before I go to bed...but for some reason, I decide to instead organize the "October" portion of this blog instead. Now I'm tired with spicy eyes. It was interesting reading my month of progress (and bad grammer, spelling etc...) I can tell I was about to start slacking...but seeing my POALs I'm inspired once again.

Really the main thing I need to do is call OMS to see if I need past paperwork for my MMS shot and PAP records. I also need to get my paper work signed by my OB who still won't return my phone calls.

I've been so preoccupied with my lack of employment, dance performances and life's general curve balls, I had taken my eye off of the prize.

My soul sister announced her wedding day and its going to be next year Memorial Weekend so I'm sooo excited. That means that I will probably be leaving right on "schedule" i.e. around August, not sooner.

Good to know...

Hopefully by my next post Obama will be in office :) Exciting times!

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. there is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is Life, and in change there is POWER"- Alan Cohen

Surprise!

Just when I thought I made it out of the doctor's office without paying a dime....

I get the bill for the all the lab tests that were taken... let's just say its several hundred dollars....

So add that to my tab of cavity fillings that I'm already worried about paying off (charged it to the game in the mean time).

One of my goals is to most definitely to be out of debt....so far I have just racked up more in the past month than I have in years. Once I turn in my medical info I can focus all my efforts to paying everything off... I just have to keep reminding myself of that!
