Well I was having a super week until yesterday, but let's start with the good and move on from there.
Thursday: I phone my pharmacy for a birth control refill, get a message it's expired. Flip through phone book [
hated my doctor last year], pick someone, phone them, make appointment for Friday.
Friday: Go into ridiculously early appointment and at the mention of birth control, tell doctor I want to receive sterilization surgery. He pauses for a second and then says, "I can do that. You're old enough to make the decision, you've done the research and you seem perfectly reasonable to me. I can get you in as early as next week." Thanksgiving actually messed up that calculation, but I am still looking at the first week of December once my results come in to receive my surgery. I phone my rheumatologist to let them know I need to cancel my infusions so I can receive the surgery and they tell me I can begin infusions one month after I am considered fully healed from my surgery. So ... bummer on pushing them back, but YAY for surgery! That sounds weird ...
Saturday: Phone mom to let her know about the upcoming procedure. She doesn't even know what a 'tubal' is when I mention it - LOL - so when I clarify she says she thinks it's stupid, but then leaves it at that. Now there's a big fight over my older sister. She has been weighing options as she just lost her place to live, so hubbs offered her the chance to live here a month ago, which she initially didn't take. She text me asking questions that made it seem like she is thinking about coming here, but with Michiko now taking up what would have been her bathroom we'd be in a jam to fit her into our already-crowded apartment. On top of that, she's got close to 20 animals of her own, most of which she'd be forced to re-home. Mom decided to call me unfair and then made a comment about how we are "no better than [my sister]" because we don't have the money to fill up our Escape and drive across the country to go get her right this second. I've been steaming over it ever since she said it, but the bottom line is my sister just wants to mooch her whole life and I've pretty much decided I'm not letting her move in because it's going to cause problems here that we certainly don't need. I've been treated like garbage by these people my whole life and it's over. My foot has been put down. I found my way - everyone else can buzz off.
So anywho ... the good and the bad, everything will work itself out and all shall be well. As a whole, I'm satisfied. I am about to get sterilization surgery which is very important to me. I am also preparing for serious treatments for health issues that I've been dealing with for 6 years. Looks like I'm losing what little is left of our broken family, but I'm not as sad about it as I thought I might be. After being everyone's 'black sheep' all my life, I've just lost interest in all the muck. I have no interest to care about people who don't care about me, family or not.
The little ones and my husband are all the family I'll ever really need. :hearts
*Hits self-preservation switch*
Michiko is determined to try a Dorito, though. Ha ha! And apparently she has a taste for Stephen King.
