Dear Asswipe,

I'm pretty sure you drive a trash bucket so receiving a ding or 100 is no big deal to you, but unlike you I don't drive a trash heap on wheels. Next time tell your passenger who may or may not be some snot nosed little brat or a ghetto/hick loser to open your shitty car door with more caution. This is SoCal, we are an angry and violent bunch, so the next car you ding/scratch might just be your last. 

I hope you get one of those $500 speeding tickets you walking herpes sore.

Sincerely,

Someone who wants your car to get keyed.

WHEW

Since I'm a contractor I wait until the end of the year to report my income for reduced healthcare premiums. This is typically not an issue, except this year I earned more than twice the amount. When I reported my increased yearly income I was told I may have to repay a significant amount on my 2022 taxes. This of course triggered panic on my part, lol.

When I logged on today onto the Covered California website, it was determined for 2022 I still qualified for health coverage under the same reduced healthcare premium based on my 2021 tax return. So, it's a good possibility any repayment of premiums will be none or low.

For 2023, it's going to be a different story, I will have to pay a larger out-of-pocket percentage for healthcare since I earned more, which is fine. Now I'm just waiting for MediCal's letter of disqualification for 2023 so I can choose another healthcare package (more expensive, but again, it's fine).

...

My tire FINALLY came in today and Mini-beast got a free shower (car wash)!!!

I can drive again!!!

...

My elliptical broke a few weeks ago. Fortunately, for me I purchased a protection plan that would either repair or refund the purchase price of the elliptical if it were to break during the plan's two year term. Since it was within the two year period I got the full purchase price reimbursed.

With that money I decided to buy a new elliptical stepper/climber. That was a mistake. Within a day I developed severe knee pain. My guess is the incline was waaay too steep for someone who has the occasional knee issue. Any and all knee sleeves/braces/support failed to protect/relieve me of my knee pain whether I would use the machine.

After a week of use I called Amazon to see what options were available to me since the machine was already assembled and the packaging was thrown out. Surprisingly, Amazon has Heavy Bulk Services that will pick up the elliptical stepper machine as is. I was so relieved.

It's been a few days since I've stopped using the elliptical stepper. I'm still gimpy, but my sore knees are feeling better. Today, I was able to walk without the knee supports, so that's always a great sign!
...

My neuro and primary care doctor have left the medical group, that's fine, but it would've been nice if, I don't know, someone would have alerted the patients. It would explain why my many refill requests went unanswered. One of my medications expired and I won't be able to see a new doctor to get it refilled until...June 2023.

LOL

At first I was angry, but then I said FUCK IT. Why? Because I have medication back ups and since I'll have a new healthcare plan come next year, I'll have to chose different doctors/medical groups anyways.

I've already started the withdraw process for all my medications, even before all this happened. I guess this just accelerates my plan.

Why are you not available? Why do I have to wait a week for you to arrive?!

I hope my tire arrives on the 25th, because it sucks not driving :(

And no, I don't want to drive on that shitty spare.

Right now my bad tire is patched, so the air leak isn't as bad as before. I make sure to pump air in it every morning, that doesn't stop the TPMS from lighting up like a Christmas tree. My car drives like an unstable drunk. I'm assuming, letting it go completely flat compromised the integrity of the sidewall, making it unstable to drive on. 

UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

I swear, whomever left their stupid, shitty nail for me to run over deserves to eat a bowl of black widow spiders.

Back in February I traded-in my Jetta for the Taos.

I'm back driving a SUV, and I love driving from a higher vantage point.

My second interview for the Graphic Artist/Illustrator position went ok, lol. Whatever happens, happens.

Someone just hire me already, I'm sick of the job searches, resumes and interviews.

I'm exhausted.

I gotta find me a money tree or some really rich geezer who likes fat chicks, lol.
...

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the court clerk about my speeding ticket. Nothing serious, I just need to confirm they received my completed certificate from traffic school. Our county court system is so antiqued it's sad.

I also have to take my mom to her doctor's appointment tomorrow after my phone appointment with the court clerk. Can't do it next week since her asshole doctor is taking the whole week off. The guy is so swarmy, I just want to punch his fuckin face off.

Typical Riverside Medical Clinic.

Now I remember why the Riverside Medical Clinic is not on my preferred list of specialists. When I was a kid I had a pediatric neuro that was contracted with the center. He was completely worthless as a doctor and fellow human being. I was having an allergic reaction to my medication and I needed to switch to a new medication. My treatment was delayed by a good month because the asshole went on a three-week vacation BEFORE making sure I was ok.

Anyways, the specialists at the Riverside Medical Clinic are pure garbage.

Long Week

  • Got a speeding ticket
  • Mom got some concerning health news
  • Diet went off the rails
  • Favorite plant finally died
  • Didn't get the job
I can't be mad at anyone but myself for the speeding ticket, but the rest of the stuff, UGH. The high humidity killed my plant. Gotta get a better dehumidifier.

Next week we should get some clarification what the CT scans reveal. Probably just kidney stones, but the inflammation in her kidneys has me really concerned. I was really impressed with the speed they contacted my mom. She has very good healthcare. If it were my doctors I would be dead before they contacted me.

Windows 11

So after spending thousands of dollars last year on a Surface Studio 2, I can't upgrade to Microsoft's newest os?! In fact, I'm willing to bet most Windows users won't make the cut. Why? In order to upgrade to Windows 11 you must have a newer 8th generation processor that supports TPM 2.0 (If on an Intel processor). For example, let's say I have a shitty 8th+ gen Atom processor I can get Windows 11, but if I have a superior yet older 7th gen i7 Intel processor I'm outta luck. There is absolutely NO real reason to exclude these very capable processors except to spur new license and hardware sales.

Pissing off their loyal Surface/PC customers sounds like a GREAT plan. Do they really think owners like me are going to drop thousands more on a platform that has shown time after time that they don't know what the fuck they're doing?!

I'm old enough to remember Windows 10 was suppose to be the LAST version of the os and all updates will be treated as a service.

Yeah...

Oh and remember Windows Mobile, or was it Windows Phone, no, it was Windows 10 Mobile before it died.

Yup, that too.

Can't forget about UWP and how Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 would be one OS that shared apps seamlessly.

Uh huh, never happened because Microsoft didn't have the talent to pull that shit off.

Despite it's price and various bugs, I LOVE the Surface line. I LOVE my Surface Studio 2, but I'm tired of investing in an ecosystem that is run by idiots who can't stick with a coherent long term strategy. Their incompetence is costing me money. I'm going to keep my Surface Studio 2, but unless Microsoft shapes up (won't happen) this will be my last Windows based PC. I was leaning toward a new Surface Pro tablet to replace my old SP4, but now it's going to be an iPad Pro.

Congrats Microsoft, from here on out, my next computing purchases will probably be from Apple.


Delta Variant

WHO urges fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks as delta Covid variant spreads

Well no shit, especially considering break-through infections from the Delta Variant amongst the fully vaccinated are on the rise. When the CDC announced vaccinated people no longer needed to wear a mask, I cringed for many reasons. Did they think people would honor the "vaccinated" part?! The idiots (the willfully unvaccinated) amongst us celebrated that they can roam around unmasked now.

*Sigh*

This sounds so eerily familiar.

Any extra terrestrials out there what to adopt me? I promise I'm not high maintenance. I only require water, nectarines, a non Windows computer, and occasionally a delicious snack.


General Shittiness

UGH, I feel so shitty. It's so hot and humid. The heat makes me so lethargic.

I found out the VIP car wash program has been eliminated. Sucks. The program was for those who purchased/leased a new car from the dealership. Oh well. My lease will be up in a few months anyways.

Creative Market declined my request to open a shop because they couldn't verify my identity.  *Sigh* After speaking with a support rep I added the needed contact info and resubmitted my request. Who knows if it'll be approved.

My favorite plant is dying.

I dropped my brookie on the dirty gross floor. Very disappointed. It looked so delicious.

Had to drop off my car for service (safety recall). Instead of using a dealer shuttle they used Lyft to drop me off! I mean, it shouldn't be a big deal, but in my sleep deprived mind, it's the best thing ever.

Haha.

I'm fighting against taking a nap. So so hard...
nibblezz: (Default)
Some asshole backed into my car in traffic. Luckily for him I had no damage, but seriously...the guy must've been baked to not see me or hear my very loud honking. 

*Sigh*

If he wanted to make a right turn, just move to the fuckin right. There was no reason to back up.

Ok, I've vented and now I'm going to move on.

My car on its way to the car hospital.

Battery was completely dead. Bought a new battery with extended warranty for $250. Considering how smooth the car drives now, the battery must've been going bad for a while.

*Sigh*

It could've been worse I suppose.
nibblezz: (Default)
Yup.

I wanted to go to Walgreens tonight, but my car won't start. During my last visit they first told me I needed a battery recharge, then they told me I didn't. I guess they were right the first time.

*SIGH*

Service is closed tomorrow, so I guess I'll call Monday.

Not going to stress about it. Whatever happens, happens.

So Far

This year has not started well.

The moron-in-chief has escalated tensions with Iran. Despite the back and forth, I think things will die down, well until the next time. Not worried.

Just now feeling well enough to go outside. I got sick on NYE and missed two much needed work days. I pumped air into my tires and now I feel like I've ran a marathon. Pathetic. At least the chest pains and heart palpitations have almost gone away. Still pretty vulnerable to temperature extremes. Give me another week and I'll be back to my moody healthy self.

Key FOB apparently needs a new battery? Seriously? This stupid car is only a 1.5 years old. My old 2006 Jetta NEVER needed a new battery. Maybe the newer models have more features that the FOB supports? Whatever, I gotta get a new battery. Not expensive, but still.

Haven't heard from the job I want. So frustrating. I hate job hunting, but I hate my current job even more.

I took a day off of work today.

I did two of the hardest things today:

1) Temporarily stopped driving and bought a bus pass
2) Informed the property rental agency I'm backing out of our pre-rental agreement

I'm experiencing symptoms of carbamazepine toxicity and need to withdraw from the medication. The new medication is pretty expensive and I don't know when it will be approved from my insurance. So, in the interim while my medications are being sorted out, I decided I needed to stop driving. I hate taking the bus, but it is what it is.

As for the awesome apartment, I needed to give that up too. The apartment had new paint and carpets put in, and for someone like me who's extra sensitive, drug withdrawal plus paint and voc exposure will be a health disaster.

I had a good cry about both things, but in the end I have peace over my decisions :)


nibblezz: (Default)
 Haven't felt like posting.

So far this year has been a mixed bag.

Some good things happened like transferring to graphics, driving again and getting a new doctor.

Bad things like not living up to creative expectations, health issues, and fool's gold relationship style.

It's late, I'll continue this later.

My insurance approved my request to switch from generic Topamax (Topiramate) to brand Topamax. That was a pleasant surprise :) Didn't think they would, but they did! I never had an issue with generic drugs, but in this instance generic isn't cutting it. I can see why brand Topamax is so damn expensive.
...

Yesterday I received written authorization to see a neurologist. His ratings pretty much suck. Oh joy. But for right now, I'll see how the first appointment goes, if I hate him, then I'll switch.
...

So Volkswagen doesn't want to accept responsibility for their toxic box on wheels. I've exhausted all options with them and now it's time for legal action. Because at this point, it's obvious the only language they speak or care about is money. What a coincidence, I'm fluent in money too! Let's play!
...

My fall shows are back!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I'm excited for How to Get Away with Murder. I hope this season it doesn't disappoint. Not really excited to see Empire after last season's finale. It sorta jumped the shark for me. The same for Grey's Anatomy. Law & Order: SVU is a classic go-to for me.

I just realized I need some new shows to watch. LOL

Fustrated

End of work week. These are my brief thoughts how I felt during the week while on Topamax:

The Good
  • No more insomnia. Sure there are times I still have trouble falling asleep, but the medication will guarantee I knock-out no later than 1-1:30am.
  • Less serious twitching/tremors.
  • Almost no occurrences of the jaw clenching/tongue biting.
  • Almost no right-side weakness.
  • Emotional health has improved. There are times were I want to freak-out, become very angry/depressed, but didn't.
  • I'm forced to go to bed earlier, which isn't so bad. I wake up more refreshed.

The Bad
  • I have to drink LOTS of WATER! That also means I HAVE TO PEE A LOT. IT'S ANNOYING. 
  • I can't concentrate very well, which doesn't bode well for my job.
  • If I don't take my medication by 7:30pm, the next day I will be one giant lethargic slob.
  • Fatigue sucks.
  • Nausea sucks.
  • Blurry vision. To be fair, I had blurry vision before I was on Topamax.

And now this car issue needs to be resolved. The dealership is dragging its feet. Why would they prioritize my suffering? They have their money, they sold a car. Maybe I need a lawyer.
 
nibblezz: (Default)
UGH

Why is everything so difficult for me? All I wanted was to buy a brand new car that is reliable and would transport me and my passengers from point a to point b. 

That's it! 

I LOVE my car, except that it's making me sick! Literally, sick. I have always been sensitive to harsh chemicals, and I did expect having a minor temporary issue with the new car smell, but six months later I didn't expect to be having these issues:
  • Severe headaches
  • Moderate sinus inflammation
  • Moderate to severe sinus, face and ear pain
  • Breathing issues
  • Lightheaded
  • Vertigo
  • Twitching (yes muscle and limb)
  • Memory issues
  • General feeling like shit

After attempting to remedy the situation myself (ex. changing cabin filters, airing car out, placing bowls of baking soda under the seats) I couldn't take it anymore, I contacted the dealership. On Monday, they agreed to clean out the car's ventilation system with a special "deodorizing" foam. On paper that sounded good, except it made my symptoms WORSE!

Was going to watch Wonder Women this weekend, but didn't feel like sitting in the chemical wasteland on wheels. And plus I just don't feel well enough to go. 

Sad to say, but if this doesn't resolve itself in the next week, I'll be forced to get rid of the car. I have a liver issue and used to have a seizure disorder, so it's a lot more important for me to be healthy rather than drive a nice, brand new car that's making me sick.

Such a stupid past two weeks. I wish I could take a month off from everything. Doesn't help the embarrassment that occupies the White House is seeking to dismantle our environmental protections, healthcare and other essentials. Don't even get me started on #RussiaGate. When will this asshole get impeached and thrown out of office?

BLEH!!!

At least my car rocks :) I call it a "baby" SUV. The VW Tiguan is considered a compact/small SUV. The increased visibility and riding height just blows the Jetta away. And those annoying deep dips? I can drive right through them without significantly slowing down. I mean I don't recommend you do that, but if the need arises I can without freaking out that I'm scratching/damaging the bottom. I can never go back to a regular car.

So there's that, otherwise my life sucks at the moment.
