Still pissed, cause I don’t fucking want an implant, and I even told this dentist when I started seeing him that my last dentist was too fucking implant happy (they run 8K around here before insurance) and he nodded and agreed. But if he thinks not having an implant will fuck up my bridge, well, shit, I’m stuck I guess.
Now, the good news is that I do have a savings account where I set aside money specifically for medical expenses and taxes, so I can pull some money from that. (Hadn’t even thought of that earlier, I was just so pissed off.) It won’t cover the whole 4K, but at least not *all* of it will be debt.
It’s just…one step forward, five steps back, I swear. This year, I finally got a raise that beat inflation. Only to have survival costs immediately go through the roof thanks to the pedophiles running the country. (The war literally started not even two weeks after our raises kicked in.) All while management desperately wants to replace us all with AI bullshit.
Oh and in my unmedicated fight against my ADHD, I am trying saffron water – literally just 3 crushed strands in a cup of warm water, steep for 10 minutes, drink.* It’s supposed to be good for your brain receptors. I figure it’s better than some weird supplement that could accidentally kill me, but I also couldn’t tell you if it’s helping because I keep forgetting to do it. (I did today at least.)
It would just be great if everything wasn’t a huge fucking struggle.
I know I am not at all unique here. We are ALL Going Through It with this administration, our employers, and late stage capitalism in general. I’m just fucking tired.
* This is only if you are UN-medicated. If you’re already on meds, don’t do this – your meds are already doing things to your receptors and this will be overboard.
