So much to do, so little time!

It's been semi-eventful since I blogged last. The first week of August, I went to church camp. It's always an amazingly uplifting experience. And while I do dislike some things about church camp, i.e. their nasty bathrooms, not-so-great food, mice, and bees; it is still a great time of fellowship with friends I don't get to see as often. God blessed, as He usually does.

The following week I didn't really do much actually. I was still recovering! While I was very pleased to see that they had paved a good amount of the dirt road at camp, there are still hills. My hip doesn't like hills. It's hard enough to walk longer distances, but add in a hill here and there and it was very tiring! Sweetie carried me up the hill to my cabin the last night. I just couldn't take it anymore!

This past Saturday Sweetie and I got to go to a birthday party for Wifey's oldest daughter. There was a giant water slide, which I couldn't go on, but it seemed very fun! Sweetie took a dive at it a few times. It was funny. A great time was had by everyone. She walked away with some good loot. Then Sunday Sweetie and I went to a birthday party for his cousin's wife. So needless to say, Monday I spent most of my time recuperating!

Today, wasn't so great. I got a letter in the mail saying that since I was out of my PTO at work, they aren't going to be paying any more of my insurance premiums. Lovely. So for September I will be paying everything. Lets think about this for a minute. You aren't compensating me wages any more because I have no more Paid Time Off. I get that. I really do. But at the same time, Disability doesn't pay very much. Now you're telling me that I have to spend almost a full 2 week's check from EDD on insurance premiums. People do have bills. Now you add this too?! Lets have a heart people!

To top that off, my FSA told me that they don't have a new account for me even though my company has been taking the money out of my paycheck every pay period. That I was terminated. And that I wasn't able to access any of the money I put aside from Jan-April because of Sutter's restructuring. So combined with the insurance premiums that I'm supposed to pay for the month of September, I could be out $1,400.00. Yes. $1,400.00 As if a $20,000.00 surgery isn't enough. It was all a little much for me today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I've put some calls into the people at work. So we'll see when they call me back what we can work out. I know that God will take care of me in the end. Just need a little faith! He's taken care of me this far, and He'll show me through this trial as well.
