negotiations

let's not go into last night....except to remember:

don't run out of gas  and
always clean your battery terminals.

to-day, i was supposed to be at the oncologist.  i got a call saying she was sick, and that i need to call to reschedule.  then, i got another message saying come on in.  my phone was on vibrate, and i slept through the alarm.  oops.  no worries.  i'm rescheduled for the 22, which is after the radiologist visit.  good.

then the pet scan pre-billing person called:

have you got 3,09950?
no. i got $50.  
well, acceptable down payment is $700.
well, my job can pay it all next month, when i give them the proper documentation.  i've done it before.  
ok.  so 50?
yeah, 50.  
see you to-morrow.

'member when i used to cry at finances like this?  i'm still shaky, still broke, still.... scared, with money and physical problems.  but... i'm better at negotiating.  i guess that's a good thing.

so, eat a low fat meal to-night.  zone out at pet to-morrow morning.  probably go to work from there. (after chinese food, if i can scrape up a bit of extra money)

then wait for the 15th.

hope
