Saying Hello

Just a quick hello, as I am still up.  I was working on a paper for class.  I am workings towards a post-BA certificate and should be done with it in August.  But in the meantime, next week is finals and I'm going nuts with papers and studying.

My job is getting busy too, it's a little overwhelming.  I have had at least two days the past week where I've been stuck in back to back appointments or court and don't eat anything from 7am to like 8pm.  It stinks, but I suppose it is what it is.

I went to the GI and he was more focused on the money than anything else.  I picked him because he used to treat my grandmother, and now he says he doesn't take medicaid because they don't pay enough for his services.  He said he doesn't take cigna hmo, which I didn't know I had.  I thought I had the pos plan.  But I suppose I wouldn't be surprised that the State snuck one on me.  I was the last to know my prescription plan changed.  So any way... I might not have to work with him, I'll find out when they call me.  He was a complete douchebag.  If anyone lives in Hudson County and wants his name, PM me.  I don't like to post up negative things about a professionalwith his name attached to it in a public forum.

It is definately sad when they put what form of insurance you have above the care you require. Especially, when they made the appt with you inthe first place! I am hoping you will find someone that is more caring and conscientious to provide meducal care to you.

Please try to foucs on getting in some meals, even if they are quick easy to take with you foods.
It is far too hard to stay on trackj and to lose weight when we don't feed ur bodies right. Maybe take a small cooler with you and have some low fat string cheese, yogurt, sliced low fat lunch meats like turkey breasts and chicken breast. Even a ready to drink pre-mixed carnation instant breakfast.

I worry because first, malnutrition. second, your body is not going to want to release the fat if there is no fuel coming in for it to use.

Please too be sure to get in your supplemental vitamins and such. Gotta keep yourself healthy! Especially being so very busy.
Best of luck in your finals and with the business at work.
Hugs to you!
