over the hump

holliWell, that was a stressful couple of weeks.
Between looking for new housemates and running out of my anxiety meds, thus necessitating a hunt for a new doctor and a bunch of panicking, I was a ball of nerves for most of last week.
But I think I'm okay now-- I have a new housemate for the basement lined up for sure, and today I met with a girl who I actually turned out to know from the vintage shop-- she's a historical costumer and she and her boyfriend are several varieties of nerd between them. She really likes the place, and she's bringing her boyfriend by on Friday to get his seal of approval.
As for the meds situation, I found a new doctor who could get me samples to tide me over for the next few weeks, and I'm getting signed up for the drug company's prescription assistance plan, which considering my income probably means free meds. Before that, though, I had to deal with the moment when I tried to use the prescription savings card I'd been given, only to find out that it only works if you have prescription insurance coverage (which I don't, because I have a pre-existing condition). That was not a fun moment. There may have been tears.
I'm also really pissed off at my old doctor and his entire practice, which is a total shitshow and at this point isn't even picking up the phone, much less returning calls or getting me my meds in a timely fashion. I emailed my therapist last week, panicked about running out of my meds and upset about the fact that the office hadn't called to tell me he wasn't in for two appointments in a row (leading me to show up for nothing), and he never emailed me back. WTF kind of practice are they trying to run? Grr.
But at least the worst of it seems to be over. Now I just have to worry about the fact that my sales at the shop are for shit, mostly due to the time of year.
Also, I feel like half my flist has succumbed to Teen Wolf in the last week or so. I flat refuse to join them, on the grounds that I have extremely high standards for teenaged werewolves and I seriously doubt that anyone on Teen Wolf can measure up to Oz.
