Mother Fuck!
I absolutely had to take a sick day today because I was up with the chills all night. When I would finally wrap myself in enough blankets and such to fight the freezing cold running through my body, I'd break out into a sweat.
I actually started to choke on my own stink.
Around noon, I finally had the strength to get dressed and seek medical attention. Turns out Tuesday is street sweeping, so there was a $45 ticket waiting for me on my windshield.
That got my blood boiling.
When I made it down to the free clinic, the lovely lady at the front desk politely told me that -- because I have insurance -- I don't qualify to receive care there. I'm not being sarcastic; she was actually really super sweet about everything.
Since she was about the only person I haven't wanted to kill in the past 48 hours just for looking at me (I'm homicidal when ill), I asked for help. I told her I'd called my doctor's office to make an appointment yesterday, but they can't get me in until next week.
I'll be dead by then.
She explained that all I needed to do was call my health care provider and get to an urgent care facility.
So I did. Urgent care is right around the corner on Wilshire. They're open after-hours, starting at 5:30.
Mother fuck!
It was really awesome of my doctor's office to let me know that when I called, so I could have gone yesterday after work, instead of waiting another day.
If I die, I want the entire world to know how much I hate...everything. Except the lady at the free clinic. She was hot.
