Day 23

Today I decide to be wealthy.

I called the unemployment center to find out what I needed to do to continue my unemployment benefits, and found out that I just need to have with me my information of October, November and December employment, and do it on the internet.

I did inventory today at a store that sells decorating supplies--knick knacks, furniture, garden art, candles, silk flowers, stuff that looks antique, but was copied off of old early 1900's furniture, very chunky.  According to the book, step #4, this money would be put directly into savings.  Sorry, it's going to the current crop of bills.

Wealthy people pay their bills.  I finally quit putting off talking to the doctor's office about a bill that I got in December 2011, for a visit I'd had in August 2010.  I'd gone in, got my heart listened to and my blood-pressure taken, and told to get my blood checked and a mammogram and come back.  I went to get the blood test, and the insurance refused to pay for it, as it put it to the $1000 deductible, and I knew that it wouldn't pay for the mammogram as it didn't when I have one a few years earlier.  It turned out that everything was fine, except my blood sugar was high. I didn't have a job to even have the hope of being able to pay for anything extra, as I was already being drained by the health insurance, so I didn't go back, and I didn't get a bill until December 2011.  Dr. K. has been very good to our family, and so I called, found out the amount, and arranged to pay for it in $5 increments.  I think that the new billing system, which used to be in his office but is now contracted out, sent the bill, and that he probably didn't even know that they'd done it.

Today I decide to be wealthy.
