A little despair

Lately life hasn't been going that well for me.

It seems I am caught up in the jungle of neverending red tape.

I applied to a half-dozen companies for patient assistance with my medication in November-ish. I've been getting letters back from some of the companies saying the person who completed the request (the nurse at the student health clinic) made mistakes on the forms. And they are stupid mistakes. Now it's going to take an indefinite amount of time before I can get access to medications I really need.

I'm still waiting on social security.

I'm having problems with financial aid for school because I got an incomplete that I just found out about two days ago. When I get it taken care of I can then fill out a piece of paper saying I got a grade change now please give me my money!

The graphics card on my beloved computer died and the guy from the Geek Squad said since they'd have to remove the motherboard to replace it, I should just buy a new computer. He said that! About my baby!

Walking in the rain, in so much pain from the day's activities, I got to thinking, how could it be any worse? I mean, I am separated from my husband, the person I wanted to spend my whole life with, I have a few more than dimes to my name, maybe I'll never get to be a doctor, and also, by the way, I'm not sure I really like Eugene anymore.

So it was one of those times when all of these troubles weighed on me and I just thought, so could it get worse?

And then I stepped in a huge puddle and soaked my shoes.

So yeah, it can always get worse. But maybe that means it can always get better?
