So ladies, you know how we need to have a good cry every now and then? It's just part of being a woman right? Even if there isn't something in particular to be upset about. Every once in a while, we need to sit down in front of a sad movie and have that release. Because we as women have a lot of feelings, and if we expressed them all the time, men would think we're crazier than they already think we are. So we have these good cries to cleanse our minds and bodies of excess pent up feelings at appropriate times and in appropriate places.
Well. I guess I haven't been having any good cries lately. I've been neglecting my good cries to focus on school, the new house, vacations and visitors. So, I was overdue. WAY overdue. And you know how when you're overdue it takes just the eensy teeniest thing to set you off into an uncontrollable sob-fest? A boohoo session of such great magnitude that you would really hope for it to take place in the privacy of your own home? But sometimes...it happens in PUBLIC!
Let's just say, that I was very bewildered to find out from the receptionist at the eye doctor today that my vision insurance only covers $200 worth of contact lenses in a 24 month period, which will buy about 12 pair of lenses which lasts for 12 months, as you're to throw the pair out at the end of each month. And let's just say that the idea of Boeing (BOEING! Who hasn't heard how great Boeing's benefits are!?) only paying for me to not strain my eyes 50% of the time was so confusing to me, that the confusion and resulting frustration was so great that it manifested itself in an unstoppable fountain of tears and snot. So significant, that not only did I conclude I would have to reschedule the eye exam, but I had to excuse myself before the receptionist could pull up the calendar. And let's just say, that I will be rescheduling that appointment, but at a different eye doctor.
Now, I'm going to take a hot bath and pretend that didn't just happen.

I feel ya sister!!! I guess chalk this one up to a boot kicking reason to not go back to that eye doc? Especially since you weren't keen on them anyway *HUGS!!*
ReplyDeleteAlmost the same thing happened to me! I got a new prescription for glasses (which I didn't realize worked for contacts) then I had to go for a new appointment and then the doctor tried to blackmail me into getting the contacts from him instead of costco by holding my prescription ransom! And on top of it... it turns out contacts in Canada are sooo expensive :o(
ReplyDeleteBut, in the end, I just bought 4 boxes of contacts, because I try to wear my glasses half the time and contacts the other half. Anyway, good luck with that hon!
Public meltdowns are definately no fun :( I hope the soak in your huge, beautiful tub relaxed you a bit! If you're still feeling tearful, you should watch "The Notebook". That one always gets me. And just wait until you're pregnant! Those hormones are no joke :)
ReplyDeleteI feel ya! Last week Ryan and I went to go see the Time Travelor's Wife, which by no surprise to me was horribly sad and obviously I got emotional. So emotional that I didn't even think about the fact that I had never cried in front of Ryan yet. It was too funny! He was so concerned about me after the movie and asking if I wanted to talk about it etc.. Come on!?! I got it all out during the movie, I didn't need to "talk about it" anymore :)
