ANA Y3 D119

We had a good time last night and C really needed it after the day she had. The first part of the day was pretty shitty. She was turned away from her doctor for being poor. Seriously. Earlier this year the state cancelled her state insurance erroneously by including my household income towards her eligibility. We do not claim each other on taxes, therefore my income doesn't count. She has been trying to reach a human being to discuss this for months. Where we live, this is impossible. Their website is its own dumpster fire, they won't talk to people face to face at the main office, and they are open for phone calls basically only during regular people's working hours. In the meantime, she has needed to go to the doctor for refills of prescriptions. Last time she went, three months ago, we explained what was going on and paid for the visit out of pocket. This time they flat out said "this visit is an annual so you can't afford it". They wouldn't even give her an estimate. I would have paid it. Or at least I would have wanted to know the amount so I could try to pay it. But they refused and said we will reschedule you for next month "so you can figure it out". WTF is wrong with this country when it comes to health insurance and people's lives??

But regardless, this put her into a huge downward spiral of depression. She basically spent the day in bed crying. I did some research for her and can help, but I can't fix this no matter how much I want.

We left for the concert around 4, took us an hour and ten minutes to go 19 miles because of construction and accidents. Ridiculous. I was already tweaked when we got there. Luckily, the venue was very nice, parking was included and easy to deal with, and we got pretty close to the entrance. They had food trucks and we had some good Mexican food. Our seats were nice, the crowd was chill. 

Concerts are very different when it's not heavy metal rock and roll. It was a very chill concert. 2 hour set, drinking just water, crowd was mellow. All in all, it was a good time. I knew none of the songs, but I appreciated it nonetheless. C had a great time and that's all that matters. B and A came over to dogsit and they had the time of their life. I got so many videos and pictures it was hilarious. Doggo was safe, everyone had fun, we got home around 11:30. Not a bad way to spend a Monday.
