Are you ready for this?

Is there a maxim about never blogging angry?

Take a deep breath. Sigh.

Are you ready for this the receptionist asked me? Then she told me how much I owed. $1800! I had already paid a $200 deposit.

$2000.00! That's how much the first of my vet bills is. And I have to do a follow-up visit.

The vet told me $600, and I know there was no misunderstanding, so he lied to me straight-faced $600.00. I thought that would be a big pill to swallow but I could manage it.

I'm pretty angry with that fellow.

Ok. I've had my rant.

If he had told me the truth I might have had him put down even though I had already spent the money for blood-work and x-rays. I love my dog, I really do, but he is just a dog.

I brought his sweet little smiling face home today thinking about how much he was costing me. It took me several minutes to stop shaking. I'm still upset.

Take a deep breath. Sigh.

A wee small further rant on about my income earning potential, I've never had a job that paid more than $12/hour and most of the time I've earned less, and if I had a job at the moment, which I don't, it would take me a long time, maybe a year, to save that much money.

Well, it's true I have got myself here by putting off looking for work. How hard I've always found job hunting, how insecure I am, I don't know, all the reasons for it.

But that doesn't mean that this doesn't hurt.

I wonder if that fellow would care at all if he thought about all of that.
