So I'm having a bit of deja vu. But not the innocent, I feel like this happened before- kind. More like the shit, it's like I'm having the same sort of nightmare exactly a year later. Last year, or I believe early April, I made a slightly fatal mistake. Fatal for my computer. A day after finally moving into the bigger room of my apartment, I accidentally tripped over my computer cord, sent my precious powerbook, that in some ways I'm still paying off, flying, and cracked the LCD screen. I think time stopped for a moment- or at least my heart. After taking in what happened, I had a mini fit of rage and tears, probably terrifying my new roommate. In the end, only the hard drive was salvaged. I did, however, learn a lot about selling computers on craigslist, transferring files, using separate screens and my $3,000 piece of machinery as an extra hard drive, among other things. This fortunately came right before I received my income tax return. Devoting my entire return and money made from the sale of my "hard drive" to a new computer was fairly depressing.. even though I took comfort in knowing I at least had that extra money. I obviously had other plans for that money initially.
So here's where the nightmarish deja vu comes in. Just got back from the dentist and am holding in my tears and anger as I digest my pending $1,500 bill for a crown and other dental work. The comfort in knowing that half of this will be paid for by my government check and income tax return is negated by the fact that all of this could have been prevented by another dentist I had last year. Yeah, thanks for being so thorough.
I write this as a enjoy a bag full of Pomme Frites, from one side of my mouth of course. Emotional eating at its best.
