Sam's from Chunk to Hunk Journal :)

So...

Went to my neurologist appt. this morning. Didn't really like him, and found out my insurance is exceptionally shitty :)... For his $285 office visit, my insurance only paid $80... He also ordered a bunch of tests and lab work that he wants done and I cannot afford, so I canceled them. I know I'm fine, he is just an idiot. I can't afford to go get an MRI and all that shit just for the fun of it, ya know. I feel better physically than I've probably ever felt, this year... I just plan on still taking my meds until the new year, when I start school and will be able to hopefully find a really good medical insurance plan and get on it, which is hopefully discounted some due to my full time student status in Jan...

Health care costs, etc. are out of control in this country... I pay an insurance premium every week, and it doesn't really do very much for me... So frustrating. Trying not to get too down about it... I can't control it. I just live here and pay taxes, lol...

Sounds like the stress of paying for health care is wearing on your damn health! :rolleyes: that sucks, Sam. Yes, try the holistic natural approach. You got any hippy friends out there to influence ya? ;) Don't MAKE ME COME TO UTAH :flame: hahaha, would be nice to hit on some hot Utahnian boys out there, though :D
 
There are definitely some hotties out here :)

I can't let the stress get me down... It's not like I'm the only one feeling it. Day by day, we all live our lives. I have to constantly remind myself not to stress about things I have no control over.

Hey, Sam. The days are getting cooler. Any chance of getting your running done outside? Nothing beats the stress like getting some real running done. :smash:
 
I do plan on getting outside for some runs. Perhaps this weekend, seeing how I'm stuck at work until after dark this week. Yoga would help too. I just need to DO it I guess, lol...

I'm doing better than I was this morning. I just had to talk to some people and get some of their perspectives... I feel like I'm such a high stress person and I don't really need to be. I guess I can blame it on being a Capricorn all I want but, I think it's just the way my brain works... I'm such a "what if' worrier, constantly worrying about shit that hasn't even or might not even happen. What if this happens or what if that happens.... Well, worrying about it doesn't help me one bit. If something is going to happen, it will happen, and I will just have to deal with it then. Worrying about stuff like I do can be crippling, I'm not kidding. I try to keep in mind that this is life, and do I want to spend my life worrying about stuff or make the most out of what I have and what I'm dealt and try to enjoy myself? Nothing is perfect. Sure I have debt, and starting school here soon I'm about to get more... Nothing about my life is perfect or completely organized and it might never be.... Breathe in.... Breathe out.... repeat ;)

-Sam
 
I am a worrier to about everything and like you said things that may or may not occur and it really can just engulf your life! My co-worker suggested some breathing exercies and yoga to help and they seemed to so go for it!
 
I'll keep it simple: STOP TALKING AND START DOING.

Relax and clear your mind. Every time it starts to wander, come back to your breath.

Everything will unfold accordingly. You have to trust and have faith, and then all miracles arise and gifts are given to you.

Hahaha, this is a fire sign perspective ;)
 
Oh yeah, and don't fear the unknown. Embrace it as natural and trust your innate wisdom. Being a Cappy, you're born with it. Trust it and stop the "what ifs" and you can manifest anything. You already know that ;)
 
Thanks for the advice you guys. It definitely helps, I want you all to know that. To not fear the unknown, that is one I will definitely have to tackle... It'll happen though, I'm optimistic.

-Sam
 
Here's one for you, Sam.

In life, we do not tend to regret the things that we've done as much as we regret the things that we wish we had done.

Grab the things that you know you will regret not doing. Chances are that you will not regret the choice.
 
Hey all :)

Finally posting some recent pics. These pics are from 3 weeks ago at the farewell party at some dive bar for my friend Danny, who isn't actually pictured in this group. He joined the National Guard and is in North Carolina for the next 7 months for training... He has a wife and child here in UT. We all miss him bad already and give him our best.

The first pic is of me with my new glasses, before I'd had anything to drink :hurray:



The second pic is of me with my friend Eloisa. She is Danny's wife. She's a sweetie :)



The third pic is of my friends Celestia and Jeremy. I am very close to them and they are awesome.



The fourth pic is of my friends Tim and Kim with Eloisa in the background. Tim and Kim are married and have 3 kids:eek2: under the age of 7:eek2::eek2: Tim is only 25 and we have been friends since the 3rd grade. He's my amazing hairstylist friend.



The fifth pic is the grand finale, lol :sifone: It is my friend Matt and me with my crazy drunk tongue I promised to show Valerie ;) It looks like we are trying to re-enact the scene from Alien with the alien and Sigourney Weaver, lol!!!

You're looking good Sam. My gosh that's a long tongue you've got! lol You could give Gene Simmons a run for his money there. :)

......OH SAMMY!!! You are one CRAZY CAT!!! :beating: I LOVE IT!!! You're JUST MY TYPE of PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! :grouphug:.......I love the diversity in your friends!
 
I'm glad you all saw the pics:) I love my peeps and I wouldn't trade them for the world. They are all such unique individuals and I have the most amazing memories with each and everyone of them.

Today is such a better day than yesterday. I'm calm, smiling and even a little cheerful. I got plenty of rest last night and feel a lot better about things. I'm at work and even happy to be here. I just emailed a health insurance broker about my dilemma and am waiting for him to reply. I think he will and hopefully he will be able to help me. I'm trying to get better health insurance than the current stuff I have now. I'm extremely optimistic :)

Tonite will definitely be a gym night. I need to go do some chest/back/shoulders and a good run. I took last night off and took care of my feet. Gave them kind of a medical pedicure I guess you could say... I just have a few blisters from running, etc. that needed to be to cared for. They feel better today and I think I might be able to run if I tape them with medical tape. If they feel like they get worse at all tonight, I will be taking a break from running until they get better... It's just that the elliptical looks so unappealing to me lately (sorry elliptical fans)... I'm a runner and I like trying to get my mileage in each week...

Hope everyone is having a great day :)
