Okay, I know that it has been forever and a day since I last blogged. Sorry, Tiffy, I know I was doing so good for a while! I'm soooo out of the loop!! Work at the hospital and the store have been occupying most of my time. Last week, I did a 5 day stretch of days at the hospital, and each day lasts about 13 or 14 hours. So, I pretty much lived there for almost a week.
So, last post was when I was so nervous if Medicare was going to come in. That week, they did not. I was pissed. At that point, no one's in the mood to talk, let alone blog. The next week, they came in - of course after Ben spoke to one of the guys in charge at the accrediding facility, and he told Ben he would speed along the application - for an extra 3,000.00 - check - made out for him to cash. Yup, we got bribed. This is a segment of our lovely government that works for us. So, we paid the money, 2 days later, the auditor came out, inspected our shop, and as far as we know, we passed. Now, we're just waiting for the confirmation of our accredidation number, which we have not yet received, which yes, makes me a little nervous. We called to check on the status of everything, and now... they tell us, "you no longer need the accredidation to get Medicare." I don't even have the stregth to scream right now. So, we are filling out our Medicare application - yet again - tonight, and will mail it in the morning. One good thing that came from all of that was that when the auditor came to inspect the shop last week, we found out that it is normal for them to spend about 6 hrs inspecting. She was there for 1 hour and 15 min. She said we had most of everything she asked for. We were very relieved and excited!
As far as other things are going, we are now looking for a house. How can we afford it, you ask? Very good question. We are taking all of our debt from the store and going to attempt to roll it into a home loan. Much cheaper interest that way, and with my new job, we should be A-OK. Let's hope, anyway. We are just trying to do everything we can to keep our feet on the ground. Hopefully, something good happens!! We need some good news for a change!
I promise to keep you all updated from now on, good or bad! It's just so easy to get lost in the days as they go by - especially when you're waiting for things to happen!
Love to all my family and friens!!

Un. Be. Lieveable. Josh was in complete shock when I told him, too. I can't come up with a word that is mean or nasty enough for that sleeze bucket that bribed you! As soon as you get your medicaid approval - I'd turn his name into your congressman - they have a person who looks into things like that. You are so amazing to be handeling this as well as you are - Just know that you are loved and we're sending good thoughts your way!
