I am full of sodium

[cornerofmadness]

we went out to eat and I got fried dill pickles and went HAM on them. They were SO good and then dad gave me the pickle off his sandwich and my buffalo wings came with blue cheese so yeah, so much sodium. Why is it that bad for you food tastes best?

I spent the rest of my day tearing out my hair. I got the syllabi in but was sidetracked by a text from Holzer about a follow up ultrasound tomorrow. Nope. Didn't schedule this. Not in my portal. I call them. Your ob/gyn did this (because holzer told her she ordered it originally) I told them to cancel it. If you do you'll need a new order. Fine since I'm not coming here for this period.

Got a notice from the loans about my income based loan repayment which I started and then needed my W2s etc. I go to finish that and it's stuck in a loop. Nothing gets it out. Finally I give up and call them. She suggests going into incognitio mode since that might be the issue. Nope. It just keeps taking me to the what I need to do this page. She tries to help and I whine about why in the world did they change it from the easy push the IRS allowed button. She says 'oh we still do that.' We check I'm set up for that. She says your stuff will automatically submit when it's time. WTF WHY am I doing this then? Why have I been doing this for years? I hope the hell she's right (she did email me the paperwork that says this is true because I insisted and got her name)

I guess I need to check in on my loans. I'll add it to my things to do next week. I haven't been paying while they've been fighting it out. And I'll be honest I'm a little worried about what is going to happen when (because I'm determined it's when) I start my doctorate. (Like am I going to be able to borrow money to pay for it.)

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck

I can tell you they've made it MUCH harder to get money and know the republicans want to privatize loans so screw that

[shanachie_quill]

Thank you.

Yeah, I knew that. I guess I'll see what happens when I get accepted.

[cornerofmadness]

good l uck. I mean there are always scholarships and grants too

[shanachie_quill]

Honestly, that's what I'm hoping for. I should probably start looking... although I'm not sure where I should look.

[cornerofmadness]

back in the day there were huge books on it. Maybe there are websites with tons of it if you're lucky

[shanachie_quill]

LOL I remember those. I'll have to google and see what I come up with.

[cornerofmadness]

good luck

[shanachie_quill]

Thanks. I'm still looking into it, but I don't have a clear answer on yes or no yet.

And I did check my loan, but nothing is due.

[cornerofmadness]

oh geez, good luck

[shanachie_quill]

Thank you. I'm planning to call in the new year. I want to make sure that everything is correct before I (hopefully) start school again.

I also really need to start looking into scholarships.

[cornerofmadness]

good luck with it all

Why is it that bad for you food tastes best?

Why?!!! Glad you had good food, in any case.

I hope the loan info went through correctly.

[cornerofmadness]

It's so saddening. Healthy food = okay, fried salt bombs = OMG so good gonna die

I guess I'll know if it went through or not when my loan repayment shoots up to more than I make a month

[blancfortune]

Well, at least the loan repayments should be taken care of now, right? (Maybe checking in shortly before they're due next to make sure everything goes as it should?)

And too much of anything is good once in a while, like that all sounded delicious

[cornerofmadness]

One should hope. we'll see. Last year one did not work I know that. I will be watching them closely for sure.

Those pickles were SO worth it
