APPLICATIONS; Coalinga-CA

Today's start was very disappointing 😔

We were up at the crack of dawn, this morning & drove all the way into Hanford - only to find that the clinic had been moved … 

Very foggy A.M.; leaving RV Park & can barely make out the truck stop, ahead; Coalinga-CA

Crossing freeway overpass - from Coalinga,  towards Hanford-CA; the fog shrouded the landscape until we reached the city.

They had moved - this had not been mentioned, in yesterday's phone convo.

… and, when we arrived at the new location … was told he'd need a secondary insurance (which he doesn't have & can't get on disability) & would need X-rays (which was not what was told us yesterday; and which was not available on site): Holland said, "This was not told to me yesterday when I called 📱 and secured this appointment 📌. A secondary insurance wasn't an issue yesterday & I was told a cash payment 💰 was acceptable. I told the receptionist yesterday that we are out-of-stater's-passing 👣 through CA; & was told getting a shot 💉 this morning, wouldn't be a problem. I don't have time to wait months for all the add-ons I don't need, to finally get the shot I was told I could get here; this morning." 

We had gone into the city with the funds we'd been told would be needed - today's quote was quite a bit higher (the $50 shot had increased by $40 & the office visit went up from $175 to $225) 😳; with extra baggage tacked on for the doctor's kick-back. And the "person the bleeds" behind the counter had a bitchy attitude.

So.

Holland crunched up the Information Sheet & shoved it in his pocket 😒, retrieved his Driver License, and we left. It was irking me that we had gotten up at the crack of dawn to make a scheduled appointment - only to be fed a gaslighting BS story that halted application when we arrived. Holland handled 😑 the medical snub better than I did: the total turn around with the shot's availability - and the office rottweiler's attitude had provoked my pit bull attitude 😤

But as distance increased between the clinic and us, my temper tempest had cooled 😇 & we stopped by the Pro-Pregnancy Life Center to drop off the little items 🎁 I had made.

Back home, Holland went upstairs to lay down 🛌 & rest 🩹 his aching knee. I am still a little peeved that there doesn't seem to be any medical way available, for him to get relief from this unrelenting pain. He said, "I guess I'm just going to have to trust God for a healing 💥🔥🕊️" And I said, "I believe you are right - trust Him: you've run out of other options. He does not want you to be in searing pain, Holland. Trust Him 💥🕎👑 - if you belong to Him ☝️ ✝️, He will never give you more than He knows you can handle ❤️; He knows our frame and He will never overburden it."

So, that's where that is - going forward 🙏

I drank a refreshing cup of coffee ☕️, asked Elohim ☝️ to forgive my earlier temper flare - and enjoyed a relaxing body toning 💪 in the spare room:

Holland received a text for the Office here, informing him that our package had arrived; so, I walked over to the Office, to collect out UPS package - and ended up jawing for at least 25 minutes with the Rally President of the Winnebago Club, who paid for an overnight space here, on her way to Corning-CA tomorrow.

It's fun to meet interesting strangers.

Helen Jette says she'll be retiring this year - she's 80 years old:

The UPS box drop made me very happy … the foam will be shot down the drains at bedtime & we hope the applications do as it promises, and rids our little home of the pesky flies. We are aware that it will take a couple applications.

The Day may have started with disappointment - but it ended on up notes 😊
