April Fool's and not April Fool's

PSA: Keep in mind today is April Fool's Day, the day when it's perfectly okay to try to trick other people and make them feel bad about falling for some stupid joke. Yes, for the first time in years I fell for a joke. Posted to a comm alerting people to this new thing. Forgot what day it was. Ended up looking like an idiot. BUT IT'S ALL IN GOOD FUN SO IT'S OKAY, RIGHT?

Sorry, world, I have damned bigger things on my mind than keeping track of a a stupid "holiday". Like a new $10,000 bill for my hospital stay months back. It's almost funny, I was grumpy that I got a $1,000 bill when I was first released. Then I got a $500 one, then two more $500 ones, then another $1,000 one, then a $3,000 one, now this $10,000 one.

I have to see how much I can argue them down on it. Turns out the home nurse and the IV antibiotics were out of network, so I have to pay the $10,000 deductible out of pocket.

Each visit from the home nurse, most of which were 10 minutes, longest was 20, cost me $850 per day! And $200 per day for the antibiotics. This went on for more than two weeks!

I'm starting to think the adults in Loki's Wolves were right -- the system is corrupt. Let all life end and we can start over. Maybe the new life won't invent an April Fool's Day.

Dear powers that be,

Okay, listen world. Do you really think I needed no heat today? When it's going to go down to 40 and there's been no heat in my apartment since this morning? Seriously?

Apartment complex sent a guy, he couldn't fix it, so I have to wait until tomorrow for a professional service person to come out.

What's going to go wrong next? I'd list options, but I'm afraid to give you ideas.

This is seriously the worst year ever. I'd really like to catch a break soon, please.
