A Day Both Good and Annoying
Mar. 23rd, 2013 09:30 pm I had a nice day at the Flea. Didn't make a huge amount of money, but I was in shade and the people were nice. I was upstairs but they had a couple of great helpers who carried everything up and down the stairs for me.
I did go to 24Diner afterwards to have their amazing pork chop dinner (perfectly grilled organic pork, mashed sweet potatoes, and bacon-y greens).
Got home and realized I don't really have to unload the wagon except for the tables, since I have another show on Thursday. I love beinglazy efficient.
Checked my mail, and this is where my day took a turn for the crappy. CareCentrix (a weird division of Cigna that handles all the things like my CPAP machine) finally sent me bills for my new unit. I'm assuming that my deductible was applied *somewhere*, but since they sent me (counts) FOUR SEPARATE BILLS IN ONE ENVELOPE, it's damned hard to tell. I foresee a long-ass phone call either tomorrow or Monday to get to the bottom of this. It's also hundreds of dollars more than I thought it would be. Joy.
The second Bad Thing was a weird letter. Handwritten, yet addressed to me "Or Current Occupant".
Inside was a handwritten letter from a Margaret, reminding me that Easter is coming and I should really come to a free Bible talk explaining how Jesus' death is wonderful and cool. There was also a bonus professionally-printed flyer from her church (Jehovah's Witnesses, not that it matters), complete with White Man Jesus picture.
This kind of casual Christian assumption just makes my blood boil. I am not a Christian. I do not practice any religion, and don't want anyone shoving their beliefs into my mailbox under cover of a letter from a "friend".

...don't worry, it's going out without a return address or name. I have zero desire to get in a "dialog" with these people. They just make me furious!
