The "Happy New Year" brings "Happy New Stress"

I always question when people say "Happy X Holiday", especially "Happy New Year." I do so with good reason. My year's always start out like crap and end up ok only to start the crappy cycle all over again. This month my wife has to get a c-pap machine. For those of you who don't know, it is a machine to help her breathe properly when she sleeps. Turns out she tops breathing several times a night. On top of that she also has to have a root canal, then a filling a capping of the tooth. Needless to say I am going to be spending a few thousand dollars I don't have in the next week or so. Grant it insurance will cover most it, but only after I have paid for most of it up front. On top of that I signed up for a flexible spending account to cover these situations and my card hasn't come yet. Novel idea to have the money set aside and taken out of my paycheck. Worthless if I can't use it. Hopefully it will come in the next few days, then I won't have to stress out and can use it for the expenditures. Oh well, shouldn't complain. Should be use to this kind of stuff by now. Oh well, here's to another "Crappy New Year".
