No purchases today (other than continuing education credits) and whatnot. Gonna go have to celebrate the kid AND reset my banner because I smoked. Heavily.
This is what I was worried about (I will reset it my first smoke free day) stress. I have a long hx with the AZ board of Behavioral Health examiners including them assigning me an "investigator" due to my diagnosis because I checked the "bad" box, which in MD was totally FINE. The investigator illegally called my treatment program and THEN stated she had requested all my medical records from all time. THANK God my case manager informed me, I called her and pointed out that checking that box was IN NO WAY a HIPPA release and she backed down a bit. I wound up sending a letter of "She is competent" but they also made me redo my 2 years of supervision even though I was already independently licensed, and etc. I mean... actually this is NOT the worst horror story with them and I know what to do this time but it just brought up a ton of bad memories and whatnot.. I had to do a lot of math for one of "their" CEUs and it hurt my head.
Nothing is shiny enough to console me today but I need to go put on a happy face for the kiddo and all that.
To be fair, dealing with the AZ board of ANYTHING isn't fun. If I was obtaining a cosmetology license, they probably would have demanded a lawyers letter from my college friend whose ear I cut... badly.
To be fair, dealing with the Board is like the Worst Thing Ever for me and all and I have to do it between scheduling other things because a great interview is not the same as being hired. It sucks. I'm removing my banner and then getting ready.
Sigh.
