And we'll all float on okay
Dear fellow unemployed people and people who have been unemployed: Do you have suggestions on what to do today? I have already planned to clean the house, water the garden, play with the cats, work on the novel, take a long walk, go to the grocery store for bread and lunch meats and salad, and read some books.
I am grateful that even when my health insurance runs out at the end of August, my medications will still be affordable at the CVS pharmacy. I just need to make sure I can get new insurance within that two-month window. I may decide to try Golden Rule, which offers individual insurance; and Adam and I can find out how much it might cost for me to be put on his insurance. According to HIPAA, he would be able to get me on his insurance within a special thirty-day window after I lose my insurance due to my being laid off. There are also many prescription drug assistance programs. Really, as long as I can get my prescriptions, I will be fine. I don't even know if epilepsy can be considered a pre-existing condition. I believe it depends on the insurance company; some companies do say it is pre-existing, and some don't. I will find out. I also, of course, have the option of signing with a temp agency's insurance, but I would need to complete a number of hours, so the temp agency would need to find me work.
I should stop before my head spins. It is not even August -- I have a strong intuition that something big will happen in August, whether it is a temporary contract job or something permanent. I shouldn't even think about that, I shouldn't even worry. Adam will be home next week. I will still be getting payments from my severance package. I will be fine.
All right, already, we'll all float on okay
Don't worry, we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on
