Status: Better than expected
I've done what I can do re: the medical insurance situation. I'm not happy about what's going on, but I'm tackling what I have within reach and I'm content with it. I was a little ulcery this morning, but I had lunch normally (without meds) and was fine. I went on an outing with my dad to 1)take the required paperwork to the office of Mrs Stupid, 2) get Dad a new phone 'cos his is all buzzy, and 3) get some bread at Giant. I had a soft pretzel and soda at the mall and it's all good. I still haven't eaten dinner, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I'm amazed I'm doing so well on this. I'm trying not to wait for the other shoe to drop. I'm happy. I'm annoyed at the medical situation, but I'm okay. I was depressed last night and this morning, but once I called Mrs Stupid and gave her a piece of my mind, the stress started to slide away. Incredible. Maybe I can chalk some of it up to my bipolarism. Maybe I'm actually learning to handle things.
Among the things on deck for the remainder of this week:
I almost forgot: on the way home I was almost out of gas. There are no decently-priced gas stations on my route through Gilbertsville so we stopped at a little Shell station and bought $10 worth of gas. The nice attendant (an older, portly gentleman) washed my windows for me while the car was fueling, and offered me a free oil check. I've never been offered an oil check at a filling station before. He was so very nice. I wish they weren't so expensive; I'd fill up there on my way home from Phyllis' every week. So if any of you locals are cruising through Gilbertsville on Rte 73, I recommend the Shell station there by Wendy's flowers. It's a bit pricey, gas-wise (IMHO), but the service I got was top-notch. Thank you, nice Shell station attendant-man.
It feels good to feel good.
Among the things on deck for the remainder of this week:
- Contact Phyllis tomorrow morning and see what she has to say on the "I want to have my meetings with you but I'm suddenly not insured anymore" situation;
- Decide what I'm going to do re: taking over the qepHom Coordinator position from ghunchu'wI' (his email response to me is a week old now);
- See "A Scanner Darkly" at the County before it goes out this Thursday (Only one week? Boo!)
- Possibly Call Cyborg One Comics and see if they can order me the four issues of GI Joe:Frontline I missed when it was coming out (that will depend on money of course);
- Go to Target and get a cellphone. I hope I can get one that will be suitably cheap, allow me to pay as I go, and be compatible with the new language technology that guy showed us at qep'a'. I have to look over the info on the tech itself too. qep was three weeks ago, after all.
