Today's high: Still Cold as Shit

You know it's cold out when the poop bag in your pocket is welcome warmth...

Grrrrrr...it's a good thing I'm not on anti-psychotics.

You can't do my refill until tomorrow? Because of some "30 in 24 days" insurance rule? No exceptions, even if I'm traveling the entire next week, including the day I will run out of medication that very clearly states on the actual bottle not to miss a day? 

Ok, fine, I'll just pay for it then. Yes, I can get it if I just pay for it....how bad can that be? It is a generic. $140. You've got to be kidding me, for a generic?!? Ok, can you just give me a week's worth then? No? Because that's not what the prescription is for and then the insurance wouldn't cover the remainder when I get back....and so on and so in circles.

And I'm a lucky one, I have "health insurance"...or as I like to call it "Expensive, Systematic Roadblock to Actual Care Organization".

I wonder what my medication would cost if it were truly on an open market with fair competition, and not dictated by what amounts to a racketeering monopoly? Probably twenty bucks. 

Nothing really ever changes from the 7th grade.

do I email him? do I call him? do I email him? do I call him? has he googled me? do I call him? will he call me? what does he see if he googles me? ok, googled him. do I call him? do I text him? when is he going to call me? call me! call me! call me!

dear lord, this is why I shouldn't even bother.

Warming Up to Winter

The sky this morning is crystal blue, the brittle branches are quite beautiful against it, the snow in the yards lays thick like buttercream frosting, and the dog hops through it like it was put there just for her pleasure. Oh, and potatoes never tasted so good. 

I might just be ok with winter, this year anyway.

Crockpot Chronicles

I DO need one of those locking-lid, traveling crock pots! Behold, the Turkey Rice and Cranberry soup prepared for a harrowing journey in the back seat to work.
