I used to love Fridays

Yesterday began with a call to work to tell them I would be late (again).

Wait for the government to start the business day, call the number on the new form asking my husband to provide MY insurance info. As usual, sent to voice mail. Leave a message asking her to return the call, and explaining that they are wasting time sending the mail to the nursing home, and can they please redirect it to our home address. Inform them that a court order is required to add hubby outside of open enrollment, plus a doctor's statement of health. Also tell her that pre-
existing conditions are not covered for 2 years.

Wait for return phone call.

In the meantime, place call to Head of nursing at the nursing home to ask about the new psychiatrist. Of course, she is not in, so I ask for the Social worker.

Apparently, they screen her calls now, so had to ID for the operator before she connected me.
I explained that the NS was not in, and I had not heard anything.She tells me that the Psychiatrist that I "requested" does not accept Medicaid patients. I tell her I did not request him, he was suggested by the NS. She asks do I have anyone else in mind.

I reply that he saw several when he was in the mental hospital, and give her the name of the one who actually bothered to speak to me BEFORE he evaluated my husband.

We will see if that works.

It is now time to return to work, but still no call from Medicaid, so I fill in the new form myself
with my work info, scan it into the computer and email the form to the address from the voicemail greeeting, along with an explanation of why I think it will not work.

Off to work.Stay later to make up some time.Can't make it all up, but having to take all this time off is seriously hurting my budget (or lack thereof).


I receive text from sis on her way to work telling me my brother in Georgia, will be moving in with her this weekend.

Don't know what happened, but then again, he hasn't really shared anything with me in a long time.

I need some friendly interaction, and I am concerned about one of my new found friends on the Alzheimer' s org chat room, so off I go.

After chatting for a while, my friend logs in and tells us her Dad passed away that morning.

Try to comfort her long distance, as we all do, and can't help thinking about our future. Another
loss to come after so many already passed. I should call my hubby's stepmother she has terminal throat cancer, and his brother to check on his Mom in her Alzheimer's unit.

While on line, phone rings. Fear strikes me! What has hubby done now?

It is Sis telling me they got sent home due to computer errors at work. Now will have to work her day off to catch up.

Finally feed cats and am ready for bed when it hits me, I was supposed to make food for a wedding potluck at work.

Oh, well another night with 4 hours of sleep........

Friday has gone pretty well so far, I goofed off a lot today.

Sister texts to ask if she can have the metal closet in my living room. Sure.

Arrive home. Tell kids to move speaker so the Closet can go to my sister. 1/2 hour of arguing over where to put it.

Tomorrow will be a busy day.

Think I will try not to think tonight............
