Paint Scrapings and Insurance Dealings.
May 19th, 2008 by trancejen
I just spent three hours talking to Medicaid/care and finally, FINALLY got all of the computer glitches unglitched and found someone who knew their shit, was nice, and was willing to enroll me in a Medicare drug program.
Hallelujah.
I still won’t have any drug coverage until June first, so please feel free to continue to send me any unused Cymbalta, Lexapro, Topamax, Lyrica, and/or crack you have lying around the house.
I sincerely appreciate it.
Medicare is full of questions. What drugs are you on? How much? How often? Did you poop today? When was the last time you pooped? Are you taking fiber supplements for that??
Lord. I’m not kidding about the three hours. Questions, questions. What is my mother’s maiden name? Could I describe my last vivid dream?
I don’t generally mind talking on the phone, but today my house is being scraped. Yes, dermabrasion, now trendy enough to have reached the real estate market.
We are painting soon, and therefore we have hired Guys. I don’t like hiring Guys. I would rather do shit myself, but scraping windows on a ladder falls under the heading of Stuff That People Who Fall Down A Lot Can’t Do Real Well, so Guys it is. They sound as if they are jamming the scrapers directly into my brain, so lustily do they scrape. I am almost afraid to look outside for fear I will see windows loaded with gouges.
I suppose an enthusiastic scraper is a good thing, though. Even though the cats are going batshit crazy as the white paint rains down past their befuddled little craniums and even though the scrapers’ blaring of Rod Stewart is really not doing the ‘hood any favors, This Old House is getting a makeover.
This Old Jen could use one, too.
Happy Monday.

Can’t seem to get your “Entries RSS” to work anymore. Your “Comments” seem to be fine though… Been reading you for years n years.

lexapro sounds familiar and i take tons of meds (well like one fifth of you probably) does it have another name?

My doctor gave me 2 months worth of lexapro samples a couple of weeks ago. I took one and hated it. They are yours for the asking … : )
