Daily Ooo's: Friday, November 2

[faerywings]

I am really not in a good head space today. Nothing is resolved with my health insurance and it looks like it is not going to be for a while. After a really long and annoying morning/afternoon with the LLMD, I spend another hour or so on the phone with my insurance company only to get on hold for so long that the CS rep trying to connect me to the right people in the company suggests that I leave a call-back number. Which I did. And they never did. So I called again. And got stuck in that *endless* loop of Press 2 to speak to someone about ... and Press 5 to speak to someone about... I am yelling "Representative" over and over and I am getting *nowhere.*

I spent some of that "waiting for them to call me back time" looking at their website to see what kinds of plans would be offered as a tie-over. The cheapest plan is over $400 a month, has a $3000 deductible and wouldn't even start coverage until Nov 15. So why bother? :rant:
Today, I am going to try to call the Medicaid office today and see if that have any idea of what I can do next...

And I am an awful mother. Scott just came in to tell me that the nursery he had worked at the last few years that went out of business might be reopening so he might have a job there again soon. Which is GREAT! which also sucks because that puts yet one more wrench into the income reporting issues that I am struggling with. And that, my dear O-Fam, sent me into a bit of hysterical laughter-- and not for the first time in the last few days. I am *thisclose* to losing it completely, I think.
I am also way behind the F-W's ordering, I tried working on some of that yesterday as well and I have to place the supply orders today. At least that usually makes me happy.


Love to all!

Trudy- it is crazy that it is Nov already, right? I am looking forward to putting a lid on 2018.
That is too funny that you chatted with the neighbors and found out that they had twins! Hope that you are able to get all of the pics of all of the grands soon.
I am pretty scared of being uninsured. All it will take is for one bad thing to happen and end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars in hospital bills. *knocking wood repeatedly* Thanks for the good thoughts.
And go you with swimming all of those laps!!! :high5:

Rae!!!!!!!!! I LOVE the new avi photo! You look gorgeous-er and younger every time you update. It makes me so happy that B is doing well and able to participate in activities. That has to help her so much in feeling "normal."

Nancy- no T or T-er's at all? Do you have lots of candy, bet your boys will be pleased if you do. Aww, how sweet that the new baby is good and that the big sisters are happy too.
The weather was warm yesterday and isn't too bad right now either, even if it is rainy.

HAGD!!

Morning ladies... I was up early, but had a great sleep and for a change I didn't even have one bathroom call all night LOL. I know too much info!! It is rainy but so very mild this morning, the house did not even cool down one degree all night, that's crazy! I got another calendar page done yesterday, so I will have to post that one today. So that is 5 done already, I am on a roll. I haven't posted my February page yet, I am not really happy with it so I will have to tweek it a bit. Lots of things to get done here at the O this morning and then I will be meeting SIL Linda downtown to do some shopping and drop off a Norwex order to her. Not too much planned for the weekend, just the usual stuff and things. No pool for me today, so I hope that we do lots of walking downtown so I can get a bit of exercise today.

Chris - Ughh I really do feel so badly for you and your issues with the health insurance companies!! At least you are doing all that you can to have health insurance, keep trying my friend, it must be so frustrating for you! :frusty: How can you say that you are a bad Mother???? Really you are allowed to have a breakdown once in awhile you know! You do everything for everyone in your household, stop being so hard on yourself!! You are amazing!! :hug: Yes I finally got some photos from our son last night, what a motley crew!! LOL I will have to get a page done soon with their photo. They went to a Halloween party with 8 other families and all were french, it has been a while since they have practised using their french so they found it hard to keep up with the very fast french speaking couples LOL. They did have a wonderful time though! I hope that today goes better for you and that you can finally get this insurance BS resolved!

Rae - Love, Love your new AVI!! You are looking good girlfriend! I really need to update my AVI too! I best wait until I get my hair done at least though LOL. Glad to hear that B is participating in activities and enjoying the music so much! Keeping my fingers crossed that the assessments go well and they can place her in a great facility where she feels like she is at home! You work so hard and do so much for B and your family, don't ever forget that you are a wonderful person!! :hug:

Nancy - Awww that is sad that you did not get any trick or treaters, but I guess its a good thing that your DH did not buy too much candy! So nice that you and Luther can get out for your walks without having to bundle up too much! Hope your warm temps continue! yes we change our clocks this weekend, they are talking on our news that perhaps its time to give up daylight savings time. Of course they talk about it every year and yet nothing ever changes LOL. When we lived in Saskatchewan they do not have Daylight Savings time, I kind of liked not having to change the clocks!! So I wish they would end it!

:hello: Jean and Felis wherever you are! I hope that you are both well and doing something that is keeping you busy and happy!

I need to get my morning chores done and then open up photoshop and start scrapping for a bit this morning. Have a wonderful friday everyone! :wave:

good day - my DH tried to go to work but his train was cancelled and then the buses were local and at Newark the Path was delayed. So he stayed home LOL. But in doing so he got to stop at the dentist and he broad home fresh bread. Yummy. Luther is at doggie day care. I have bills to mail off and then do the online banking. Other than that it is just a do nothing day as it is all rain.

Chris I saw that ACA is now open enrolling. I hope you can find a plan and enroll! They are terrible in giving you this run a round. Good luck but most of all you should know you are a great parent. And now that your kids are almost adults you might let them learn how you do this insurance and this might so ease your anxiety. I bet they want to help but just don't know how! You are a great mom.

Trudy congrats on a good night sleep. Glad you finally got your photos. Enjoy the day!

Rae I have to find you new AVI.

Waving to all!

Have a great day!

Good morning, ladies. Can't believe it's already after 10. I went for my morning jog with Taz at 7:30 and then went back out with my camera/macro lens and took photos around the neighborhood. I didnt' think there would any more opportunities for fall photos with all the rain we're getting now but this morning the rain stopped, the sun started to rise and I took advantage of it to grab some close-ups. I was very careful b/c of the arthritis in my finger, had to be mindful of how I was holding the camera and made sure to rest my hand a lot. It's aching now but it was soooo worth it. I had fun. I'll post the photos in a FB album later today. I'd better go shower, get to work and then later I'll come back to check personals. Have a great day everyone. Here's the one shot I posted so far, my first shot this morning after the rain.

Hello girls! Hi Trudy!

I miss you all so much! I do not suffer anymore that I'm not longer able to scrap here. Actually without scrap I have more time for my other hobbies.
But the fact that I had also to stop my daily chat with you is so painful yet, every few days I remember for that "fairness to all" and curse it! I just kidding :laugh: (or not :roll: ) , actually Mark Twain was write this for one publisher which is rejected him and I decided it is fun said. No curses only sour feeling. Damn! I'm like a broken record. Better to focusing on you!


Trudy, I'm so curious to see how your kiddos was dressed up for the Halloween! Will check for your page or at least photo. Last photo with the view from your area was breathtaking!

Nancy, sorry to hear hockey is not going very well for your team, but hope this not ruin your fun! Congrats for the another trip! I'll wait to see your photos! Girl, you have so interesting life!

Rae, your new hairstyle is awesome, love it! Last news from B sounds encouraging. What happening with your entry for the photo concurs, I didn't understand the result?!

Jean, I sent you PM, so wouldn't repeat it. Hugs!

And, my dear Chris, I'm so sorry to hear that you have new problems with the health insurance! Fingers crossed to be able to find decision fast! I saw this on Instagram and it's remind me for you.

Gary was made excellent scene, your Halloween video is so fun!

Hugs and kisses to you all!
