Chatting away most all of the day...


And of course I spent some quality time with Hubby discussing obscure topics of interest and even paid a couple of bills online today too. Since it is Wednesday the 27th already and the two online I paid today were both due on or about the first. I really thought I had more time, I’m glad I checked while checking other charges in our account. Usually, it only takes a day or two… and that is why I thought I could wait. Apparently, due to the upcoming holiday, Monday is the earliest it will get there electronically, but that is the first anyway. Does anyone know if Good Friday is also a bank holiday, here in the USA? I didn’t think it was. Direct deposit monies should be coming in tomorrow or Friday then I suppose? Anyway, those two were well covered, and yes, one was my next month’s health insurance premium and yes, with me being not sure about any health issues and with all this fine medication in my system who knows what this stuff could do to me at any given moment, I could be a rolling time bomb! Sure hope NOT! But, after a lot of introspective consulting with my own medical needs I realized that I didn’t want to dump a more dangerous situation on our family. I am erring on the side of, “it is better to be safe than sorry.” Even though, I still feel we are being gouged, but from what I have been reading it could have been much worse, in other words I am keeping an open mind, for now. I suspect this will be a month to month decision on my part,ha. I did receive all my other medications for ninety days supplies for each, and they have been calling me with being very nice to me, hmm… makes one wonder. That letter I sent may have made them think twice about their pricing or perhaps a suggestion of where their clients/patients could get the medication at better prices like I did going directly to the pharmaceuticals? If anyone has seen Miracle on 34th Street, you know what I mean by that… For any who may be living under a rock and may have missed this cinematic treasure...Macy’s Santa, suggests other stores for the gifts they don’t have and their reputation goes through the roof in a really good way!A win, win for all! In reality, my letter was not vicious it was concise in how I felt, but not mean, just frustrated with their co-pays and premiums really causing my concern for healthcare after not having it for six whole years, to falter enormously! I had known the system had taken a hit like everything else and sure nobody expects them to give it away, but to me it just seems like we are paying for prime real-estate in Beverly Hills but living in the projects in South LA, ya know what I mean? That analogy is slightly skewed but you get the idea…432, odd up to here that is the exact amount my monthly premiums are, and how many words to ‘idea’ were, 432. The other payment was from a doctor’s office visit co-pay of only $25 plus a $1.05 left over from my venipuncture from the total that the insurance didn’t pay, odd little amount too, which came in via an email, done and done. With that note of some note, a little note, I do hope… allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages with you know who, and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
