lunabee341. I got a letter from misbegotten with lots of stickers in it! And I got a book package from executrix with several old issues of Parnassus in it; I've been reading the most delightful article on epigrams. The writer has (appropriately) a nice sense of humor. Oh how I adore academic writing that is not lifeless and impersonal.
2. My neuro prescribed me a migraine rescue drug, finally! It's a long process with him, which I completely understand; he only does one drug at a time so that it's clear where any adverse effects are coming from, and Monday we were finally at the rescue drug stage. Y'all, my insurance will not cover this drug at all, and it's 900 motherfucking dollars for only a small number of doses. So that is a hard no thank you. I have called his office and asked for something else but not heard back yet. Also, now that I'm taking 200 mg of the monafidil he wrote the RX for the 200 mg pills, and the pharmacy has to do the preauthorization thing all over again which is just bullshit. I was approved to take the 100 mg pills, so I don't get it. Also, they cost me 50 cents, so they're not expensive.
3. All spring was a dearth of hummers, but in the last couple weeks they have started to come back, not in the numbers of last year, but at least a few. I love seeing them at the feeders and at the butterfly bushes.
4. We just made the first payment on Emma's fall semester. *cries* Y'all, we are so stupid. I mean, it's going to be fine, but I wish we had done more financial preparation for this. I'm glad we're going to be able to just pay for her education without her having to take out loans; that is a luxury and a privilege that I am deeply grateful for. But also we did a really shit job of saving for this, and it's going to be a financially stressful year (I mean, we could not have predicted totaling the car, the brickwork on the house, or all the medical expenses, but still). Thank goodness for Zel Miller and free tuition. Well, it won't be the first time we do a better job with Fiona than Emma the guinea pig. LOL
