Goodbye, September

I don't know what procrastination says about a person, but I do know I am an expert at procrastinating. If I had the energy, I would probably be stressed. I'm not stressed, just irriated that people can't do their jobs right. I have no trouble sleeping and I don't feel worried. Perhaps I'm depressed...

After leaving five messages with my nurse over a 9 day period to get a prior authorization for Cimzia, she still hadn't returned my calls or submitted the prior authorization like I requested. So, I sent my mom to the gastro office to get some answers. I sent my mom with a copy of my ID, new insurance card, and a patient disclosure form authorizing her to access my medical records. It turns out the nurse didn't call back because she didn't think the prior authorization was necessary since she gave a prior authorization for me last year. Can you believe that shit? My mom told her that she should have at least called me back to let me know she didn't feel like doing her job. Thankfully, my mom got the nurse to transfer the prior authorization from last year to my new insurance. I don't understand why the nurse couldn't just give a new prior authorization because that would last longer.

The pharmacy finally let me schedule delivery for my Cimzia, and said that insurance approved the prior authorization. Although during my first attempt today to schedule delivery, the pharmacy said that the prior authorization had been cancelled. Nobody seems to know what they're doing. I guess if Cimzia arrives when I scheduled the delivery, none of it matters.

In other news, while my car was getting leather installed they broke a bolt when they were putting the driver's seat back into the car. Now, they have to keep it in service to fix it. At least they gave me a free rental car. Plus, the leather looks and smells amazing, so it'll be worth it.

Technology Troubles are the Worst

I'm typing this on a kindle. It sucks!  My computer either won't turn on or will turn on for about 10 seconds before shutting down.  I'm going to be so pissed if I can't back up my files. I have lots of drafts and stories that I don't want to lose. Imagine all of my characters just ceasing to exist. I think I'm going to cry.... don't even get me started on thinking about losing my pictures

I used to delete my writings, but then one day I started saving some of them and obviously became so attached that I don't want them deleted. Especially one draft I've been working on for a while. We called her Betty.

Happy Early Birthday

I had a fun three day weekend in Lake Placid. I celebrated Taylor's birthday early with her and the family. Her family is beyond awesome! They are so sweet because they had dinner waiting for me when I arrived. Saturday we woke up early and Mr. C. took us out on his airboat. We saw tons of birds, butterflies, and a couple of baby gators. We even took the airboat on a dry land and got stuck, so Mr. C. had to get out to make it lighter for it move.  By the time we made it back to the house Mrs. C. was serving homemade lasagna for lunch. After lunch, Mr. C. told Taylor and I to get ready because he made us a mani & pedi appointment for 2pm. Mr. C. got a pedicure and Taylor and I got manicures and pedicures. It was my very first mani and pedi. It was quite an experience! I took a short nap afterwards and then Mr. and Mrs. C., Taylor, and I headed to see the movie "A Walk In The Woods."

Sunday, Taylor and I spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to work the C Geo app so that we could go geocaching. Once she figured it out we went out in search for geocaches. We found tons! We even went to the local state park to find some and we ended up seeing a deer and swinging on swings as well. We ate lunch at a local Chinese restaurant, which was delicious. Afterwards, we headed back to the house to take showers and then I took my daily nap. Mrs. C. made pork chops for dinner. Yum! After dinner, we headed to the bar down the street. We started with a jack and coke, then went to a long island iced tea... after which we still weren't  feeling a buzz at all. We took a Johnny Vegas shot (red bull, watermelon schnapps, and silver tequila) and then we felt the buzz. Taylor went up to the live band to request a song and ended up singing two songs (Sugarland's Stay and a duet of Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss' Whiskey Lullaby). I loved it because I had never heard her sing those songs before.  While she was singing I drank two key lime martinis and paid our tab. They tasted just like key lime pie. I should have been drunk, but I was just buzzed. When she was done, we sat at the bar a while longer talking until she was ready to drive home.

Monday, we woke up, had breakfast and lounged around watching TV until it was time to head home.

Can you spot the geocache?
