  • The time has come...

    I like the walrus poem. It's one of my dad's favorites. But Dr. Seuss is his favorite poet. But anyway, that's not the point of this entry.

    My mom called me up about 4:00 and informed me that my insurance is up today and not December 31, which is what we thought. I've been prepping for it, but it's quite a shock seeing as I thought I had 6 more months. I got lucky because I went to the pharmacy and told them to fill anything that would go through, and I was 7 for 8. I was out of refills on the last one, which is totally my fault because I didn't look at the bottle before I ran out and hadn't made an attempt to fill it because I have some Nexium samples that will expire in July, so they're doing the trick for now. Zantac is over the counter though, so it can't be that expensive. What will happen with my other meds? I was quite panicky because that's probably close to $1,200 a month. I checked at CMH, and they said that the drug companies will provide me with meds. Changed my perception about them a bit. That takes care of three. The fourth psychotropic isn't covered under this, but I can get it for cheap at Walgreens (not as cheap as Wal-Mart, but having two different pharmacies would be a pain). I'm on my own for Zantac, Prilosec, and one more. Again though, acid reflux meds went OTC, so they shouldn't be too much. I'm going to CMH tomorrow to see if I could possibly meet with a case manager just to see if Medicaid would be an option. I'd really rather go there than DHS, which would be the alternative source for that kind of information. Plus I have to tell them not to bill anymore. The good thing about Community Mental Healths are that they were created for the uninsured and people on Medicaid and Medicare, which means that I can still go there. I was lucky that they took my insurance (one of the few that they do) because I have received stellar treatment.

    On an unrelated note, I've seen a couple of the oval car stickers with "26.2" on them. I'm assuming they represent marathons. I've always said that I'd want a "13.1" one because I'd much rather run a half-marathon than a full one. Well, today I saw one of those. Didn't think they made them.

    I was on a morning biking streak, but I haven't for like four days now. I had good intentions of going out this morning, but it was way too cold! Okay, so it wasn't below freezing or anything, but I like my summer to be summer-like. I spent some time with my roommate instead and it was very enjoyable.

    I got a call today from a professor at Eastern (Michigan) regarding my application. That explains why I didn't get a rejection letter in the mail. I was flipping out thinking of the hundred bad things that it could be. Did they think I plagiarized my essay? Were they going to tell me that I shouldn't even have bothered to apply? Were they checking my emotional stability? I was adamant about not calling the professor back today, but I worked up the courage. She wasn't in, so I guess I'll be waiting until tomorrow to find out what it's about. I have made progress in my thinking because I know it could be something good, like an invitation to apply next year or a recommendation on how I can strengthen my app.

    I need to shower. I'm sure you all wanted to know that. Back later.
