SHEs Organized

Here I go (again). Got an email from Med Co that my new prescription for Metformin is unable to be processed -insurance company won't cover it. I'm fairly sure it went through as Glumetza (the brand name) instead of metformin. Now I'm waiting for a call from the Dr's office to see if we can straighten it out on their end. I'm pretty sure this is the case because the script I picked up at W greens was for the Glumetza. Horrors if we're back to the ol' switched insurance numbers! I've been trying, quite unsucessfully, to call Med Co -always get a busy signal- to see what they have on their end.

REally want to head out shopping but my tummy is quite unsettled and have a case of diarrhea. Not sure if I'm still feeling a little punky from the flu shot or if it's the new med. And if the med is causing my tummy to be quite 'off'.

Have accomplished nothing except re-making our bed so far today. Feel like I'm in limbo waiting for the car to start being packed. Have to leave room for dgds on Sunday evening.

Guess I'll get a day-by-day l&&t done -so I know what I HAVE to accomplish on each remaining day. Have 3 more days after today. Guess I need to include today. DH needs the car later today so really need to get my shopping done fairly early.

Going to try to be somewhat productive in the next 1/2 hour>>>>>>>>>>>

I love Harriet's aprons!

even if I have to send lightbulbs and say change them yourselves

I am sure your dd/dsil will not think ill of you if they have to change their own lightbulbs! DD32 would probably rather you didn't try to do 1/2 of what you're doing over there for them to stay. You constantly amaze me at all you have on your plate.

Feel like I'm sitting in limbo, waiting for the Dr's office to call. Don't want to be on the road when she calls back. Number 1 -I couldn't talk on the phone & drive anyway and #2 -NY has a $250 fine if caught with a cell phone on the road.

Time to really think about finding some lunch. Those findings are getting harder and harder as I try to reduce what's left here. Plus my appetite is still not very good. Had a Greek yogurt for breakfast and just had a slice of cheddar cheese. Maybe I can down 1/2 a turkey sandwich. Know a whole is beyond me right now. Do know I'm going to have to pick up some healthy snacks. My mind is blank. Know Indiana left us a list of those -just have to go check it out.

I'm still here. I realized that if I left earlier for the library, I would be interrupting their morning story time with the littles, which already includes enough confusion. Currently the story time includes a couple of seasonal stories, 2 or 3 special songs with actions/dances, and then a coloring or super simple craft project. I love the mix of books, physical activity, and creative imagination.

Harriet ~ Thanks for the reminder of Ivy's question. I have several aprons and no one particular favorite. Yesterday I tried a new coverall style with crossover back, the one I finished sewing at the last sewing retreat. I was afraid it would be constricting, but it was really comfortable. Very protective, too, so I'll be keeping an eye out for fabric to make another one.

I love the 1940s-1950s type of half aprons, they're so pretty. Unfortunately, I don't find them very practical for cooking or washing dishes. I guess I usually grab a full apron, of which I'm expanding my collection of different styles.

I really don't like shopping for clothes. The aprons help keep me out of the stores.

(Harriet) Sorry your catalog order failed, what a bummer. I agree with Dee, I'm sure your DD32 and her DH are happy enough to have such a convenient place to stay, they won't mind sweeping the floor or changing a light bulb. She probably regrets that she can't help you more with elder care for your DDad.

OK, I'm going to s2s and zoom out the door. Well, really it will be more of a stroll out the door, I don't zoom much of anywhere ... but in any case I'll be out of this chair!

Have had my first phone conversation with Dr's office. She's going to start by calling the pharmacy ( W greens) to see why they filled prescription with a brand name instead of generic. Her 'guess' is that the insurance probably denied script at Med Co because they'd just approved the 30-day at W greens. BUT it still should all be filled as metformin, not Glumetza. Her next step was to fax Med Co with a note about what's happening. I'm good with them not filling it for a couple of weeks -but sure don't want it filled with name brand (which I would be responsible for full payment). Now I'm still in state of limbo (as far as going out) because medical secretary is supposed to call me back.

Did get the deck fridge emptied and defrosted. Now it's just air drying inside so dh can cover it later. He wants to get as much done as he can today as the weather will start nose-diving after today. Have the screen open right now. Think so I at least get something done, I'll heat water for dishes and get that done.

This is an apron household. At one point I realized I could buy aprons as souvenirs and have something useful as well, so I have three (blue nautical from our river cruise, red from Denmark - we needed one since we had an apartment and were cooking there, and an ivory one from the Azores for when I want to dress up a bit!) Plus my LLL one (when I volunteered at a national conference) and the one I made dh when he wanted an apron to protect his business clothes when he came home and still had to cook supper for me since I was busy with the kids all day.

I got the upstairs chores done but not much else. I'm going to go outside and start in on the gardens for as long as my back lasts. It is coming and going.
