I’m leaving tomorrow as early as possible to go see Sara in NC, so no updates over the weekend.
It’s been like 5 or 6 weeks since I’ve seen her, so I’m pretty excited!

So what, a guy can’t go to bed at 8:30?
To hell with HMOs
‘Discontent’ was the closest mood to ‘Disgruntled’
An update on the allergy medicine saga…
I called my doc today for the pre-approval of my allergy medicine and he said no problem. I get a call back about an hour later from the nurse and she explains the situation in her best “wait until you get a load of this” voice. Aparently, the HMO rejected my request for preapproval because, despite the fact that I’ve been taking the same allergy medicine for 5 years or so, I have not sufficiently proven that I must have Zyrtec. As far as they’re concerned, I should be able to get along just fine with the over the counter Claritin (which of course I just have to pay out of pocket, with no reimbursement from them). Damn Claritin for going over the counter. So listen to this, this is what I have to do according to the doctor. I have to go buy Claritin, save the receipt and take it for 2 weeks. At the end of that 2 weeks I have to fax the doctor a copy of the reciept and tell him that the Claritin doesn’t work. After that they can forward the reciept on to the insurance company and say, “See! He needs Zyrtec!” What a rediculous waste of my time.
And for the record, my allergy medicine is the ONLY benifit I get from the money I pay every week for health insurance.
Bastards.
uuuuuungh
Lots to update about over the weekend, but I’m sicker than shit and I have an awful AWFUL sinus headache, so I’m going to go lay in the dark now and close my eyes.
This is as miserable as I’ve felt, possibly ever.
Quick one
Why is it so hard to find an apartment? Sara says it’s because we are picky, but I think it’s mostly because apartment advertisements are dishonest. They try to portray themselves in the best light including distorting maps as much as possible to appear close to everything. So I have to spend 10 minutes trying to find where each appartment actually is, only to discover its nowhere near where it says it is!
Also, didn’t plan on working on my paper tonight, but slave driver group member forced my hand.
I did get a LOT done tonight though. Grocery Store, laundry, organized guitar tabs, looked up apartment stuff, plus other little things.
I’m already dreading going to class tomorrow. 😦
