so this is a happy AND mad post!
First the happy. Joey is enrolled in a college class WHOOOT WHOOOT, and since he has the same teacher that I had, I can give him my book and save John 89 bucks. Makes sense.
Saturday, Lucas and I helped Amber move into her dorm at the University of Maryland Baltimore Honors college. It's a neat little set up, you walk in the front door and there is a little living room with sofa and coffee table and one chair. To the left is a bedroom for two, and to the right is another bedroom for two people, in the middle of the room is the shower/toilet. Funny, there is no sink to wash your hands in the bathroom. You have to go to your bedroom to wash your hands. I found that a bit strange. Anyway, She's settled, and the room looked pretty decent sized for two girls. I miss her more than I .. hell, i knew I was going to miss her this much. but it's nice that she's not too far up the road. Joey and I start school after labor day. And I am planning to take a water aerobics class in addition to my class class. Gotta talk to Chris about that one.
the bad. AETNA denied me chemotherapy to treat my cancer. the bastards. And they denied the appeal. bastards again. Dr. Fox said we had a year before we had to worry, but that time frame is quickly counting down and I need chemo, in his words, STAT. So, he contacted the manufacture of the medicine and they called me on Friday. We did a pre-screening and it seems I qualify for their free treatment plan, which is good because chemo costs about 9 thousand a month. I should be getting another phone call within a few days to set up delivery for the first month, then when I fill out the financial information (when I get the packet), they set it up so I get auto monthly deliveries, FREE of charge. I can't believe that I pay a lot of money for a primo family plan insurance, and they deny me medicine that will put me in remission.
I still love my job. No lie. I love the people I work with, I love the building and the history, I love the work I do, I don't even mind waking up at 4:45am to catch the bus. I just love it.
enough for the moment, I gotta chug down some lunch, then head to the gym downstairs for the last week of the challenge.
ta for now!
