So, I think I've mentioned how Page hates change, right? Because he does. He's not absolutely horrible about it, since, if he's given enough warning, he can adapt, but still. He hates change.
Too bad for him, as change is a comin'.
Doing the bills this morning, I found notice that as of July 1st, his insurance is switching over to Medicaid. On the plus side, this means there will be no copays, and, for the first few months, no premiums. On the downside, this means that we'll have to switch counselors, because the place the current counselor is at doesn't accept Medicaid.
Bah. At least psychotherapy/counseling is covered. That's better than Medicare.
I guess how to proceed is something to discuss with the counselor next meeting. At least we have a couple month's warning (if I'd opened it right away, it would have been nearly three months. Ah well.)
Meanwhile, I'm finding that I could be a perfect case study for modern malnutrition. ( Niacin deficiency symptoms, and other malabsorption issues )
On the plus side, I do seem to be absorbing nutrients now. Even if I do need to get them from pills, since the leafy-green foods still give me problems. :-(
(I wonder how much of my digestive/absorption problems are related to my prior chronic dehydration... A fair amount, I imagine. *checks hand for bulging vein* *drinks more water*)
Ah well. To end on a good note, while tomorrow is the day to get the official grades from school, I know I ended the business course with a 99%, so that's good. I can't imagine I got less than 97% in accounting.
(On the bad side, books for next semester are going to be really expensive. Over $200 just to rent! Ouch.)
But it's raining gently right now, which the garden is enjoying, I'm sure, and I can spend the day any way I choose. Haven't decided between reading "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff" or more Sherlock Holmes (first two novels down, now onto the adventures). Should probably go "Lamb" because it's a library book. Which, of course, means Sherlock is the more appealing option. Silly, obstreperous me.
Anyhoo. I hope your Monday is as good as possible, given the day, and may the week get better from here on out.
