Yay for finally getting your drugs, bonny!
quester, I wish I had some good advice for you. I agree with meara that food stamps would be a good thing to look into. I'm sorry that's the situation you're in.
I have no idea if these will be helpful to you, but here are a couple of things I just thought of: I remember people suggesting to smonster that she look into doing odd jobs for people, via something like TaskRabbit -- is there any chance you might be able to pick up a little extra work that way? Could you, say, petsit or walk dogs or do something like that on the side? Also, a friend of mine recently mentioned that her mom has written some stories for
Chicken Soup for the Soul
anthologies, and they pay $200 for every story they accept for publication. OK, so those books are not shining stars in the literary firmament, but it might be worth a try.
We help each other. It's what we do.
What I love is the feeling of sending out a few beans and finding they grow into a very large stalk.
I'm glad you got the medication, bonny.
quester, I'm sorry. I have no advice because I suck at money.
I was very productive today. I reorganized all my clothes, made a large charity bag and a smaller bag for the consignment store, and then did a bunch of errand. Then tonight tapas with friends. So drunk.
I'm sorry it's been so hard, quester.
Steph, insent, but no hurry. And thanks!
You guys! I'm so overwhelmed. I have no words...thank you!
{{{{{Buffistas}}}}}} I hug you all.
I have a, well, a plea. We are signing up for COBRA, but haven't sent in the paperwork yet. I won't have insurance until it does. I leave on Tuesday for 10 days in Holland. Could anyone send me some Ambien or Lunesta to use while I'm away? ten would be great, but five would do. I can do without it if needs be. I only use it for sleeping in a strange place, which is where I'll be.
Scrappy, I don't have any so I can't help you there, but I do struggle a bit with chronic insomnia so I can offer the suggestion that, if you can't get ahold of either Rx, try buying a higher dose of melatonin. I usually take 2.5 mg, and on a bad night can take up to two of them, but you can buy it in 3 mg and even 5 mg dosages. I like the sublingual kind as I find they are the most effective.
Scrappy, best of luck to you getting what you need.
Busy morning so far. I was on the phone with the fertility office trying to schedule three different appointments over the next week, when my insurance company called me on the other phone to tell me they found a therapist for me. And H e-mailed me about babysitting a couple of days over the next couple of weeks. Suddenly my life is much busier than it was last week.
Scrappy, not sure if its a cost-of-rx or a cost of going to doctor to get rx. If the former, since ambien is generic now, you can get it pretty cheaply at a lot of places.
(If its the former, some docs will phone call in a refill if you've had it before, but otherwise I got nothin)
