I am on hold with my health insurance company. Wondering whether seemingly simple thing will actually be simple. I'm betting no.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Argh. They said I'm not eligible for COBRA, because I'm moving to a different state.

That shouldn't be true, Hil, though depending on the plan they might all be out of network. I mean, if only doctors in PA are in network so be it but there must be a plan for "I was traveling to Seattle and got sick", right?

OK, so, after 45 minutes on the phone with them, I found out that there are several plans they can offer me, but they actually don't know anything about COBRA, and I have to call some other number entirely to find out about COBRA.

Our wings are not tired.
My sister in holding. Now 45 minutes on hold for IRS. The recording said 30-60 min wait, so maybe soon? The music is not entertaining.

My hold music was a jazzy version of "You'll Never Walk Alone." Jazziness did not improve that song.
Huh. Spell check thinks that "jazziness" is OK.
I'm giving up on insurance stuff for today. I'll try again tomorrow.
I also emailed the apartment rental guy with some questions, and he called me back and left the answers on voicemail. So now I've got to listen to the voicemail and write down the answers, because it's addresses and phone numbers and stuff. Would it not have been simpler for him to just email me back? The reason I emailed these questions in the first place was because the answers were things like addresses and phone numbers that would be a pain to get over the phone.

I think I decided I'll get an air mattress for the time in Cincy before my stuff arrives. Looks like the more expensive air mattresses are supposed to actually be decent, and they're still way cheaper than six nights in a hotel.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, my air mattress is extremely comfortable for my grouchy back, and I may just put it on my bedframe when my "real" mattress finally gives out. YMMV, of course, but comfortable supportive air mattresses do exist. I suggest, get it in time to test it and if necessary return/replace it before you need to travel with it. The key thing is the valve; if the valve isn't secure the air will slowly leak out all night long and you'll wake up on the floor, and the only way to know is to sleep on it. (This happened to me, my first night in my new house. Returned the mattress for a replacement and it was fine.) Also, you might want to check how loud the air pump is. Mine is fairly quiet; my BF has one that sounds like an airplane. Plus, you can adjust the "softness" by just letting air out.

Thanks. I'm not totally sure yet what my schedule is -- it depends on what time the movers come on Thursday, and how long they take. I'm thinking I'll stay on the air mattress in my old apartment on Thursday night, then drive to Cincy on Friday, get the keys to my new apartment, and then stay on the air mattress there until next Wednesday when the movers will get there.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Hil, that sounds like a good idea.
I ordered a bunch of baby laundry detergent and such from zulily because it was so cheap and not only did the box get soaked in a rainstorm but one of the laundry detergents leaked in transit and made a mess of everything in the box. Luckily, their customer service was great, and are not only reimbursing for the damaged items, but giving me a $20 credit on top of that for future purchases. TCG is cleaning up the mess.
