I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry, Dana

I hope you can relax and enjoy your time off, Sheryl

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm almost a week overdue for my Botox because my new neurologist's office has been trying to get my old insurance to pay for it, which they unsurprisingly WON'T DO. As I have had my new insurance for a month and a half and have seen another doctor at the practice, I did not anticipate this. And I only figured it out when I had to look at my old pharmacy's website and saw the Botox prescription sitting there.

Now I'm on hold to figure out what the hell to do for something that billed on my old insurance but was paid with the FSA card for the new insurance, because out of the four things we've put on the FSA so far, they want EOBs and receipts for three of them.

Oh, ugh, what a mess!

That sucks, Dana. I hope you can get it resolved with a minimum of hair-pulling -- yours or theirs.

You guys, they are experiencing higher than normal call volumes. Also, I should listen closely, because their options have changed. And for the trifecta, I should check their website, which answers most questions.

How very unexpected! It's a good thing they tell you that. Over and over again, I'm sure.

But of course, your call IS very important to them.

Ugh I would so rather have continuous music than keep being tricked into thinking someone is speaking with another "your call is important, have you tried our website?"

Flea, I had five months off not during a pandemic and was only really starting to get bored. I think 3 months during a pandemic is barely scratching the surface. Though if you're already at "cleaning the oven" you may be further along than I was.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

My ballot's here! Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh jeez, Dana. What a cluster. Good luck with all of that!

Heh. Yeah, three months in doesn't sound like time to worry if you don't feeeeeel like going back to work. Like, if you have to and you need a job, that's another story, but these months? Not exactly good for head-clearing and mental recovery.

I should really take a whole week off, since I'm maxed out on carry-over, but there doesn't seem to be a good time and what am I going to do anyway and meh. At least I'm feeling better mentally than a few weeks ago!
