Happy Birthday Tom!

I once had a significant difference in what my insurance would cover between one 60 mg and one 30 mg capsule for a medication or three 30 mg ones. No idea what the difference is from their perspective since it's the same amount of the same chemical either way, but yay only having to keep track of one big bottle I guess...

Insurance sucks. Happy birthday, Scola!

Oh for sure—my insurance stopped covering the 450mg tablet, but will cover getting the 300 and 150mg tablets. But I have to pay double. It’s dumb.

Happy birthday, Tom!

Insurance is absolutely bizarre. Telehealth makes sense to me; it's nice to see a doctor without having to sit a waiting room of other sick people.

We just got our first set of Olympic tickets. I had grand plans for women's gymnastics (all tix from this round currently sold out), rugby (cheapest ticket is currently $400), Diving (ditto on expense). Couldn't find anything less than $200 for climbing, rhythmic gymnastics, swimming. I love the olympics and will be happy to see most anything, so I got us cheapish tickets to see the women's handball final, women's water polo quarter finals and preliminary artistic swimming. Handball is currently my outlier but it will be fun to see something where medals are awarded at the end. All told, 12 tickets for about $500. Grace has a ticket slot open on Sunday, so we will see what's available then.

Happy Tom Day!

That's so cool, kat.

Cigna is still covering our telehealth for now, praise be. I just had to drive my butt to an actual doctor--but it was for an annual skin check, so I guess that's fair. My skin passed, yay.

I'm having fun following along with the Artemis mission through the NASA app. I gave it permission to update my home screen with a latest picture once a day. It's the most recent Earth shot right now. Love it.

Then I read about their food options and also their daily agendas. Neato.

Successfully donated plasma, yay!

Happy Tom Day!

I think Blue Cross Blue Shield is still covering telehealth on my plan. Thankfully.

That sounds fun Kat! There’s been a cute bunch of stuff on TikTok about people trying out for the US women’s handball team—normally we wouldn’t have one in the games but because of host nation we get to try. But dang that stuff is expensive. (One reason I’m selfishly glad women’s sports aren’t more popular…I couldn’t easily afford things like the World Cup if it was men’s pricing!)

Timelies all!

Happy Tom day!

This week has been another shitshow at home. Mr. S had aggressive meltdowns several days this week, including Wed night when we were supposed to have the seder.(We hosted, my MIL did all the cooking) We just ended up saying a few blessings and Gary did MaNishtana, then we ate. Right now he's with the nanny for logistic reasons. I just don't know what to do. It seems like the smallest things set him off, including me saying anything.
