Went down and painted for a bit this morning. It was windy and hot. Got the east side of the coop finished. Only have the top of the north side to do and the chicken coop will be painted. I was feeling a bit weird so decided not to push myself and came in before I did the last little ibt.
Came in and fell asleep in my chair. Woke up feeling better although I have been a bit off still. Thinking maybe the heat from yesterday got to me today. We will see if that is what this is.
It got windy last night and has stayed windy today. Nothing like hot heat blowing in your face. It got up to the mid 90’s today – a bit of relief from the 104 yesterday. It is still feeling plain ass hot outside today.
Got a call from my Endocrinologist office. They told me insurance has denied my doctor’s new prescription for the thyroid medication. When I asked the nurse how I file an appeal she didn’t know. She called me back and told me I needed to come to the office and sign a form and they would send it in. When I told her I was over an hour away from the office she said she would check and call me again. This time she told me when I get my denial letter I could sign the appeal form that should be with the letter and then mail it to them and they would file an appeal.
I checked the pharmacy website and there is an appeal process on it too. I have to wait for my denial letter though as they need a claim number before I can completely fill out the paperwork on-line. Obstacles in every direction.
Then I got the mail and got a bill from my family doctor’s office for the physical I had in May. Insurance denied coverage. This happened to Jim too and I knew what to do. I call the billing office for my doctor and told them they had coded it wrong. Sure enough, that is what happened. They are going to correct their mistake and refile. Dang! Insurance issues today. What is up with that? They ran into the wrong person though as I am not going away quietly.
I wonder what people do that don’t know how the system works? It seems a shame that insurance companies dictate what medication you take. I will notify my family doctor about the error in coding and let him know it happened to both Jim and I. One time is a mistake, the second not so much.
Got the floors on the main level cleaned today. Still need to dust and clean the bathroom and I will be ready for my guests that are coming Sunday afternoon.
Jim and I are going to Emporia tomorrow to pick up a few things. He needs to go to the hardware store again and I need a few groceries and other things from Walmart. It will be our big adventure for the weekend.
The dryer got delivered to my renter today without issue. She was home so she handled the delivery. Glad that is crossed off my list.
The handyman let me know the exhaust fan is old enough that they no longer make repair parts for it. There is a modified part available but it costs almost as much as a new unit does. He is going to order new units for me and then come install them when they come in.
I’m still waiting on the check from the solar panel company. It will be good one of these days to cross off these things that seem to be hanging around on my pending list.
I’m fixing sauerkraut and hot dogs for dinner tonight. That will be easy. Not sure my tummy can handle a hot dog tonight so I may have left over grilled chicken. I still feel a bit queasy and a bit off this afternoon. That is what we were going to have yesterday until the kiddos decided they wanted to stay for dinner. Hot dogs hold over well so no worries.
Cooler temperatures and chances of rain are in the forecast for next week. I hope to be able to paint most everyday next week at the rental house. We need to go in and get it mowed early next week for sure. Jim can do that while I paint. It is almost all done and I would love to get that puppy done with. I’m so tired of it.
Jim starts teaching a new OSHER class next Tuesday. This is a short class of only once a week for three weeks. He so enjoys teaching them. He will need to spend some time the next couple days doing the final preparation for that class. Since he is teaching on-line he uses a lot of Powerpoint photos. They take a good bit of time to find the images and then label them and get them in the correct order.
We get our new internet service next Thursday. I sure trust it will work better than the one we have now. I have to log on to the internet several times a day and once or twice a day restart my computer so I can get on. That becomes a nuisance and pain in the ass after a bit.
A week from tomorrow is the wedding reception for Nicole and Geoff. They had planned on getting married last October. They ended up with a small family wedding last June and are just now able to hold their big reception. It will be a fun afternoon and evening with them and their friends and family.
Summer Solstice is this coming week along with a full moon. I’m sorry to see the long days start getting shorter. I love all the day light -especially in the early mornings.
Grateful for the painting I got done today, grateful for medical insurance even with its problems, and grateful for the cooler temperature and rain headed our way.
