Lazy Saturday...

While I had something scheduled for every weekend this month, the shoulder has prompted me to be a cancelling wench and just rest this weekend. So, I'm holing myself up like a hermit (after I get my ice coffee - I'd make it but every time I make it, it's not the same!), popping my Motrin and resting. Yes, I said it - MOTRIN. It would have been my prescription that my lovely MD called in from the Golf Course, but thanks to something called a lovely insurance plan - I saw the price on the prescription that barely works (Skelaxin) and it gave me gray hair. $277.00. Yes, you read that right - almost the price of my comfy chair for 90 pills to be taken 3x a day for 30 days which, by all past tries, barely works! I blew a gasket at the Pharmacist (sorry for that) and the lowest United Healthcare could do was $243.00. The good thing is the pharmasist knew that I normally paid $30.00 and when she saw my card she said "UNITED. Oh my god I'm so sorry!". Yeah - that's comforting. Needless to say, I refused to get them and told her nope. I walked out of Costco also leaving behind Cat Cora's new cookbook & Entourage S. 3 (You know I was p.o.'d then!).

Well, United and I had a little "discussion" yesterday and we're not getting along famously. Actually - we're not getting along AT ALL since Brian, the CSR rep that I finally talked to after their stupid computer automated attendant gave me a quasi-attack, decided that he was "all knowing and had an attitude so yup, you know he and I had words. Words that were not pleasant. And, to make it even more amusing, he made the inclination that I should have known since I chose the plan. Umm... Bump You Brian! My options were somewhat lacking so whatever.

So I have a doctor's appointment on Monday but my thoughts are to tell my MD, Mr. Pill-Prescriber, what bridge to jump off of and strength train that shoulder myself. I'll find another primary care doc here in Altamonte. And, while United and I are stuck together for the remainder of the year - I'll be damned if they will ever get more than my normal allotted paycheck draw. Idiots!

My dad and SL both had a great prescription - WINE! So that's on the agenda! And I'm working on my closet - but I'm NOT tossing around ANY boxes this week. It's time to start taking care of oneself and I must thank Brian for giving me the inspiration to tell United to jump off a tall cliff into a short lake.
