Good morning ladies! I am freezing to death this morning. I turn the thermostat way down at night so in the morning when I am up and going I get cold fast. We have a programmable thermostat, but it drives me nuts to get it to work right. I think if I ever figured it out it would be fine.
Jean: I thought the same thing as Susan you are working as much as you did for school. Church work is one of those things that when you volunteer they make sure they keep you on "speed dial." They figure they have a hook in you and don't want to let you go since volunteers are hard to come by. I decided not to work at T's school this year. She called and asked, but at the time we were going through the car thing with the grand marquis and I told her I was was down to just one car. We still are until after the first of the year so I don't want to be pinned down if I don't have to be. I think once we get the grand marquis situation sorted out I may find somewhere to volunteer. My hair lady never did get back with me about teaching knitting classes to the mother's at Ronald McDonald house, which is next door to St Judes.
Susan: You have been busy, busy. I checked out the Tricare for Life and looks like it will fit the bill as long as there are not a lot of things Medicare doesn't cover then we will end up footing a big part of the bill more than likely. He still has a few years. I thought it was 63 but I guess it is 65 for Medicare. The nice thing is we don't have to deal with changing prescription plans.
Jack is calling his doctor today and getting an appt to discuss all his hurts and booboos. I know I talked with Susan awhile back about what I thought might be a hernia and she said it sounded like GERD. Well, he had an acid attack the evening before last, so bad it choked him a lot. So the next morning he was still feeling the effects and I told him to stay home from work yesterday. I knew he wouldn't be able to get into our drs as they never had open appts, but I sent him to a Walgreen clinic so he would at least be able to get an excuse for staying home. She really couldn't do anything for him and told him he needed to be evaluated by his physician (which I have been nagging about but gotten no where.) She was so nice she cancelled his appt since she couldn't do anything for him and didn't charge him for it. They take tricare, which is nice since like I said we can't ever get into our drs last minute. Heck, it take Jack two weeks at least to get an appt with his dr. He is going to have her check out his hand, his knee and the gastro stuff so I am pleased the dr at the Walgreens got through to him.
Well, onward with my day. I got nothing done yesterday with Jack being home so I want to work on the upstairs today. Tonight is potato soup and rolls for dinner! Have a good one! Faye
