Life Groups
September 24, 2006So I took the big plunge and signed T and I up for one of the life groups (what our church calls small groups) that are starting up this fall. And I’m doing the women’s bible study on Tuesday mornings.
I’m hoping this results in some new friends as last night I started to think about calling our friends we are trying cut ties with because the loneliness is getting to me.
Yay!
September 24, 2006Cloudy again
September 23, 2006Blah. It is cloudy and rainy here again. There have been too many days with no sun lately. I had hoped that it might be decent enough weatherwise to take Widget apple picking this weekend but it is looking doubtful at the moment. There are another couple of weekends before the season is done, so hopefully we will get a chance to do it.
And all the rainy days have messed up my walking schedule (that and the hospital stay). I was doing pretty well walking about 1.5 miles 4 evenings a week. I’ve gone twice since I got back home. I’m dreading when it starts to get cold. I’m going to have to figure out some other form of exercise for the winter. Outdoor walking with snow and ice and cold is so not my idea of fun.
Plus I need to get my act together and either get a decent update letter and pictures together for L or call her to set up a visit. Really I should do both. I feel so guilty for falling down on this. I just haven’t been able to cope with it this summer. I can barely cope with my family, T’s family without feeling like I’m going to fall apart afterwards. She doesn’t know anything about the depression and junk I’ve been dealing with and I don’t want her to know. For pete’s sake, she chose us to raise her daughter because we were supposed to be in a better spot in life to do it.
The first of many insurance joys
September 22, 20066:45 PM Little update at the end
*****
So I just got the first explanation of benefits from my insurance company.
Yeah.
They denied everything, even after I got a letter from the mental health utilization company saying inpatient treatment was allowed for my diagnosis.
And I know this is not the whole bill (it was only $475).
Yay for phone calls to the insurance company and hospital to find out why.

The BCBS customer service person said she didn’t know why it kicked them out but she would resubmit them manually. Supposedly, I will get a new EOB in 3-4 weeks, which means I will get a bill from the hospital and have to call them and say they have been resubmitted. I wonder how many times I am going to have to do this…
This morning
September 22, 2006Widget ate a bowl of fruity cheerios and 3 string cheese sticks for breakfast. Then she came and asked me for “I ceam?” and pouted when I said no.
She also insisted upon wearing her purple raincoat over her pajamas.
Goofy girl 
Fall
September 21, 2006I was going to write a post about fall because I love fall but both Overwhelmed with Joy and Jenna summed it up perfectly.
And I think I will watch You’ve Got Mail. Fall always makes me think of that movie. That and school supplies- I still love school supplies. New pencils, folders, notebook paper, my favorites
