the “in the beginning, [thing]. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move” one
frrrrustrating experience with the "pharmacy liaison" office of my healthcare provider.
so like, we had to get prior authorizations for new medications I'm going to try for my beautiful chronic issue. normal. it even went really quickly--my case passes their arcane rules, and the approvals came through the literal next morning. and the "prior authorization" office of my health provider sent me messages about that almost instantly, plus info for reducing my copay. all great.
but I had to call back almost a week later when I had no notifications of "hey we got your prescription, delivery date is X". the status in my health portal thing was saying "we're waiting for prior authorization". you, uh, have that? how do I fix that?
I had to call my healthcare provider to get offered to fill the prescriptions through their pharmacy partner, rather than them automatically sending stuff to my chosen[*] pharmacies like every other new prescription I've had ever.
[*] -- not my choice. the one my health insurance chose, and will call me about every month if I choose differently, even for prescriptions that they refuse to fill because the amount is too low.
and then when my prescription was ready I had to play phone tag for two days just to hear that. and this isn't even a controlled substance. fuck me whenever I do need one of those I guess.
I took my health provider's offer to fill through their pharmacy because I thought it would be easier and quicker. so far, not so. I await the phone calls from my health insurance about cheating on them with another pharmacy.
EFFICIENT SYSTEM
I stepped halfway off a curb and twisted my ankle and fell on my ass (and hand) but probably no lasting hurt other than pride. and I am very glad I wasn’t holding my phone. the road surface just there was pebbly-rough and gritty like when they’ve scraped it to put down new asphalt.
someone walking the opposite direction asked if I was okay and when I said thank you yes they said “ouch!” very gently—love a kind stranger. I love a kind stranger!
watched the National Theatre production of The Importance of Being Earnest. It's great! I love this play anyway, but this was such a fun production. The set design is GREAT, the costumes are GREAT, the curtain call is GREAT. The acting and character choices are wonderful and the visual gags are fantastic.
I could not stop staring at Lady Bracknell's dress in the last scene.
streaming DJ’s cat just jumped up on his table!! new thing to look forward to on streams: cat!
she is very cute: a cow, who doesn’t get chromakeyed out so is vivid against the background art. crouches and watches his hands, and leans very hard into pets, and yelled at him a few times already
ohhh mg she is being cat-croissant on the table now
like imagine pulsy trance and a ravy background of multicolored light streaks against black, and in the corner, a lil kitty sleeper
I worked around all the other issues this week, and it made me so tired and stressed, but if it turns out that I won’t have hot water this weekend, oh my god, someone will end up on the news
a really nice woman cooed over my tattoo today
she had my ID, saw I’d celebrated a birthday recently, asked me what I’d done for my birthday, so I showed her: tattoo
it’s healing really nicely, and I’m still really happy with it
six months on, there is sooo much less cat hair everywhere, except for the places that were truly hers and that she’d felted her sheds into. like probably when I move the bed I will find the bottom edges iced in places with cat fuzz.
and no cat litter tracked into the bed, because it’s just not around. I probably don’t even automatically do the foot-sweep-brush-off anymore.
maybe I will put string lights on the big cat tree this year. that might be a little sad but probably funny.
