refreshment

I love ginger ale.

I'm sleepy.

I have 2 new teeth, sort of, by way of crowns. They are a shade whiter than the rest of my teeth "in case I want to get a whitening. There's $99 special this month!" Gee. Thanks. On top of the nearly $2,000 I paid for the rest of the work, not to mention the three visits that totaled about 6.5 hours in the dentist chair, sure, let's just throw that on top of it too! Um no.

Did I mention I was sleepy?

While waiting in the aforementioned dentist chair I managed to peruse a few snippets of Anna Nicole's diary. Now that's some compelling stuff.

I like this Andrew Bird character. I just looked him up on Wikipedia. Glockenspiel was mentioned. Glockenspiel is an awesome word. Glockenspiel playing is awesome.

I think I have pink eye

Can stress cause pink eye?

Otherwise, I assume it's allergy-related pink itchy eye spot syndrome.

In other news, mandatory chewing on one side of the mouth is much harder than it sounds. Getting crowns sucks.

whasnlsah.

Mine eyes hurt.

OK, OK

Not much going on in the land of Lou. Had a little miscommunication at the pharmacy Saturday wherein the pharmacist was unaware of the insurance company's decision to change the way my medication was counted. I ended up paying more than $200 for my migraine meds and freaking out because the pharmacist explained to me that my "insurance company has decided that it is no longer going to pay for the medicine." Because I had a migraine at the time (it was an emergency visit to CVS) and at any moment was going to vomit on the floor, I yelled at her that I would need to have that medication now and that I would pay for it, all $200+ of it. She wasn't too friendly to me either, saying that I needed to find an alternate medication because it was too expensive. At any rate, I calmly (no seriously, I was calm) consulted my insurance company today, and it turns out that the way pharmacist imputed the amount of medication -- he/she (there were 2 people) put in 6 because 6 doses come in the box --it looked like I was trying to get 6 BOXES of the medicine. OK, so I get the confusion, and of course if I were an insurance company I would red flag that. But here's what I don't get. When I spoke to the insurance lady today it seemed as if this was something that was happening frequently and it was super easy to pinpoint the problem and resolve. (I get my money back except for my regular co-pay). However, Pharmacist number one explained that he spoke with my insurance company. Why the hell didn't he receive the same info? And why was pharmacist number 2 such an ass? BS CVS pharmacists.
