Well, so much for THAT.

Today is Jan. 31. Tomorrow, our insurance plan year starts over. I am out of Risperdal entirely and went to pick up a refill over lunch. For which I had to pay the entire stinking amount.

Silly me, I thought since I'd satisfied the deductible LAST time, that this time I wouldn't have to fork out the entire $188.27, just the 20% copay. Which would have come to like $37. Which I could have afforded. I was so shocked that I had to pay the whole thing that it didn't occur to me till later that I should have asked them for a week's worth or something and called the pdoc.

Luckily, I was able to cancel an automatic payment before it went through, because otherwise I would have had $11 for the next 2 weeks, and zero, and I do mean not even a crumb, food in the house. Unfortunately, it was my gas and electric payment, but they can't shut you off here until April sometime (aka "the cold-weather rule").

Anybody know any eligible bachelors who wouldn't mind living in northwest Wisconsin (where it's currently a balmy 10 degrees) and who have both CPA and insurance agent certification? I was overdrawn by 56 cents this morning and am paying $31 for that, so I need somebody to just take over my money and figure out my copays!

GROWL.
