We're having an adventurous night. We just drove on the new road!

Just rode the Ferris Wheel with Shaun and went through the Not-so-Haunted Christmas House. I'm so glad Oxford has this. 🙂 I was such a weenie on the Ferris Wheel, but it was a lot of fun! 😃

The boys are watching Star Wars and I have the house to myself!  I CAN DO WHAT I WANT - however lame it might be!  WOOHOO!  I'm getting a shower, turning on some Andy Griffith, or Doogie Howser, or Charles in Charge and doing my nails!

I love my guys, but this not-people-y person has had very little time to herself this year.  I NEEDS IT!  Later, Internet.  I gotta go spend a little one-on-one time with the TV!  😃

Ever really thought about...

Ever really thought about how you're behaving according to your ani-pals etiquette?  Maybe sniffing their butts back is polite.  Just sayin'.  LOL

When you have plans, but...

When you have plans, but then you're like "Nah. Gonna stay home and wash my lizards."

Koopa is so mad. He keeps giving me the stink eye. Peach is trying to enjoy her bath.

I've been awake for 2, maybe 3 hours of this whole day so far.

I've been awake for 2, maybe 3 hours of this whole day so far.  Yay methotrexate.  😕

Speaking of - I found out yesterday that a 5 week supply of methotrexate at my current dose will cost about $50 a month.  Since my insurance was $30 / month and co-payments for regular doctors was $10, and for a specialist, $35, I think that's not the end of the world.  I will also need folic acid and Zofran to counter the effects of methotrexate, but folic acid is $15 for a big bottle.  Zofran might be more expensive, but I'm filling my last refill this weekend and I will just use it sparingly this coming year.

What I'm unsure of is how I will get my blood tested to make sure the methotrexate isn't wrecking my liver.  I am sure that by the time my refills run out in a few months I'll be due for that and that I won't be allowed more methotrexate without it.  I called my rheumy yesterday and left a voice mail asking how much visits were without insurance.  Maybe they'll get back to me early next week.

Still haven't heard from Medicaid, but the more information I'm able to gather regarding my insurance situation, the less hopeless I feel.  Maybe the coming year won't be a train wreck that ends with me unable to walk unassisted or without full use of my hands.  Here's hoping!

When it's your 7 Year Day and...

When it's your 7 Year Day and your guy tries to take you somewhere nice, like Olive Garden, but you're like "Can we just get some Domino's to take home instead?" 

This is how we do. 🙂
