Shit, shit, and more shit...

This was one of those days where I had to deal with too much shit. Insurance refusing to cover lab work done...that is approved by Medicare, so they can't refuse it. Then changing and telling me they didn't get the doctor to respond to a request for more information. 

Getting the doctor's office to agree to look into it was fun. But it's that or I pay over $1000. All while Quest is ignoring me and won't let me get through when I try to call. I get the We're busy, call back bullshit.

And there's the ongoing saga of that car wreck I had just over a month ago...but which may finally be getting settled.

I'm also trying to get a funeral home to tell me whether or not they will work with the Neptune Society to take my ashes, once I'm gone. Not planning to kick the bucket for a while, but preparation is good. My brother's cremation and internment will cost close to $10,000 once he's gone, half of which I'm paying.

And he's also being difficult to deal with, despite hospice being there. Caused another trip to the ER to reinstate a drainage tube he pulled out of his right kidney. My sister is handling him.

So I went to a grocery store nearby, had an Avocado Roll I like there, got a couple things to take care of me when the next snow storm hits, and toodled home.

I worked a bit on Taking Nicky, mainly reworking what I'd already written and adding to it. I'm now at just over 7500 words, and it's become more vicious than I thought it would be. And fun. Rett is now wondering how he's going to get Nicky, no whether or not he should.

I really enjoyed Murder Before Evensong, despite not quite believing the reveal...though it did still affect me. Matthew Lewis was lovely as Canon Clement, and the script nicely paced. The acting on a good level, and the gay subplot well-handled.

I did think a few times the story was edging close to having Daniel and DS Neil Vanloo connect, which probably would have been to much...but I enjoyed their near flirting.
