susandennisThe pool is always crowded on Saturdays but today was worse because use lane was being used for a life guard class. (One of my favorite receptionists was taking the class. He would make a fine life guard!)
But, even so, the Backstroke Bitch didn't arrive until I was almost done AND used a completely different lane than mine. So even with all that, I got in a good swim. I started to come on home but decided to go ahead with the brunch plans and boy was that ever a good idea.
I had not been to Bings in a while. I guess I got kind of burned out on it but today it was fabulous. There were three things on the menu that were very tempting and a bunch of others that looked good. After I took a great walk. It was gloomy and kind of spitting rain and windy so I pretty much had the sidewalk to myself. It is a perfect area to walk - lots of interesting stuff to see. Like this lovely view:
Seattle is such a great place to live.
Back home, I just discovered that two packages that the USPS said would be here on Monday are actually out for delivery!! I just saw the letter guy who said he'd be back with the packages in about 45 mins. Excellent.
I remembered to bring my iPod up from the pool gear bag so I can charge it and change out some tunes.
Oh and I got a call from Walgreens that my gout pills aren't covered by my insurance. That makes two weird things not covered. The insurance pays all but about 1% of the really expensive stuff - the inhalers that run me about $200 a month (there are 2 of those and another that is about $100 a month) but the cough pills and the gout pills... not a penny of coverage. Weird. The cough pills cost me about $40 for about a 5 or 6 month supply and the gout pills are $40 for about (hopefully) a 6 months or more supply. I guess I'm just very glad that it's not the reverse and they cover the pricey stuff instead of the cheap. But weird.
I upped the daily goal on my Shine. I kept hitting it every day even before my 20 minutes of walking so I changed it so that now, after the basic walk and swim, I'm at about 75% - gives me room to work up to. I still love this thing. Fitness tracking keeps me engaged and incentivized and interested. And I'm pretty shocked to learn that about me.

As for the medication thing, it does seem to be that they pick & choose what they'll cover, eh? I find that in general when it comes to medications and insurance companies and the like. I wonder how they decide what health thing is more important than the other at times!
