susandennisThis is where I am every morning - center lane mostly. It's 25 yards and I usually do 92 lengths or 46 laps. Front crawl only, non-stop. I'm not breaking any speed records. It takes me an hour.
I really do love it so much. It's so freeing for a fat girl to experience the buoyancy of water and the gracefulness that it enables. That it counts as exercise is just a double big fat bonus.
Another bonus is the traffic. Since those horrible two weeks after school started, the traffic between the pool and home has gotten steadily palatable. This morning it was a breeze. So nice.
I think today is going to be insurance day. I think I'll just bite the bullet and spreadsheet my options and then make the phone calls and then decide. I'm probably making a much bigger deal out of this than it needs to be but I have the time and the energy and probably more options than most so why waste the privilege?
This looks to be a quiet week here which is fine by me. I have dolls to make, TV to watch and, it turns out, Maria Semple's new book is pretty engaging after all.

Date: 2016-10-18 12:21 am (UTC)My doctor is in a big clinic and the clinic has a Medicare guy who's only job is to answer questions from old people like us. So I went to see him. He explained that what I wanted was Medicare Advantage and he showed me a bunch of choices. And explained that the best way for me to figure it out was to just slog through the choices and I did. I picked one and applied online and then the next year I picked another one (picked wrong that year!) and applied online and then this year, I did more research but basically picked one and applied online!
I started here:

You're in King Couny, right? Lots of choices. (Less populated areas have fewer choices.)
It is a pain in the ass but NOT nearly the pain in the ass that non-Medicare is. And the price is WAY better.
