Rearranging

[susandennis]

I got my scooter all dressed for the season. The cup holder didn't work but it gave me enough of an idea that I was able to make one myself. The handlebar grips - which reviewers on Amazon said were a bitch to get on - went on easily and now, no longer look trashy. And it's parked back in my closet waiting for March 29.

I also did a couple of more little fixes around the house.

With an extra pair of hands and a spare brain arriving next week, I'm rearranging the living room again - in my brain.

I have this large, deep kind of daybed/sofa which just eats up the room. I need to get rid of it but... it's so handy and it's also massive storage (the seat lifts up to a cavernous space where all my linens live). Plus, I cannot find anything I like to replace it. I want a comfortable, small, mid century type loveseat/sofa. And I'd really like it to be purple. And not show cat hair. And I need it to land in my lap because furniture shopping is not that far above dentist visiting and baby showers in my list of stuff I don't like to do.

So we shall see. Fortunately, my brother is very willing and thinks before he lifts. He's good at pointing out why my great idea to move this there and that there has a fatal flaw.

I happened to log onto the Humana Pharmacy website to check on my prescriptions when I discovered that they were being held hostage because "insurance does not cover this so you will have to pay the cost. call...." fuck. Don't tell me what the cost is. Don't let me just click a box. Make me climb your fucking telephone tree. Thanks.

I called and told them to cancel that and fill the rest which I'm sure they will fuck up.

The one they were choking on is a fucking $15 cream for my seborrheic dermatitis. I bought a tube of stuff that works just as well from Amazon which, of course, will be here way before the rest of the prescriptions come from that stupid place.

I have two blood pressure medicines and one cholesterol and then my COPD inhaler. The Humana pharmacy fills all those without issue and with $0 cost to me.

Anything else I need will go to Costco. At least they are reasonable people to deal with and I can pick up bacon and get gas all at the same time.

Oh and my haircut this morning was a 100% success. Looks nice. No bald spots.

I've been looking at sofas recently - Modway gets some good reviews on amazon - not purple, but pretty

Hooray for successful haircuts!

Oh! I love that one. I specifically did not start down the Amazon rabbit hole but now you've started that... grrrrrr but, thanks.

T has seborrhoeic dermatitis too, and the problem she's running into is the doctor. Wah wah wah, you haven't been into the surgery for ages, we can't POSSIBLY keep prescribing this cream (which is also available OTC!) without looking in your ears. Complete waste of time, she's had it all her life so it's not going to go away, but the cream does keep it down so all they're going to see is... an ear. Ka-ching! She snarls something about Covid and they back down, but sooner or later that isn't going to work. I think it would be better just to buy it OTC and cut the doctor out of the loop.
