Well, I have been looking into this Medicare thing, and although I am excited, and there is a lot to learn, it seems to me that having been given four and a half months to investigate what I will and will not need to do is a good thing. For example, I need drug coverage. I want to find out about chiropractic care and acupuncture. I would like to see if there is any way to get some of my supplements reduced, but I doubt that is likely. I am not old enough to have my drug plan through AARP, but there are many choices out there. I would like to continue using my regular pharmacy, so that is an issue. I can't pay too much out of pocket, so I have to weigh the cost of Medicare A and B with the D (drug plan of choice) plus the cost of the meds.
It is a good thing I like to learn! It is a bad thing, for me, that I have so many different things going on. I have been trying to start a business in my home to bring in more money (more on that another day) which has been taking money instead (not any more, except small supplies for now), I have this medicare stuff to learn about (insurance is sooo much fun :-( ), I am in the middle of sorting papers from life which have just piled up over the last four years of living here, I have unearthed a little patch of floor in my den, but lost ground in my bedroom, and I am sure I am forgetting several little projects (like cleaning the pole barn, framing a picture for my brother, making dinner every night, trying to get to bed at a reasonable time and get up at a reasonable time, working on trying to get more product for my business, working on writing my book...)... Whew! And more! This all from someone who, according to my neurological evaluation, has trouble multi-tasking, forgets unrelated items easily, and gets distracted by the smallest thing. And all that is true. I go down the hall, intending to get my stapler in the den. I get to my bedroom (past the den) and see the bottle with the pills I was supposed to take an hour ago... I sit down on the bed, then bring my feet up and start playing on my phone or reading a book. Soon, I am thirsty, but don't have my water in the bedroom, so I go to the kitchen, once again passing the den. The show I was watching is still on, so I sit down to watch it. There is paper around me so I start sorting it, but don't get very far because I am so distracted by the show, and just looking down means I miss dialogue on the show. And so it goes.
Well, gotta go to bed now so I can try to get up at a reasonable time and learn a little about medicare, but first maybe I will read, or sort, or work on my business, or make coffee, or start a budget, or maybe play a game or perhaps even work on making my bookmarks... but first, I should frame my brother's picture... if I remember before I turn on the tv...
