One of my favorite songs as a child was, All I Want is a Happy Hippopotamus. I need to teach it to the little ones. Can't believe I haven't done that already. All my incredible knowledge and not passing it on, I mean what am I thinking.
Go read Cheryl's frugal corner today and if you don't come out better for it, I have a solution. It is not a pretty solution. Just go read her.
It was such a good day yesterday with my Sissie.
I was into the 4th hour of sewing and still had not sewn a zipper, but I had them all torn out. Sissie had done a pile of mending and had made a really cute apron. She was done and I was done.
I did discover that I have a wedding dress due out this week, oops! So that is the first thing I will tackle this morning and then onto zippers.
I have to pick the kids up in Colton and have to leave here at 2:30. Then will stop at food bank for neighbor who has a doctor appt. and cannot go. So, it will be a short day.
Ran to my specialist this morning as I was out of Drugs. I thought I had one more bottle. We are trying to get onto the company's program where I will qualify for free or lower cost meds. This med is $5000 a month and my insurance will not tough it. Lots of paperwork. Say a prayer for me.
SO, on the agenda for today is to hem and bustle a wedding dress. Not a hard one this one is pretty simple. Then I replace 5 zippers. I hope I can get them all done before I leave for the day.
That will leave 4 bridesmaids dresses and two wedding dresses in the shop. There is a dress for next February, but I will not do it until the first of the year. Too many things can happen if you alter a dress early. That is for January. Then it is just the piles that come in and I still have a few.
Things come in every day. They are not huge, but they keep a steady trickle going.
We are seeing cooler temps in the low 80's. It is perfect weather. Not that we won't get another hot spell, but the next one will be in the low 90's. I am sure the 100's are over for this part of Idaho.
I could start to clean up some things in my garden. As in pull plants no longer producing. This is the perfect weather for it. As soon as all the wedding things that are due out for October are done, I will attack the yard. Plenty to keep me busy.
Have a great Wednesday.
God is good
Kim
Thank you for the mention!
ReplyDeleteOh how I hate zippers - always have. I started sewing as a kid, and that was the one part I sure didn't like. Good luck.
Well I didn't do any of them as my procrastination gene took over.
DeleteHello Kim! Sounds like you have a busy day. I hope you can get your medications lowered!!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteOuch on the medicine, I’ll say a prayer and hope the paperwork isn’t too tedious.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI really, really hate zippers. Hope you got your meds lowered.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I am in your club!
DeleteAh, the beginning of when the LC Valley cools down! I did love (and still do love) that town. My daughter would like to know if the high school still has a serpentine at Homecoming. She was in special ed (at Jenifer and the old HS) and the serpentine was her favorite thing!
ReplyDeleteKim, are you on Medicare yet? If so, when they have open enrollment starting next month, go to an insurance broker (no charge to you), have them feed all of your prescriptions (including the biggie) into their computer and compare how the different plans pay. Then buy the plan that does the most for you. I had quite severe osteoporosis (have lost over 3 inches in height). There is a class of injectable drug that includes Forteo that actually builds bone and generally shows significant improvement in about two years. It was either United Healthcare or Humana that had "some" coverage so that's what I bought. It brought the cost down from $36K year to $10K, which I admit is still a fair piece of change. However, I was on Forteo for only one year and I have been in complete remission for 4 years and counting!! My husband was 100% on board (his mom had severe osteoporosis) and it was worth every penny! I hope you will get on your drug program, but if not, don't be shy about changing insurance companies if it will help you.

No I have lived here for almost 40 years and I don't ever remember the serpentine. I was coaching so I would have known about it.
DeleteHi, regarding comparing Medicare drug costs, part d, Google the government site that does the comparison and you can do the research at home…you put in your drugs and it shows you all the part d plans, coverage and costs. No need to go to an insurance agent for this first part of the analysis, fyi. Hilogene in Az. I will see if I can find the site and add the link here,if allowed.
ReplyDeleteI have the most expensive part D plan No plan covers these autoimmune suppressive drugs. I know several people in my dilemma.
DeleteHi, you have to log into Medicare.gov, so I can’t post the link, but that functionality is there that allows you to enter your drugs and see their cost under various plans….i think Kim is too young for Medicare ;). Hilogene in Az.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
