So yesterday I asked what the title of "your" book would be if you joined the Human Library. You are supposed to come up with a catchy title in order to pique folks' interest. I haven't the foggiest notion what mine would be -- Banking on Tomorrow has been the name of my various blogs, As the Bank Turns was the name of my tales of organizational dysfunction, babbling is the name of my private blog and none of them seem particularly appropos for my title. Obviously I have to think about that. Equally obviously, I have some pretty strong doubts that anyone would be the least bit interested in "reading" me.
So why write? Heaven only knows I haven't been a very good or faithful correspondant to my good friends! Yet something about the idea of writing everyday for the public keeps niggling at me as something I should do, that I should tell the story of everyday life and instead of just sharing things on G+ and FaceBook and Pininterest and Twitter. Maybe I need the clarity and the discipline. Maybe it is a shout out to the world that I still exist.
Found this in my drafts before I stopped aggragating links. Insurance was on my mind because Baltimore County had switched plans from BC/BS to CIGNA. You don't think that the insurance companies are making medical decisions? My doctor has had to change two perscriptions in the past six months because Express Scripts, the provider of that portion of the coverage, feels that the drug he wanted to use was too expensive. And I am being threatened -- yes threatened -- that they will not cover refills because I insist on picking up my pills at a retail pharmacy rather than permitting them to mail them to me. I have called and told them that I live in an apartment complex and I don't feel comfortable relying on the mail, and they pooh-poohed my concerns. Yeah, I wonder how sympathetic they would be if an entire shipment was lost/stolen and they had to replace it. I wonder how promptly I would get the replacement -- or would I go weeks without the drugs. Of course I wonder if I really need high blood pressure, cholesteral and insulin-activation drugs too, but that is another issue.
