On top of spaghetti...all covered with cheese...

For some reason, I didn't fall asleep until about midnight last night and then I woke up at precisely 4 a.m. and couldn't fall back asleep. Can somebody please send ambien? I swear, I was so tired this morning that as I was brushing my teeth, I glanced down at the cold water handle and, I kid you not, it started to look like a monkey. I'm effing hallucinating here, people! And that is why I made J drive to work today. I freely admit that I am a hazard to others. And this time I'm not referring to my sharp wit. Zing!

Seriously, though, send ambien.

I lost my poor meatball....when somebody sneezed! Emma Helen learned that song recently and it makes her laugh.

Ann, you should talk to your doctor about your sleeping!! You should have a standing RX for Ambien or something..just don't sleepwalk, get in the car and drive off! :)

I am glad the monkey didn't start talking to me. That would have really freaked me out.

Yeah, I need to get a new doctor because not only does he refuse to help with the sleep problem, he hasn't returned my calls the last two times I've tried to get in there for an appointment. I just need a new doctor.

Doesn't return phone calls?? DITCH HIM! Sleep deprivation is serious...my dad was referred to a sleep specialist and it has made the biggest difference!

I'm planning on it, believe me. Beth, did I tell you about this new health plan the school switched to? With the high deductible and health savings account?

No, you didn't tell me about the new plan...do tell! Changing to higher deductibles is so common...at the museum after my first few months there, the deductible went from $500-$1000...ouch.

Check this out: we have a $80 premium each month, but we have to reach a $4000 deductible each year before the health insurance company pays anything.

WHAT? $4000?? I have never heard of a deductible that high, wow. So you don't have a copay?
Ann, that stinks, i am sorry!

Nope, no copay. Hopefully after a few years we'll be able to save up some money, but if you get sick early on in this plan, I don't know how you ever make it up. I am seriously considering writing my congresspeople and asking them to look into nationalized health care :)

Seriously, you should research into getting a policy separate from work, you might have to pay a bit more a month but in the long run it would be cheaper. EH's policy is separate and we saved $100/month and the copay is only $15. In the meantime, I am so sorry about your sleep and hope you can rest tonight!

that is the most ridiculous health insurance i've ever heard of.

maybe we could have a fundraiser to get money for ann to go to a decent doctor... annstock?

HA! Annstock! :)

Yeah, this health insurance is really scary. If you can not get sick for 2 or 3 years, you're ok. One of my coworkers said she won't save up enough money to meet her deductible until 2010. Isn't that crazy???

You know what's ironic about this? This whole HSA/HDHP thing is Bush's idea, but everybody I know who works for the government has better healthcare than I do. Hmph.
