Yep, I’m screwed today. Couldn’t fall asleep until after 3am… was awake at 7am, and by “awake” I don’t mean “something woke me up and I was a cranky bitch about it” I mean, I layed here staring at the ceiling and grumbling to myself. I have layed down multiple times, for half an hour to an hour, still nothing.

Doesn’t help that my stomach is a little… umm, upset. One of the things keeping me awake at 7am was HUNGER, so I had a bowl of cereal (one of my safe foods). But now I think I have a lot of gas rumbling around. The farts are very unfortunate. (One dog stared at me intensely, and the other one actually started barking because he didn’t know what it was. Gee thanks.) I’m so glad I’m home alone.

But damn, work is going to suck this afternoon unless I can keep up this weird energy I have going. I’m just worried I’m going to be unable to nap, then have to go to work and then I’ll crash.

Den just got notice of open season (on insurance plans) coming up next month. I checked out the premium rates… our current plan’s rate will be going up a bit in 2008, and unfortunately no matter how you look at it Blue Cross Blue Shield appears to be a hefty amount more expensive than what we pay for our current plan. Plus it says “BCBS of RI” which probably means nothing good for infertility coverage, when it comes to that – not that the federal government feels it needs to follow state mandates or anything, anyways.

So we’re going to go to the info session on Nov 15 to get all the details on our options, but I’m not encouraged. Our current plan (ConnectiCare) covers ALL of my prenatal and ALL of the delivery costs, plus appears to cover all well-baby visit costs minus a co-pay. Unless we can get something else that has the same kind of benefits with a lower premium, it’s not really worth switching. (The only other health issues we deal with, aside from getting sick and having to go to the doctor, are Den’s chiropractor – which takes a co-pay – and my depression – which takes co-pays for the bi-yearly “checkup” and for all my medication. Oh, and the infertility thing. We would like a chance at a second child someday.)
