My adventures in Prescription Land

My husband is a union mamber. (Bricklayers and Allied Craftspersons) and we have prescription insurance. Several times, in the past, our insurance cap was met way before January 1. Now, with my daughter being unwell this year, the prescriptions have mounted up and our coverage is almost over. By next month we will no longer have prescription coverage.
So, what can we do? A lot of our meds are generics, so I checked out the pharmacies in our area who have that wonderful $4 a month plan and guess what?? None of the meds we take are covered! My daughter's doctor does not give out samples. ( For what purpose I can't imagine.) Now I am checking out Canadian Pharmacies and I've found some good bargains, but it will still cost a pretty penny. But God is good, all the time, and he has ALWAYS met my needs.

It's a tight squeeze when you fall between the cracks! (Hmmm... that sounds like a song!)

Knitting keeps me centered

Knitting helps me f eel centered. And believe me! Nowadays I need something that will keep me from flying off the planet!

My daughter is in her year of college, her second semester at University. I found out yesterday that she failed 2 classes last semester and is on probation. How did I find this out? By going through her drawers, looking for the bill she got last winter from the Motor Vehicle Commission, for her surcharge. She never paid it and now she is revoked.... yet again! I didn't find the bill.

So now I pull out my knitting nnedles and follow my pattern and become engrossed in the color and placement of the stitches. Knitting is contempletive. I do my best thinking either in my car, driving ,or while I'm knitting.

Now I have plan. It's time to push this bird a little further out of the nest. I'm not kicking her out, just giving her more freedom than she's had before.

I'm signing the car over to her. She's being removed from our auto insurance and getting her own policy. I'm giving her back her debit card. ( We had taken it because she continues to over draw her account. ) And, I'll no longer oopen her mail,.(In order to let her know what bills and important papers come in. ) From now on all mail will be forwarded to her at school.

And, in the future, when I have anxiety over her antics, I'll send up prayers and pull out the knitting.
