The Laptop Saga Continues...

Well, we've resolved the laptop issues... partially! The laptop will need to be sent away this weekend for about a 2 week vacation back to HP. The good news is that HP is being AWESOME in their customer service. The bad news is that I'll be without the laptop (and my pictures) again! So, in the meantime, I am going to do a huge dump of all that's been going on here in the last 2 months before I can't share my pictures with you for another long period of time!

I'm getting the shakes here....

I am officially in withdrawl.

I can't use my laptop. The battery has died. Well, plug it into the wall, you say? I'd love to, but I can't. Being the brilliant, put-together person that I am, I left my laptop power cord at the Boston BlogHer conference that I attended this weekend! Yeah... I'm so smart like that. I guess I was in a little bit of a rush to get to get out of the final session and over to the cocktail hour.

Not only am I relegated to this uber-slow piece of antiquated machinery known as my desktop, but I also can't upload any of my pictures. That stinks! So, no Wordless Wednesday post for me today. I'm still working with the hotel to see if they can find it for me, but if not, I'm going to have to go get my "fix" and buy a new cord ASAP.

Technical Difficulties...

My laptop is giving me some major issues the last few days. It can't detect our wireless network. And, I've got no time to try to troubleshoot the issue. Quite frankly, I'm also a little low on patience right now too, so am lacking the motivation to troubleshoot. I am now relegated to the office to use the desktop, and that is no happy feat. It is dreadfully slow and I miss being able to prop up in front of the TV and multitask writing and reading blogs while enjoying my mindless reality shows. I remember when using the desktop made me blissfully happy.... ahhh, life before the laptop totally spoiled me! Ok, maybe I'll be motivated to fix it tomorrow.

Hey Aetna.... You Stink!

Hey Insurance-Giant Aetna....

Guess what?!?!? YOU STINK!

Given that we've been on our new Aetna policy for a whopping 17 days now, this was NOT the way I was expecting our new relationship to go, you know what I mean?

Now, I want you to take a look at something.... See this child, right here ???

She's a cutie, huh? Yeah, I think so too. Look, she's got reflux, ok? I know the GI doc has sent you all of her medical records, so we cant really dispute this fact, now can we? And, we've been treating the reflux really well for the last several months with Prilosec which, by the way, Blue Cross never had an issue paying for. Now, we are at a little bit of a crossroads right now trying to figure out some dosing issues to manage her reflux the most effectively. And, at this exact moment is when you are going to tell me that you wont pay for the Prilosec that has been really effective at treating her for the last 8 months??? Um, I'm sorry, but I really can't accept that as an answer. Yes, you tell me that the Prevacid is a comparable option and you will pay for that. But, if you see the above picture again, is it really fair to ask this little cutie's body to try to figure out what is going on with her coughing and congestion and her medication dosing levels, while at the same time switiching her meds altogether to something that's cheaper for you? I DONT THINK SO. If you cant tell, I am angry and you can expect a call about this from me.

GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR........
