Last night's storms played havoc with my blood pressure, as I hate thunder and lightning, always have since I was a little girl. I was so stressed, it was probably 1am before I nodded off, and when hubby's alarm started beeping this morning, my eyelids were like lead and DID NOT want to open!
We'd had an hour and a quarter lie-in, but 6.45am was still only 5 hours sleep or so, for me. We both had early doctor appointments though, his being at 8am and mine at 9am, so the shower was calling my name, and it did feel so good once I was sat in there with the water running over me.
My doctor appointment went sooo well, my blood pressure was awesome 130/60, and my weight!!!! Ta-raaaa, another 4lbs gone in the past couple of weeks. She was sooo pleased with me, that's a total of 46lbs now! We discussed what I'm doing, we discussed my meds and me being able to cut them down as my weight goes down and my BP stays stable within a normal range, and it was just a really good appointment.
I no longer get an annual Pap Smear, apparently the ACA cut the requirements for my age group from annually to 3-5 years ... so that's all insurance will pay now. Not sure how that is better for my health/prevention, but it's just another way the ACA has affected things and our insurance.
I still rant about our deductible and have been round and round with the insurance company on it, but I know I will never win. It just annoys me that our deductible is SUPPOSEDLY $3000 per person, yet ours is $9000 for the 2 of us BECAUSE WE ARE CLASSED AS "A FAMILY". Yes, but we are still only 2 people. I know they get so aggravated with me when I ask them if they are using Common Core and to explain how 2 times $3000 somehow equals $9000.
Oh for the days before ACA when our deductible was only $900 a year.
Hubby took the whole day off since we had the appointments, and is going to take trash and recycleables to the dump/collection point, and also work on his motorbike.
Later this afternoon, I am going to be out delivering #AVONorders to a couple of my customers. I did give #AVONbrochures to my office ladies in the doctor's office, while I was there.
I'm just looking forward to enjoying my time with hubby today, and then tonight we have a pick up for our pork chops order from Zaycon between 6.30-7pm. We loved the chicken breasts we got from them, and I have an order of sausages coming the next time. I LOVE this service, and it saves us a lot of money on meats that we eat!
Have a lovely day, my friends. The weather is gorgeous here right now, cool but bright, just really comfortable. Enjoy!
