Actually making some progress with the various things related to relocation.
Still very unhappy about how all of this has transpired, but it’s completely awesome that the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act has pushed everyone into “employer-sponsored” healthcare through some really bad companies.
For the past few years, I”d purchased insurance through the oh-so-wonderful Federal Exchange at healthcare.gov.
When I was first forced to do that in 2015, I purchased the most expensive plan from a major insurance that had been accepted by all of my doctors.
The first time I went to use the new insurance, none of the specialists accepted my new plan.
Didn’t you say we could keep our plans, and doctors, Mr. President?
Enough of that, though. Amazingly enough, my new insurer, and my old one use the same prescription provider, and are willing to migrate things over from the old insurer to the new one, even though I’ve not yet found new specialists.

That fun aside, I’m recycling a typical day prompt.
From 2011…
Yes. Day nine again. *sigh* This is what happens when you can’t type…..
So, my morning routine depends upon whether or not I’m in the office. If I’m in the office, this stuff happens about an hour earlier.
Wake up
Pee
Take pills, watch news
Shower/shave
Take injection
Ice injection site
Dress
Leave for work
Get to work
Work for about an hour on various stuff — mainly responding to E-Mail, etc.
Coffee
After that, really depends upon what’s going on. There’s a concept called “core hours,” where meetings are supposed to be conducted, etc. It’s from 0900-1500. Regardless of where I am, I need to be fully engaged during that time. The hours before and after that are really for me to do administrative stuff.
*yawn*
Is it time for coffee, yet?

In my current job, I work fully remotely.
I generally wake up sometime before 0600, as my wife is running off to her job.
Ideally, I’ll take my panoply of pills, drink two cups of coffee, and eat some breakfast.
Then shower, and drag myself to where I work.
I’m trying to miss the parts about taking injections.
Nope. Not working.
I’m adept at working remotely. I’m going to have to go in to an office some time soon to pick up a security jibble I’ll need to do some work.
And after I wrote that, I just ended up working until 1820 EDT.
Sofa King Done.
