geminigirlHealth insurance termination forms. And co-payments are going to double. I'm not happy about it. I'm not a big fan of my health insurance at the moment, but grateful that I have it at all, and glad it's only going to be a few more months.
Neither Cayne nor I felt good this weekend, so we skipped the party on Saturday night and stayed in and watched Reagan coverage, and cuddled and stuff. I think I enjoyed it more than I might have the party-I just wasn't in the mood to be social. I was a grouch all weekend too.
Reagan...In my eyes growing up, he was a bad guy, even if I didn't always know why. Cayne said that a lot of the media coverage left him with the impression that he was loved and worshiped. Regardless...I work in an industry that was probably largely created by his inaction in the early years of HIV, among other things. I disagreed with, oh, just about everything his administration did. Nonetheless, I don't feel like he should be villified at this moment...give his family and friends, those who cared for him time to grieve. It's the polite and humane way to do things. Rip him to shreds later.
Mostly uneventful trip home; I think the fact that I needed a nap about halfway home helped. Pulled into the rest stop, and crashed out for about half an hour, until the phone rang. I'm not sure I'd have made it home safely without that stop.
Spent Monday at home, still not quite feeling well. Still queasy today. Also very sore and achey. Neck and shoulders in serious pain. If I'd thought of it, I'd have taken something stronger than Tyelenol this morning.
Programs are really winding down here. It's hard to stay motivated when I see the end so close at hand. That and the fact that I don't remember long distance relationships hurting this much, anyway.

Date: 2004-06-08 04:00 pm (UTC)Regarding Reagan, I would suspect that the negativity is often a response to the appearance of excessive veneration in some of the speeches and articles. I know I get really irritated whenever I read something about how fantastic he was, without any suggestion that he ever did a single thing wrong! I think it ought to be possible to celebrate his life in a positive manner without giving the impression that he was a saint.
