modern living.

for the first time in 5 years, we now have health insurance. this is very weird. and expensive.

also, for the first time ever, i have to administer my own insurance. this means apparently calling numbers and tracking down things like prescription drug coverage, and pointing out to people that 10/10 and 10/01 are two different dates.

i have the feeling i will spend the next week or so in a state of mild confusion. although looking at the so-called health insurance industry, if i only spend a week in a state of mild confusion, i'll have gotten off lightly.
