Hurdles look like insurance forms

OK, the waiting game continues... My CAT scan for tomorrow (which is required by my cancer surgeon before surgery can be performed) has been canceled because the facility has yet received the required pre-authorization. My next call today was to the cancer institute who assures me the paperwork was sent last week and they (too) are awaiting Cigna's response. So third call today was to Cigna to see what the hold up is. It seems Cigna is closed today. Since they will not be open until 9am tomorrow, my 8:30am CAT scan is not going to happen on Tuesday. Just in case fighting cancer is not stressful enough, the insurance companies make sure to add to the load. ARGH. Thank you to all who have supported me, whether by donating time, meals, rides, shoulders or money. Today is a wash and so I will go back to my art room (or take a nap) and regroup for tomorrow's round of phone calls. Also, if you feel called to share the links below, I would appreciate it. Best wishes to all!

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
