An idiot is someone who lets their education do all of the thinking
Good news: slept something like eight hours. Migraine seems to have passed off. Feel vaguely flensed and lightheaded.
Bad news: have spent entire afternoon calling doctors and wrangling insurance instead of working in preparation for travel to Providence.
News that is ultimately good but for God's sake: after two separate phone calls and a lot of time on hold, I found out what happened to those twice-submitted proof-of-eligibility documents that I was told this very afternoon were not on file and would need to be faxed in yet again, delaying our reinstatement by another four days at least. They were on file. Under my husband's name. Even though I am head of household as far as the state of Massachusetts is concerned and the person whose name is at the top of all the bills. Both sets were right there in the system, the original sheaf from May and the emergency fax from last Thursday, correctly timestamped and totally divorced from the relevant account, i.e., mine. I just got lucky with the second phone call and got someone who thought to check under my spouse's name as well as my own and has consequently referred the whole megillah to the verification office with extensive notes about how we should not be punished for institutional male chauvinism. (The emergency fax had a cover sheet headed with my name and identifying information, account number prominently included!) By Friday this mess should be starting to sort itself out and then I will be able to see doctors without going broke and afford the medications I need in order not to bleed internally. But this is stupid.

no subject
Thank you. I have to admit that I thought to check for all possible permutations of my name under which the documents could have been misfiled, but it did not seriously occur to me that I had just been assumed not to be in charge of our plan at all!
