frustration, say hello to my good friend depression...

 so, i had this feeling in the back of my head that my healthcare bullshit would only get more fucking crazy today. i was right. i believe what is going on is Anthem never cancelled my old policy that was supposed to expire on Dec. 31, 2021. that is why my new insurance, that is nearly $1,000 cheaper than my old policy, isn't showing up when it should be as it started Jan. 1, 2022. so, i had requested Anthem to call me between 3 and 3:30 today so i could get all this shit figured out. mind you, i also talked to Rite-Aid and asked them to transfer my prescriptions from Kroger to the Rite Aid in the town i live in. of course, that never happened. neither did the fucking call from Anthem. so, i went back to Kroger and got in line to get my fucking pills, mostly because i would run out of these starting tomorrow. i took a GoodRx card with me, hoping it would lower the prices. the lady asked me if i had insurance and i explained to her what was going on and told her i wanted to use the GoodRx card because i need these pills. she understood and put the card into the system. that brought the prices down from $75 to less than $35. that works for me. i paid for them and thanked the lady very much. i still need to figure out the chaos going on with Anthem, but at least i have one less fucking thing to be stressed out about. 

it was colder than fuck today. i believe the wind chill definitely got under 0 last night.

so, i was saddened to see that Sidney Poitier died today. one of my favorite humans to ever walk the face of the earth.

the New York Rangers lost at Vegas last night, 5-1. i should have known it was coming when their starting goalie got placed on the COVID list right before the start of the game.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

United States of Al was good last night.

B Positive was very good last night.

Vice News Tonight had two very strong episodes this week.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Chillin Island. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before noon when Dayton plays at George Washington in an empty arena. the dystopian nightmare begins again. joy.

i do believe we're finally going to take down the Christmas decorations this weekend. 

the scab finally came off on my middle finger today. i have a little hole on the right side of my middle finger. as much as i use that fucker in this world, i understand.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i think it is supposed to be a little warmer this weekend, but rainy. so yeah, i'll be pissy. what else is new?

until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.
