3 weeks Post Move

I feel bad that I haven't been around lately to blog.. with the move and work and just life in general.. things have been chaotic at best.. but otherwise very busy here..

The move itself went really well.. Quite a few friends showed up and were really great about helping me with the move. I am still so moved that they were able to help me with it.

I'm still trying to go through boxes and find places for things that I have.. I also have a long list of things that I want and need to get for the new place. I took care of a few items on it yesterday but I still feel like I have tons more to do. I still need to hook up the DVD player and VCR to my TV in the living room. Thank goodness for the TV in my room that came with a DVD player built in so that we can still watch movies and videos.

My job has been a source of stress lately. Our Medicare Part D Assistance Program for 2013 opened on March 1st and we got a huge influx of applications from patients needing assistance with paying for their Renvela prescriptions. The assistance also helps with their other medications too. New this year is that we are not requiring the patients to pay any Out of Pocket expenses to be qualified (Having access to drug is a huge thing this year for our company) so everyone and their brother is applying for assistance. I think it's finally slowing down though and hopefully by Tuesday we will be caught up to almost Real Time on the applications that are coming in.

One other big stressor is that the Anniversary of Lee's death and our Wedding Anniversary is coming up soon. The sermon at church today was on Grief and Living and I started crying just a few minutes in to it. Thankfully some friends were near by and moved to be next to me so I could cry it out and they held me close and made me feel better after I let myself cry. Hopefully Thursday (the actual day) will be ok.. I'll stop and get some flowers for everyone on my way to the cemetery. I also have a dental appointment that day so I'm taking the day off from work to deal with my feelings of grief.

If I feel anything like I did today it's going to be a doozy of a day and then 6 days later would have been our 14th Wedding Anniversary. I think I'll be able to go to work that day though and be somewhat normal.

The girls are adjusting well and so far seem to like where we live now. They have a playroom for all of their toys now and having it is a huge hit so far. I like that I can basically shut the door on the mess that it usually is and be ok with it since the mess isn't everywhere.

That seems like enough of an update for now. I think I might write more later since we've been so busy lately.
