Subject: RE: TAN # 84 - The TAN-somest Thread EverGood morrow, TAN.
Ran my first 5k since the hip breakage yesterday and it went...ok. Not great, but not terrible. Happy I did it. But I was flipping angry when I did it....apparently, our insurance company has decided to raise our premium rates 40% over last year. 40 flipping percent!!! So now husband's company is shopping around for better rates, but the whole thing just gives me fits because it means a lot of phone calls, a lot of adjustments in where I get my prescriptions, and more f*cking money that we don't bloody have. GAH.
(and before the "personal responsibility" brigade starts: we canceled our cable, we have to have internet because my husband is a web developer, we don't have a landline and share a cell phone plan, we have no credit card debt, we've both got student loans, we have one car and bike commute, I have 2 jobs and looking for a third, husband has a full time job and freelances....so we're trying, but a 40% increase in premiums for no additional benefit (actually, I think they're taking away some benefits, so we're paying more for less ) is just going to sink us ) |
