progress so far

today i've:

• showered
  
• checked the mail for the insurance check (no dice)
  
• made an appointment with the Pacifica Resource Center for Wednesday
  
• left my info with San Mateo County mental health services; they should be calling back by 5pm to do a phone screen to see if i qualify for any no- or low-cost mental health programs.
  
• called united healthcare. after being told by the last four representatives i spoke to that they had, in fact, received my therapist's W-9 (which she has faxed to them twice), the one i spoke to today claims they don't have it anywhere in my records. he will supposedly have his supervisor call me back. meanwhile, i'm going to fax them yet another copy of the fucking thing. of course, they tell me it will take 7-10 days to get that information into their system. and THEN another 15 days minimum to process the claim. so the new ETA on the check is, what, 25 more days?
  
  and i'm off all my meds.
  
  oh, i think they're going to LOVE this conversation. just absolutely LOVE it.
  

bonus observation: mouth breathers shouldn't be allowed to use phone headsets.
