Work is Exhausting!

I am absolutely worn out.

I didn't have to be in to work until 10:30 this morning, which was really nice (thanks again for getting up with me this morning, Honey!) but I was there til seven.

I also taught for the last three hours this evening - 2, 3, then 2 kids.

Holy crow, I'd forgotten how draining that is.

I didn't even think about it, but other than these couple of sessions with TrigGuy (and those don't count, because he's a grownup) I've not done any teaching in more than seven years.

I'm a little out of shape, in terms of my endurance, and was scrambling to follow exactly what I was supposed to be doing with each kid and really struggling to juggle two - or worse - three of them at a time but, as far as the actually teaching them stuff goes, I think I've still got it.

I spent a lot of time earlier today learning how to update the students' lesson plans - looking at what they just covered and how they did on it and figuring out what's next. Tomorrow, I'll have to do that for the kids I had tonight.

The teachers are supposed to do that before they leave for the evening, but

  1. I will be there in the daytime tomorrow so I can do it then
  2. I'd prefer that ED2 watch over my shoulder, because I'm still very unsure about it, and
  3. I was just fried by 7 pm, there's no way I could've done it tonight!
Oh - But I did get more insurance information, and a confirmation that I'll find out for sure on Friday whether they will make May 1 my effective date.

(It turns out they are changing policies, and that's the start date for everyone with the new company, so that would make sense to me!)

The plan isn't exactly the one I was checking last night, but I'll look again for my doctors.

Important points:
  • No deductible
  • $20 copay PCP/gyn ($30 for specialist, Out of network is 20%)
  • $1000 yearly out of pocket max (not counting copays
  • Infertility - 50% coinsurance, with diagnosis of infertility
I guess we'll have to find out exactly what that means, but I sure hope that our situation qualifies for coverage!

I also think I've confirmed that my PCP and my OB/Gyn are in network. Yay!

In the meantime, I'm plenty glad that I don't have to go in til 11:30 tomorrow morning, because (did I mention?) I'm ex-fucking-hausted.

  1. Exhausted, yet you still have time to blog? Good to know you know where your priorities are!

    Insurance May 1 would be great! That's next week!


    -> It was mainly your e-mail stuff that blogger was f-ing up on- don't worry, I prefer to stalk you here. :)

  2. Yep, I got home around 8:30, completely wiped out, but still waited up til 1:30 for Shrike to come home.

    What the hell?

    But, I don't have to be in til 11:30 today or tomorrow, so that's very nice.

    Of course, we don't finish til 8, then I'll have to do some "wrapping up" and an hour drive, so won't be home til close to 10.

    But I so much prefer late nights to early mornings!

    That's odd about Blogger; I think I got the email notices for all your comments. Or, maybe there are some I don't know about? I'll poke around and see.
