  & conversation with N
  & TGl concert up on the web. 

Not a very good day, on the whole; see post. I did get a walk in, had a good conversation with pocketnaomi, and got a first cut at Tempered Glass's Baycon concert up on the web.

Colleen was in a lot of pain from arthritis, so we didn't get to the Greek Festival, either.

I think my main source of pain right now is the FSA receipts, which have to be in today in order to not lose what's left of my balance from 2008. Ugh. And I really need to decide whether to go to my 40th college reunion. Probably not, at the rate things are going: it's in less than three weeks, and I don't think I can safely leave Colleen for a weekend. Plus the amount of vacation I've burned through so far this year. Something of a relief, actually.

I too am doing the reciepts for MSP.

It's good to know I'm not the only one in that handbasket.

...and I have to find a place that's open so I can fax all those pages. I expect you have fewer pages than I will, as most of mine are for meds, at $5 or $30 A POP. You have surgery expenses at higher rates, I think. I will have fewer than 20 pages to fill out, but then there's pasting all those receipts on a page and labelling properly.

Feh. I prefer this year's method by Aetna at least, in dealing with copays. They pay them up front--no copays to mind the receipts for.

Oddly enough, the surgery is free with Kaiser, though there have been a couple of ER visits at $50/pop. Aetna is terrible at interfacing with Kaiser; I may be better off paying cash and faxing in my receipts, since I end up having to do it anyway. That's one of the things I've been avoiding.

The receipt that's missing, naturally, is the one for a $300 transport chair that I put on the WageWorks card. :(

At least I recently bought an all-in-one printer/scanner that can fax.

I am done, but after:
trips to three different fax machines, one of them twice, as one page was left behind somehow
faxes at 1.50 a page (32 pp. faxed)
and too much hurry up and wait
8 solid hours of work before Kurt could sign 21 pages

bleah. Our ability to fax and scan here is problematic. No time to buy a new one, though, after Friday's news, eh?

Fry's often has Epson all-in-ones for cheap. The refurbs and closeouts are especially good deals, though I found a new one for $150 or so.

And of course you could have gone in to Ricoh and done it there. That's what I used to do.

[saffronrose.livejournal.com]

I *could* have gone to Ricoh, but only at the cost of dragging Kurt along with his keys.It certainly would have been easier and cheaper.

and in your case, you didn't leave your receipts in the bag you tossed--like your boss, who has only pills at the highest tier. I don't think we're going to get to $3000 this year, even though I know we had more than that in OOP expenses. Neither therapist gives receipts, to make matters hairier.

Handbaskets

Yeah, I'm there too. I feel ya. <--- still broke.

Scanner/Copier/Printer $45 @ Fry's. Lexmark.
