Monday December 29 check in

Hey everyone — happy Monday, back to the grind. At least it’s a short week with New Year’s Eve on Wednesday and New Year’s Day on Thursday.

Quick win: the fraud investigation for unauthorized charges on my debit card wrapped up way faster than expected. They said 45–90 days, but already confirmed it was fraud and refunded the full $400. Huge relief.

On the frustrating side, I’ve been waiting on a prior authorization for a very important medication and it was denied. When I read the letter, I realized the office submitted it under the wrong diagnosis — one that doesn’t even cover the med. This actually happened a couple months ago too. I don’t love having to be that person, but I messaged them to fix it so at least we get a clear treatment path if it’s denied again.

I’ve been looking for a new provider, it’s a dermatologist, but everyone’s booked out months, so I’m making the best of it for now. Just a lot of issues with treatment where I think maybe a second opinion might be useful. Add in pouring rain and all the snow melting away — gloomy Monday vibes.

Anyway, that’s my day. What’s everyone up to today? How’s your Monday going?
