Day 91

Today started out kind of icky...I woke up to the sound of rain absolutely pounding on the roof.  Luckily, it had mostly cleared up by the time the kids had to leave.  Of course it started again while we were at the bus stop, but we all had umbrellas (and for once, the bus came *before* 8:00).

I attempted to get some constructive things done today.  I tried to make an appointment for Taryn to go in and get her physical for camp.  Unfortunately, the first available appointment they had was June 23rd - and Taryn's going to camp the 13th-18th and the 20th-25th.  So, I asked if I could switch her to my PCM off base.  The clinic said that was fine...that all I had to do was call Tricare and tell them I wanted to switch the PCM.  So, I did.  The Tricare lady looked up Taryn's info, then informed me that it's mandatory for Taryn to be seen on base and that I'd need a waiver to change her PCM.  So, I called the clinic back, and they gave me the name and number of the person to call about the waiver - and her voicemail informs me she's out of the office until Friday.  I think that in the meantime, I'm going to call Tricare back and ask why they would make it mandatory for my daughter to be seen on base (especially since the PCM they assigned me is off base).

On a better note, I got to talk to my husband today.  He called, and then he went back to his tent and we got to talk online for a little while.  They finally got their wifi this past weekend, but it's still kind of hit or miss because communications get shut down so often.  It's all good...I'll take what I can get.

Last but not least, it's Wednesday....

The loose ends are now as long as the rest of the chain, so it's time for me to come up with a new plan of attack for them. 

Look for me on day 92...I'll be the one writing the goofy blog!
