Tai Chi
I took my first Tai Chi class tonight. It was interesting, and I think it will be useful. DH asked if it was fun. I told him I don't think that's the right word, but interesting and useful will be good. The instructor is a minute Oriental woman, lithe as a cat and strong. The class of a dozen people came in all shapes and ages. Most of us were beginners. I received a flyer about Tai Chi in the park, being held once a month between now and the end of the year. Free, which is just my style. I think that will be fun. I would love to be one of those people who does Tai Chi in the park at lunchtime every day.
My MD prescribed the generic form of Wellbutrin, which requires prior authorization from my insurance company. The pharmacy has called twice to tell me the Rx is ready, but they have not yet received approval from insurance to dispense the drug. I can pay for it myself, but it's $80. If they don't get the prior authorization within a week after dispensing, they can't refund the money. I called the MD today to see if they had faxed in the documentation yet, and the woman on the phone didn't know anything about it. I asked her to call me back and let me know what was going on, but nobody did.
It's kind of frustrating.

Ann, get your husband to use his manly authoritative voice with these people at the doctor's office. I have no patience with sh** like that, and it depresses me too.
I've fantasized about doing Tai Chi in the park too, only there isn't a city park by us -- just a neighborhood park where you walk your dog or watch your kid play soccer. I hope you have lots of fun!!
I saw a martial arts class at the park on Sunday. It looked interesting. I conveyed your message to DW last night. She said thanks, but she's tried tai chi before and doesn't have the patience for it.
Call your insurance company to see what the hold-up is. Wellbutrin is good.
I was on Welbutrin and loved the stuff. I had no side effects other than losing about 8 pounds. I call that a side benefit! Now call the Dr.'s office and raise a stink. Sometimes you have to get on that broom and ride....
