I wanted to publish this just to let you know that I’m not always whining things are finally looking up around here.  The sea of red tape has parted (mostly) and we have been able to accomplish the following things:

* All 4 of us have family doctors/pediatricians who we will be seen by within a month or just over a month for “new patient visits”

* As I said on Friday, I was able to get into the Diabetes Centre in town and now have access to much needed prescriptions. Turns out America doesn’t want me to die after all!

* I am almost through the process of setting up two different mail-order services to send me insulin and insulin pump supplies (no more pharmacies!!!!).

* We were FINALLY able to get our money transferred from Canadian to American bank accounts (I NEVER want to do this EVER AGAIN) which means…

* We were able to pay our full deposit to our new landlords.  They have been EXCEEDINGLY patient. If I were them I would have rolled my eyes and said “Whatev, DEADBEATS. I’m so giving this place to someone who has actual money (not Canadian Dollars).”  

* We were able to get gas and electricity set up for our new place!  A minor miracle as the company’s website is designed to entrap potential customers in a loop of entering passwords, denial of account numbers and repeated accusations (You appear to be a terrorist. Please call our customer service line for help setting up your service.).

These things matter to NO ONE except me but it’s all to say that things are looking up over here.  And I haven’t had to talk to our health insurance company in TWO WHOLE DAYS!!! WOOOHOOO!

Also? It is just three weeks until we move to our new condo which is on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean! WE. ARE. SO. EXCITED. By the time we move in it will have been three months of temporary living quarters and I can’t wait to settle back in to my own home.
