Wednesday, June 27, 2007 12:55 PM   "Patience" is a word in the dictionary, but it is not one of my favorites nor is it something that is easy for me to follow.  Today I find myself "pacing" back-and-forth waiting on a phone call that I know is going to come, but as to exactly when it will come, I do not know.  This is where the patience enters the picture. A social worker is trying to wade through all the governmental and bureaucratic red tape that is involved when it comes to selecting a prescription drug plan.  Since the Sierra Prescription Drug Plan will no longer cover all of my medications, it looks as though I am going to have to find another plan that will. The more time that passes is equaled by the amount of patience that I am losing.  Since I did not have all that much patience to begin with, I have very little left.  The longer I wait the more hair I want to pull out, and believe me there is not that much to begin with.  If this drags out much longer, I am going to be bald in no time! I am probably somewhat grumpier today than usual, primarily because I did not get as much sleep last night as I would have liked.  Sleep has been evading me for a couple of weeks, and I am beginning to feel as if I am an owl!  Hoot!  Hoot!  Hoot! My right foot is feeling better today, although I am still having some pain from it.  I am not wearing the orthopedic shoe that I got from the doctor's office.  The fastener on the shoe closed right on top of the foot where the pain was located.  So today, I am slowly moving around the apartment while trying not to slam into another wall and injuring my foot all over again!
