I thought I had finally found a plan that covers more dental procedures, but apparently that is an elusive, mythological beast.  Dentistry in this country is only for the privileged, not the vast majority of people who need it.  I’ve combed through almost every possible option I can find, to no avail.  The cons or disqualifiers  always outweigh the pros.  In many cases the small allowance offered is for dividing between dental, vision, hearing, or other conditions.  Do they realize how far one or two thousand dollars don’t go in our healthcare system?  It’s very frustrating, trying to stretch low income to cover basic necessities.  But I’ll keep on searching the labyrinth for that one-horned, endangered phantom.

In pleasanter news, I spent the night (not sleeping) so Avdi could get out.  E made great pizzas from scratch, as well as cookies.  They were in their HS show rehearsals for 8 hours today.  Avdi drove round-trip to pick up S from his mom visit.  I walked home to wrestle all day with health insurance sites until I couldn’t focus.  No wonder I lose sleep.  But at least it’s gorgeous and colorful out.  I aired out my apartment, if not my brain.
