billroperI have managed to get all of the critical items set up and configured on Gretchen's newly Linux Minty fresh laptop, so that's one thing done.
The thing that I failed to accomplish today is getting an appointment at our local Social Security office. This is important, because it appears that even if I sign up for COBRA, they will not pay anything, because they want us to have Medicare, which we do not yet have, because we have never needed it, because we had employment-based health insurance.
This might actually be illegal, but one of the things that I am sure of in life is that Larry Ellison has bigger lawyers than I can afford to engage.
We are driving down to pick up K from school tomorrow. While I am driving, Gretchen will get on the phone and see if she can get an appointment so that we can provide the appropriate documentation to go along with our application.
Whee.
