A New Cool

So, how good is Lexapro?

This is how good it is.

I just paid most of my outstanding bills:

- Mortgage
- Gas & electric
- Phone
- Garbage collection
- Car insurance

And today when I got home from work, I found in my mailbox a bill for $1,000 to Hoity Toity Medical Group. $100 of that has been hanging around forever, but the $900 was for the CT scan of my mighty brain.

Normally, it would have me shrieking and crying and running to my bed to cover up my head.

But no. I looked at it. Thought a distant, wow, that's expensive. And then I put it in my purse, thinking, hm, guess I better call them tomorrow.

Part of it's the Lexapro.

Most of it is having this happen so many times over the past nine months that it barely rattles a window and hardly shakes the foundations of Ma Maisonette as it would have a year ago.

Stand in line, I think to HTMG. You'll get your chance. Everybody will. Even if it's just $50 at a time, you'll get it.

In the meantime, it's not worth hysteria or tears. Just a resigned shrug, a quick raise of the eyebrows, and into the purse it goes, so I can call HTMG at lunchtime tomorrow.

Ho hum.

Three cheers for Lexapro. Your last few posts have sounded contented. Like one of your cats had dictated them. Contented. One of my favorite words.

BTW - I keep resubscribing through Bloglines, and I still haven't got an alert since September 6. (Hey, other readers, are any of you getting Bloglines alerts?) I'm getting the red exclamation point that says "error".

Just started showing up in GReader today, which makes me happy.

There's a lot to be said for contentment. It cuts down on the drama, for sure, but that's only bad in a book or movie.
