Happy Birthday Stephanieeeeeee

Thanks love. I had to call my mom to find out what to do.

Of course you did, you have a freakishly healthy baby -- this is all brand new. If it were anything serious you'd have just known and been out the door to the ER. She'll be better soon.

I don't have so much of a problem with complete strangers--it's acquaintences I have issues nursing in front of. People I only sort of know but will have to face again someday after I've flashed them my boob.

And they don't even throw beads at you.

I managed to slice the top of one of my fingers very deeply this morning on the sharp inside edge of the metal cabinet in the English office.

It's considered good luck for a seamstress to bleed on a costume. I'm not sure about English teachers and cabinets.

Lilty, if you would be happy living at home go for it. Its not looerish to crash with family for six months between things. Hell, if you had a big enough place and a pleasant sibling or cousin in a similar transitional fix you'd likely be delighted with the idea and not think them a failure at all.

And I'm sorry you'll be missing Sam.

Congratulations, KB!

{{Teppy}} headache healing ma. I don't get migraines, but I know the stabby feeling yo speak of and it should absolutely not last for days.

My friend's hives are gone, so I guess the vitamin D thing is not so urgent, but if anyone knows anything about it, I'm really curious. What she's told me seems to make very little sense.

Shit. Just got interesting news. Don't feel like sharing it yet. But, shit.

Must pull myself together so I can work.

Insurance FUCKERS.

Basically, my insurance comany didn't process a claim from 11/04 and I had a collection agency call me this morning. The guy was less than polite. So I call the hopital and they have billed AmeriHealth THREE FUCKING TIMES and no response.

The hospital is faxing the claim and if it's not paid in a very very timely manner, someone's gonne get thumped but hard.

Brought to you bu the same company thay denied my claim for the epidural.

Sorry about the headache, Tep, babe. I've got twinges in my own neck...maybe sharing a brain is catching up with us.

A pox on AmeriHealth. They sound pretty evil.

That reminds me, I need to submit my claim for going to the emergency room. Apparently, if you get admitted to the hospital straight from the ER, the ER never gets your insurance info from the hospital and just bills you. And the ER doesn't take your unsurance info until after you've been treated, I guess to ensure that teh uninsured get just as good treatment as the insured or something. Which I can see, but, inconvenient for me.

Here are some intense and loving Harvey-snuggles-and-purrs for all and sundry. His bony back legs are parked on my right elbow, and his chin is on my left hand AS I TYPE.

No need to go to a gym, I'll just keep this up a while.

I'm pretty sure Ambush Makeover exists for unemployed people to feel attractive. They have a real knack for making young women look old by over-doing them and taking big scruffy beards off double chins (just tidy it up, geniuses). They just made a soon to be bride cry by chopping her hair too short for an up-do (they say its not too short, but it's going to be a pretty wimpy updo).
