Huh. Nine hours (plus the six weeks since I have been hired) ((oh, and the three+ months it took to get hired)) and I *think* I have accomplished health insurance.
Woo Hoo!!! How are you feeling? How is your back?
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

I was actually just reading an article in the New Yorker (*) about health insurance in America, and it made me so angry I had to put it away for a little while.
(*Oh! And one of the Talk of the Town bits was about dictionaries and consulted erinaceous!)

Exhausted. It was good I could vaguely do other things while spending most of the day on the phone cajoling people to make this finally work for me. I would have been way more frustrated if I hadn't been getting paid concurrently.
Snuck out in the middle of a client meeting to take 800 mg ibuprofin and eat a pixie stick though. The back, she is spasming, tingling and aching right now. Though I did wake up and feel good this morning for about five seconds before I moved. And that is progress.
As is the fact that I need to make up the three hours I will miss from work tomorrow and I already have an hour down. Every minute is a minute that I can count towards it.
Tonight, the bathtub. Tomorrow, the doctor. Friday, the world. What will I whine about then?

Thanks, sj!
about health insurance in America, and it made me so angry I had to put it away for a little while.I so get this right now. There is just not a word that implies how frustrating it is to try to navigate, especially when you actually need to use it.
Thanks for the link!

Don't ASK that! Something bad will FIND you!

Go Cass with the conquering and whatnot! Hope it's easy from here on out and the pain succumbs to medication like it's supposed to.
Eye~ma to askye's mom. Eep!
I just found out my grandmother was in the hospital this week - she's home now and feeling okay. My mother needs to get in the habit of starting these stories with "she's fine".

They can put buckles in your eye? I'm having trouble visualizing this. But best of luck with the fixing thereof in any case!
