Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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!)
Here's the dictionary thing: [link]
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?
Best of luck with the doctor tomorrow. Much back~ma.
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!
“It’s interesting for us that we can see their methodology,” erinacious said. “Or lack thereof. It’s like tagging and releasing giant turtles.”Heh!
What will I whine about then?
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".
Much ~ma to Askye's Mom.
They can put buckles in your eye? I'm having trouble visualizing this. But best of luck with the fixing thereof in any case!
They can put buckles in your eye. Although what they did to Mom was out of date when they did it.
I'm not sure how it works, but it holds the retina together. And it's started to come part, she's had chronic eye pain for the last two years and finally found out a few weeks ago what was going on. Her ex eye doctor was a complete ass. She's been in serious pain with her eye almost swollen shut and he did almost nothing. Kept telling her to take Tylenol for the pain. Which, she found out, does nothing for the pain she has.
Also last year she kept feeling something in her eye, and he looked and said that it was a bit of plastic, some "Trash" that must have gotten in her eye and had to be removed before it scratched her cornea. Her current doctor said that the "Trash" was probably a piece of the buckle coming off.
