The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita, I'm watching Mile High. So far, some of the people are pretty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Look, I never said it was good. But I watched two eps back to back and suddenly needed to know what happens with Marco, Leanne, and the tall skinnyish straight guy. Like, a lot. And it's only gotten worse.

Want irony? Opening the ER "THIS IS NOT A BILL" statement and seeing that the visit cost someone (perhaps me, time will tell, at least in part) $2400 made my head hurt. It's been 20 minutes -- it's just now calming down.

Those Not!Bills are never a good thing. They just make you stress worrying about how much of it you'll have to pay.

Can you imagine if the logs could read your state of mind too?

Christian Bale would have gotten a restraining order against me years ago.

Assuming, of course, that they didn't run out of them before making it through all the ranks of Baleheads that joined before me.

I'm only five minutes in. No need to get defensive quite yet.

That sucks, on the not!bill.

I can be defensive any time I want to, okay?

Man, if I ever had any cred, Mile High's going to sink it.

I *still* don't know if a thing for $550 for a last minute trip to a friend's ENT-cousin for an ear infection years ago (the one that loaded me up on steroid samples and threatened in-office ear tubes) was a bill or a statement. No bill collectors have come calling, so....

I need a new place to live. I'm about two minutes from calling 911 again.

I don't like the humans.

oh lord, sarameg. What's going on with the neighbors?

Oh! SoCal knitters and crocheters, have a look at Knit For The Cure -- they're asking for work done with some pink to be donated for resale, profits going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Unsurprisingly, I knew this! I have a small pile of things that are being donated.

Humans live most places, though, sarameg, that would be convenient to your job.

What's happening?

I have one crocheted pink thing, made from some crinkly variegated almost-velour you gave me, Kat. I looked to see if Wildfiber had any like that (I need a black/grey scarf) and couldn't find any. I ended up with some wonderful-feeling merino-mix, but it's a bitch to see stitches in, so I'm confined to simple double crochet. Pfft.
