Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen  

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I feel like I have a hangover. Must be a sleep hangover, because I finally got several hours in a row, except for a brief interlude in which I answered the phone, and the guy needed to leave a message for Daniel, and I was utterly incapable of finding my butt with both hands let alone my glasses or a pen. He offered to call back and leave a message on the machine, and that worked out.

There is much need for punctuation here today - all around - {{{{{{{{Bitches}}}}}}}}}} Sorry I gronk mightilly and am no more capable of a meara than I am of taking a message.

Buffistas are good for the soul - in case anyone ever doubted.

Today is my first day back at work and I'm having a worse time switching gears back into work mode than I did after my Spring Training vacation.

I'm still basking in the memories, or at least the ones I remember (hush).

What is even happening?

Does anyone here like real bats (cc: Jilli)? There are insects in the picture, because a bat's gotta eat. There are no *r*chnids, as as far as I can tell, anyhow. [link]

I'm usually very good about being an advocate in my own healthcare. But, today I totally froze. I am a candidate for Xolair, but chances are really good neither of my insurance companies will pay for it without a fight. And the doctor said I sounded pretty good today. And my breathing test was better than last time.

So, after all this, he wants me to stay on my current med regimen and see how I do for the next six weeks, then we'll decide if we should fight for the Xolair.

I have a difficult time communicating with this doctor, and I just didn't feel up to fighting or trying to explain my reasoning why I thought we should go ahead with fighting for the treatment.

Should I call the office and leave a message saying that after thinking about it more I think we should try to start fighting with insurance? Should I call and talk to my PCP and ask her advice? Or, should I wait the six weeks?
