I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kat--you ready for company in about 30 minutes? Because I am SO THERE, baby.

Yep! And I'm upright and on the couch even so not having to receive while I'm in bed. How's that for fancy?

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

Looks tonguey to me, Kat. But also sparkly and in pretty colours.

Hmmph. I don't get to see Kat until tomorrow.

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

I don't get to see her until Wednesday.

I have to wait until MONDAY.

Devi is being freaked out by an eraser. Walnut.brain.

I have my lists for the weekend, I ran some errands tonight. Not going to do anything more for now.

Umph. My brother just texted me the saddest thing. Brain tumor conferences? Can be depressing. Surprise.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't get to see Kat at all. Pout.

BUT! I get to see Lee in 2 hours! Whee!!!

YAY! That means that I get to leave in about 20 minutes, go to the doctor, then get on the freeway and not move for an hour or so!

I'm waiting for the muscle relaxants to kick and wondering if getting up to put on the Lidocaine patch is worth...getting up.

Neck's not killing-killing me, or anything. Otherwise I'd have put it on already. Just wondering what measures I should take before my massage tomorrow afternoon. I bless whatever brought a cool and funny massage therapist into krav (okay, it was probably her obsessive boyfriend--do I bless him, or whatever brought him in?) who's willing to slot me in at fairly short notice.

Exercise today (all I've accomplished, really) loosened it up some, but not enough.

I just have to shake a fist at UCLA Medical billing. They sent me bills for ~$700 for some stuff. Now, with a bill that big, I wait for insurance to have a crack at it, since I shouldn't be getting bills that large. So I wait, and I wait, and then I finally decide to look up the EOBs myself, and they make no sense. Over a month ago I called UCLA Medical billing to say "Hey? No sense!" at which point they transferred the bill from one department to another. I checked up on them a couple weeks ago, and they told me to hold off on any action.

Yesterday I get a "Will proceed to collections toute suite" bill. For $12. Because apparently I should have paid that off when I first got the bill for $700. The rest of the amount has gone away, which is quite nice. And the lady when I called made it seem like it wouldn't be quite that immediate them repossessing my car or anything.

Makes me wonder if I should 2xcheck every bill, not just the big ones.

There are so many ways insurance billing can be fucked up, I'd say yes. Might buy a tank or eight of gas every year?

That said, I've gotten bill-like things that I couldn't tell if they were bills or not, and erred on the side of ignoring them. No one has come after me yet....

I wish you were feeling better.
