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

No, sara, Israel was the week before. Last week was random African country. Kooky tribespeople and deeper meaning and all that.

FUCK. My shoulder muscles are massively and visibly tense. First masseuse appointment is sadly Thursday. And I have to be all the way in Santa Monica for an 8am meeting tomorrow.

Okay, it sure beats Calabasas.

Signed up for health bennies today. Well, some. Undecided on Dental still (two good plans, one almost no out of pocket to me, if I can live with limited choice--I just might). Now I want to second guess my medical. Can I really live with not making my own in-network referrals?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Okay, it sure beats Calabasas.

I first read that as Casablanca and was about to get cross as I love that movie beyond reason. I got to see it at the Sanger in New Orleans a few years back.

Yvonne: Where were you last night?
Rick: That's so long ago I don't remember
Yvonne: Will I see you tonight
Rick: I never make plans that far ahead.

Yay health benefits! One of the reasons I would have to think long and hard about leaving my current job.

YES IT DOES. Though I have now arranged my life to be in Calabasas once a week for the foreseeable future.

Grace got her first bath today and K changed her diaper for the first time. These feel like accomplishments. Her nurse today was excellent and is one of my favorites.

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

It took me so long to wrap my head around my last benefits, and I was used to where they hit me. This is all new and weird and I can't help but fear I'm doing it wrong.

You can live with it, of course. But your med stuff is complex and choice seems to work for you so I'd go with choice.

Also, I may have to pick your brain, ita, for places for pillows and for help setting up a Tivo (Thanks Sara!!) with Time Warner cable.

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

Kat-- you want company tomorrow for tea or dinner or whatever?

Is there someone in HR who can help you?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My sewing maching is running backwards. I know there's a thing that reverses. I just have no idea where it is or how I triggered it. Anyone know where I might find such an animal on a vintage Necchi?

Could be what -t said or could be something on the hand wheel that toggles. I don't know that particular machine.

Problem with my med stuff is that it's complex and expensive. I'm already taking a salary hit--the tradeoff for commute is sure sweet, but I'm worried about sticker shock when the deductions hit. I'd budgeted in all my stupid med stuff already.

As for pillows, I got most of mine at Costco. If you're looking for jewel tone chenille, you can have mine. Not that avoiding a dust mite problem is exactly how I'd pitch to a mother of twin preemies, but I can't lie to you.

Time Warner makes me miss Adelphia.

As for TiVo, just shoot.

Sure, Robin. Are you feeling better?
