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.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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

Now I want to second guess my medical. Can I really live with not making my own in-network referrals?
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.

I've had help, but I'm gambling with future diagnoses, specialists, and treatments. I'd need a soothsayer.

Hmm... Jewel tone chenille would be exactly right. But dust mites? I think that's a bad idea.

Well, if you can find soft cushions that won't house them, give me a holler. I'm going to miss having cushions stacked around something terrible.

Eye opening, bathing, diapers? Good baby day.
