"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Back at work after an incredibly stressful two days. My head still hurts and not in a good way.

Because my mom is here and we don't have an extra car anymore, it's a little complicated. I rode my bike to school (which I really should do every day. Really.) schlepping my laptop and everything else. I'm spending the day in the library which is good and bad.

I'm just really exhausted and run down and October STILL isn't over. It used to be that August was a bad month for me. Then September was for years. Now it seems to be October.

I have to go to the hospital for my TB test tomorrow (yay!) and my flu shot (yay?). All good times.

“Not dead yet!”

Happy Birthdays Calli and Burrell!

tommy, hope your kitty shows back up soon.

And msbelle, I don't know how you do it, but I admire the hell out of the fact that you haven't wound up in a clock tower somewhere. Much strength and ~ma for getting through the day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Happy Birthdays.

Quick return of the cat thoughts.

Get through the day hopes for all.

My boss is out all week. I have done mostly nothing thus far, but would like to take advantage of the quiet and get through some stuff. Just not sure that today is the day that much will get done. Kinda want to take a day off brain activity and contact with others. I've been trying to think of errands I could run, but am coming up blank. I think I can work out something for tomorrow that I can do at my desk that will be productive, but I didn't think things through this morning before leaving home.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Where you been, Allyson??

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm confused:

Some of the bills advancing in the House and Senate would exempt religious objectors from mandates to obtain health coverage. More controversial is Christian Science's wish to see its prayer-based healing approach covered like conventional medical treatment. And they want spiritual options to be available to all Americans, not just those who follow their religion.

Leaving aside the issue of whether "spiritual options" even work AND the problematic church/state issues...isn't prayer already free? I'm unclear on how it could be "covered" by health insurance in the first place, unless it's just a case of paying clergy with Medicare funds (in which case, um, no). Charging someone to pray for their health seems pretty scammy to me, but maybe I'm just missing something.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, Calli and Burrell!

tommy, I hope your kitty comes home today.

Jessica, I'm confused, too. I don't even come close to understanding that argument.

If prayer isn't free I have over three decades of back pay coming to me.
