Can't sleep. There's been thunder and lightning for about an hour now. Rain for probably six hours or so. Forecast says rain tomorrow and rain Friday. There's really nowhere left for all this water to go.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
It's not magic, but for my (mild) plantar fascitis I roll my foot back and forth over a golf ball, using it to massage the angry screaming muscles. And then sleep in one of those braces that holds yr foot in a flexed position for a few days while it calms down. Also, massage therapy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
There's a clip circulating that purports to be Dr Dre on the show Child's Play. It's not but I'm so happy to be reminded of that show. Do you guys remember? Contestants had to guess wtf kids were talking about. There was one kid, was his name Sascha Segan? He basically ruled at everything. If the category was 'world war I' most kids would be all, "there was 'splosions and it was scary!" and Sascha would start with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.

Ok, so my childhood BFF's sister just friended me on FB. But I had forgotten how pretentious they can be. Really...she's glad I friended her first cause "she has an aversion to technology, like my father," (I know her father. I get it.) Maybe she's just showboating for me cause I used to be one of the big girls? I guess I don't know what it's like...though I have many friends who are older than I am, they didn't know me when I got a marble up my nose.(If I had.)

Dear Kaiser:
Why are you making me see my primary care physician for a referral when I know what's wrong with me because I've had it before? You have 10 years of my records. Am I inclined to make things up? Admittedly, last year you thought I was making up the sinus infection that would not die, until after 9 months I was referred to an ENT who also didn't believe me until the test came back that it was MRSA. I think I'm rather owed the benefit of the doubt.
Just give me some damn cortisone.
No love, Me

There were three lonely pieces of bacon left so of course I had to cook them and now I have bacon and toast and grease fried eggs but I have no guilt because technically I was cleaning out the fridge.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Ginger, I share your stabby rage.
We are switching insurance June 1st. Our current insurance is Aetna. Despite paying our premium for May, Aetna dropped us on May 1st. It was an error on their part, but they can't reinstate it until Monday.
Try and follow all this:
I found out that on our new insurance, getting an IUD will be close to $1,000. Under Aetna, it's the cost of a co-pay. My IUD needs to be swapped out for a new one in August. Because I can do math, I made an appointment to have it done before the end of May, while we're still on Aetna.
I was supposed to have it done tomorrow.
Since Aetna says we aren't covered, my OB/GYN can't do it, because they have to actually order the Mirena from CVS Caremark. When they tried to do that, CVS Caremark said that I had no insurance. They can't just do it anyway, have me pay out of pocket, and get reimbursed from Aetna later (not that that's ideal, but it would get it done). It seriously has to go through my insurance. So I'm wondering what my OB/GYN does with patients who don't have insurance. I guess patients without insurance go to Planned Parenthood.
Anyway, once the insurance is reinstated -- and all that has to be done is that the damn computer records need to be changed -- then CVS Caremark will send the goddamn IUD to my OB/GYN, and I can get it done. And in theory, on Monday, all that red tape can be dealt with, and next Friday I can get it done.
But it's really fucking close to the end of the month, and if something goes wrong with all this and the IUD doesn't get sent to my OB/GYN by next Friday, I'm damn near out of time, because the following Monday is Memorial Day, and I assume everyone is closed then. The day after Memorial Day is May 31, so I could technically still do it then, but of course that would depend on whether my OB/GYN has an appointment available.
I'm just violently angry at everyone right now.

Smite to the insurance companies being evil! I'm sorry, Teppy and Ginger.
I'm visiting F again. She is on hospice care now. It's so difficult to see her this way.
