Bright side of a localized allergic reaction - now I have an excuse for not doing shit today. Taking ibuprofen, too, and resting and elevating.

What's going on with your water sitch?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Haven't heard from Ray today. Guess I'm screwed until Monday. My guest gets here Tuesday. Looks I might be staying in the Marigny some this weekend.

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

I have a cold from hell, too, Teppy. Gotta hate a summer cold. Only one thing planned this weekend. luckily--going to the movies, which is a fine, restful activity.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have a cold from hell, too, Teppy. Gotta hate a summer cold. Only one thing planned this weekend. luckily--going to the movies, which is a fine, restful activity.

I did All The Dishes (basically, all the dishes from Sunday through this morning), and I balanced all my bank accounts (and remembered to pay the Visa bill), re-ordered checks, and have 1 load of laundry drying on the clothesline, 1 load in the dryer, and 1 load in the washer. Also ran the neti pot through my sinuses twice.

And that is IT. I am knackered.

Oh! And I keep getting an invoice from CVS Caremark for the IUD (of The IUD Saga From Hell)...for $0.00. Finally I called today to find out why they're wasting paper on me, and the woman said that it was because the claim was still out to Aetna, but she looked it up and apparently they recently paid, and I owe nothing.

So the upside to the IUD Saga From Hell is that I ended up paying a grand total of $40 for everything (office visit, IUD itself, everything), compared to what might have been literally $1,000 with our new insurance.

So the IUD Saga From Hell was worth it (in the most literal way possible), but I *still* twitch when I think about it.

And our new insurance is SO bad, I can't even tell you. I don't even want to get into it. I dread what I have to deal with if this cold turns into something that needs more than OTC treatment.

Tim is *entirely* too hotass for almost-45. I am a lucky dame.

He was measuring his waist last night for a mermaid tail (seriously, don't ask; it's a combination of Mad Scientist, jackassery, marginal kink, and Because He Can), and started complaining because his waist has gone up an inch...to 33 inches.

My heart bleeds. (He can still get down under 30 inches in a corset, so I have no sympathy. Zero.)

Anybody else think we should take up a collection for a 5-ft metal chicken to go in their place?

Ahahaha! I just bought the first episode of Bob's Burgers from iTunes. It gave me a popup, asking me if I wanted to buy the episode, which is standard security protocol, I guess. But the funny part is that, in asking me, it used the episode name.

"Do you want to buy 'Human Flesh'?" it asked me. I should have taken a screen shot.

So, in Vortex's heart news, I have mitral valve prolapse ! So, relatively minor, don't need to take any meds, don't need to change my eating or lifestyle. Next to best possible result, I think.
