Happy Valentines Day, for them that celebrate.
Also, Happy Quirkyalone Day!
Wiki defines “Quirkyalone” as “a neologism referring to someone who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than dating for the sake of being in a couple.”
The term was coined by girlzine badass-turned-magazine maven Sasha Cagen while she was standing with several other single, unsmooched friends on a Brooklyn subway platform on New Year’s Eve back in 1999. “She expanded the concept into an essay in the first issue of her magazine To-Do List. When the article was republished in the Utne Reader in 2000, Cagen was surprised by the fervor of responses from readers who felt their lives had been validated by her work. As a result of these responses, Cagen opted to expand her essay into a 2004 book, titled Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics.”
Jess - I will for sure be asking about the pertussis booster today. I should have gotten a flu shot being that I'm around darn near 40 1st graders every day. I am now paying for it.
I had what I'm pretty sure was pertussis a few years ago. I caught it from some kids at a summer program where I was teaching. I was coughing so hard I couldn't breathe.
Oh, I have the day off, I can go get a pertussis booster. ... but wait, I cannot, because I am unemployed and have no health insurance!

Week two of unemployment is not off to a fantastic start, although with luck this will be the end of it.
I have things to do today: go to Good Will, clean out the garage, make bread. I would weed the yard, but it's raining.
Bah.
No COBRA, Consuela?
I hope this is very brief for you.
No coverage through the end of the month? I thought that was standard?
No COBRA, Consuela?
Probably not worth it for one shot, so unless you choose the retroactive once you DO need...
So, I was a tad bit bitter that my boss not only first scheduled my review when I'd planned a haircut (so I had to cancel that--and reschedule for MARCH) but also then rescheduled the review for 8AM Monday. Ick? BUT...I got a promotion! Which is good, because if I hadn't, I would've started looking for a new job. Yay. I guess I've already spent the increase, though. :)
YAY PROMOTED (if shaggy-headed) MEARA!!
Erin, my shoes are as yours. I have to go to the local community center to have a good soak, and that involved disgusting quantities of chemicals. There was some anger that i couldn't afford to expant my bathroom enough for a soaker tub. or afford a soaker tub.
