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.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

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'm bored.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No COBRA, Consuela?
I hope this is very brief for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No coverage through the end of the month? I thought that was standard?

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. :)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
YAY PROMOTED (if shaggy-headed) MEARA!!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
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.

Isn't there a penalty of some sort for having interrupted insurance? Or does that only matter if you have a pre-existing condition of some sort?
Congrats, meara!
Man, I cannot compose this email for shit.
