I would LOOOOOOVE to have a big soaker tub, and it was one of the few things that I did not like about my house I bought--no big tub, and no room to expand and get one! Sad.
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?
I believe there is (in re: preexisting conditions) but it's over a certain amount of time (>60 days? >90?). So if you're only going to be without for a few weeks, it's no big. And since you CAN retroactive Cobra, it's often worth going without for a month or so, before deciding if you'll need it to stop the clock, or to cover actual health issues.

Woohoo for promotion!!
All this tub talk reminds me that my mom is going to be having foot surgery this spring. If she can get it scheduled for early April, I'm going out to take care of her for a week. I'll be able to use her whirlpool while I'm out there--yay!! I've been unable to comfortably get out of a tub, but I should be able to handle it by then, especially a deeper whirlpool one.

Yay meara! I'm glad they came through for you.
And it's possible I still have coverage through the end of month, I suppose. But I won't do retroactive COBRA unless I have to, since it's expensive.
I am cranky that I'm losing my easy-to-deal-with HMO (I'm in Kaiser) and will have to go to Blue Cross under the new contract position. Which means finding a new PCP and all that. BAH.
I should call my boss today to find out how the contracting process is going.

In other news, I have started bread: apple-walnut bread out of the Bernard Clayton book of breads. And laundry.
I should walk the dog, but it's a big grey and dreary outside.
Man, unemployment makes me even less productive than usual, which is saying a lot. Bah.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry to hear about all the sick. I'm hoping for Aimee it's not pertussis.
Also? Happy Valentines to everybody! I think it's always nice to let the people in your life know how much their friendship means to you, and for me that means everyone here. Happy Valentines Day buffistae!
