We have been so lucky here. Self-pay has become more mainstream. We no longer get "whuts'at?" looks. In fact, what we usually get at the practice, the lab, the clinic, and the dentist is, "You're self-pay? We'll be glad to bill you. Or if you pay the full amount today we'll give you a 40% discount." Considering that when we had insurance the deductible was so high we wound up paying in full for visits and most treatments anyway, I'll take the 40% discount, and happily.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I went to an Orioles game once. Got invited to a super fun wedding in Baltimore, and we stayed a couple days after to eat crab cakes and such, including catching a game at Camden Yard. Orioles vs. Mariners - I don't remember who won but I got to see Cal Ripken Jr. play.

Oh Jon Stewart, no matter how badly you want January Jones to be an interesting interview, it's just not going to happen.

Grace has a fever and just puked all over her bed. She had a fever and her pulse was super high (which is usually the sign of something wrong... pulse oximeter at home = yay?)Awesome. And Noah? Dentist tomorrow. We are fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Funnest mom ever!
Hey, would Noah be traumatised if you took a picture of him in a tub of cranberries? Not that I want to. Just that I figure he would not care or be over it in a day or maybe even think it was stupid fun.

OMG, WTF Good Wife? I am SO NOT A FAN of Kalinda and Blake and writing it like it's sexy. GROSS. (ETA: Well, at least it turned out OK)
I liked the rest of the ep, though.

Noah would be fine with it. Me? NSM. It would be a fucking nightmare mess. I'm saying not to that thought.
I need an intervention.

I will not put your son in a tub of cranberries. Nor your daughter. Or if I did, I would do all the cleanup. Which is how you know they're safe from me.
However, can I teach him to play Sex Pistols on the sax?

Sure. Can you do it? Can you start with the violin since we have one of those?
I can't believe I signed up my asthmatic, trach-having, g-tube having new walking daughter for soccer. I'm kinda a bad mom.
