Hang up in the middle of one of your sentences.

We're around this weekend, if you want to hang low-energy style.

Thanks, love.

I'm blaming the fucking Supermoon for all the joint pain and anxiety I've had this week.

Hm. I've had exceptionally bad hip pain this week, and a continuation of the low- to middling-grade anxiety. I'm down with blaming the Supermoon.

I'm actually being serious about that (maybe you are too?) - my joints get loose before my period, the pain makes the anxiety worse, so the Supermoon segue-ing into PMS has sucked the big one.

My drink is tasty and my bubble and squeak is tasty, but those two great tastes do not go great together.

Mine do as well. It's like someone using the Jaws of Life on my hips.

I'm serious about my hip pain being way worse, and my anxiety poking sticks at me, yeah. I wouldn't have thought to attribute it to the moon or to anything else, really, so possible explanations intrigue me.

My pain has also been much worse lately. I've been blaming all the rain we've been having.

Here's a brief article about joints and the menstrual cycle - [link] Apparently no link has been proven between the moon and menstrual cycles, though long part of the legend, but I am still curious about a possible link.

I'm tired of the rain and gloominess. It's supposed to be nice this weekend, Will and I are going to do indoor things like see Avengers.

A couple times I wish it would warm up but I'm glad I'm not in Florida and dealing with the heat.

Only problem the way my cubicle is arranged I barely get any air flow and it's kind of stuffy. The other side is cool and has air flow. This cubicle won't be my permanent one, but I'll be here for another 4-6 weeks.

Not that it's any surprise but - wow insurance and hospital billing is confusing. Especially our system. The hospital bills separately for facility and physician. But it's not just "typical" hospital stuff, there are a lot of clinics and doctors offices. So people have outpatient dr's appt but get 2 bills sometimes - and it's confusing. Plus for whatever reason it's easier to do things on one side than the other.

Need to print a statement for facility? No big deal - click some buttons and it prints. For physician side? Find the "Print Screen" for the codes, cut and paste that to a word document. Then go to the print screen for the actual charges and cut and paste that so it's one document.

And for some stuff I had to print, I couldn't (for reasons I still don't understand) so I had to go and change stuff around in visits, print what I needed, then go and delete the changes I made.

So, bubble and squeak. I boil/steamed the cabbage briefly; boiled the potatoes; sauteed a chopped onion in bacon fat; mashed the potatoes and added buttermilk, butter, salt and pepper; then added the cabbage and potatoes into the pan with the onions.

Accurate? No idea. Tasty? Hellz yeah.
