Zen, 20K for "seed" money? On top of trips to Europe? I hope your sister is well-off, because my WTFF face is EPIC. Wow. Just...wow. That's a fucking down-payment on a HOUSE!
Oh no, not seed money. This was just to pay off credit card debt. And yeah, you should have seen MY WTFF face.
Jilli, thanks for that info! I need to replace a gold eyeshadow (I tried it on at a brick-and-mortar Sephora and Half Baked is the shade for me!) and also need to get my BFF a birthday present!
This is ridiculous. My primary care doctor won't call the ENT to get me an appointment unless I go and see her again first. She says she has Tuesday evening appointments this week, and I can come in then. Except I can't come in then -- it's Yom Kippur.
Can't you go in on the medical exception? Yeah I know in this case the emergency nature of the timing is that your Doctor is being a jackass. But unless you have an alternative way to get treatment in a timely manner, I think that counts. A form of coercion. OK, not a theologian, but still...
I think I can manage to get in sometime Monday afternoon. I'd planned on spending Monday afternoon doing some of the organizing and filing and grading and stuff that I won't be able to do on Wednesday, but I can figure out some way around that. I've got a really tight schedule this week, and I was willing to fit in some time to go to a doctor who might make my ears stop hurting. I'm not so eager to rearrange stuff to go to a doctor who might or might not help me get to a doctor who might make my ears stop hurting.
As for Tuesday night, it's not so much that I don't want to violate the holiday, but that it's the beginning of a fast, and having anything to do that night other than eat, pray, and sleep is going to totally screw up the timing of when I last eat before starting the fast. (I'm willing to drive to a doctor on Yom Kippur if I need to, but I'm not going to eat after the fast has already started because I was at the doctor when I should have been eating dinner.)
