Aarrrrggggg. So frustrated. I need to talk with KCD but he isn't answering his phone. I texted about and she hasn't responded. People. Talk to me.

I received a reimbursement check from my insurance company today. It was for $0.24. Less than the cost of a stamp.

I'm pretending it's a royalty check.

Huh, snow in the Sierras. Well, that's good. But it shut down the Asparagus Festival.

The Flavor Bible is AMAZING. GO GET IT. The SO thinks and cooks this way and rarely uses recipes. This was perfect for him.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I just realized today that our ED should be the DD. And we need a new ED. He's shite at managing people, shite at anything Microsoft Office, can't title his email subject lines with anything but his nsme, no matter how many times we complain, saves shared documents to his desktop rather than ghetto server, and rather than resend an email conversation so it can be responded to with the relevant preexisting conversation within easy reach, he'll print our a hard copy. Such a lovely, wonderful nan who has improved our social relations by keeps and bounds and cultivated members and donations beyond our wildest dreams, but my god he sucks in so many other important ways.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sat in the house today, waiting for the cable company to arrive for an appointment some time between 8-8. At 7:30pm, we called to find out where they were. They told us the technician was on the way. At 9, we called again. Then they told us the appointment had been rescheduled at 7pm.

I really, REALLY want to set something on fire.

hip deep in pie

I just did a bunch of skipping. I spent the last two days ferrying my dad around as he got his corneal transplant (and also a lens implant) done. After having to put a LOT of eyedrops in his eyes, I feel less squicky about eye things. The good part is that it went really well and the doctor was impressed.

My nephew had his finger surgery, but the plastic surgeon couldn't even find the tendon to reattach it, but he did repair the nerve.

And my sister had sinus surgery. there was some kind of polyp blocking her sinus and there was a lot of infection. She got really sick from the anesthetic, but everyone seems to be on the mend.

I hope that was all the surgeries for my family for a good long tine.

That is way too much surgery in a short period of time.

God, yeah. Hope everyone recovers well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Health~ma for your whole family, Sue. That's way too many surgeries all at once!

Then they told us the appointment had been rescheduled at 7pm.

Dana, the last time Comcast did that to me, I Tweeted at them irately, and someone responded to me and got it fixed. Apparently someone monitors their @ tweets. (That was the time the construction crew in the lot next door severed my cable line and didn't notice.)
