That's amazing, Suzi! Congrats!

Congrats Suzi.

Kids made us late for the bus this morning and I lost it and yelled at them. Ugh. Not a good move on my part, but SO ANNOYING on theirs since I committed to going up to the school later today to attend some events there. PLUS I was busy planning Isaac's (late) birthday party all day yesterday. Growl. Can it be summer already?

Sad about Maya Angelou. I have such a clear memory of the first time I read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.

Okay, DH is home, so I need to get on with the morning.

Congrat!

Bad news: need a full repipe. Worse news: caused by galvanic corrosion electrolysis ( I knew he was using the wrong word) , not covered by warranty. $1500.

Better news, he's willing to come out tonight to do the work. As in starting at 9. I don't care, I'll be up.

Future worse news: my hot water supply to the second floor is next. I guess I'll start getting quotes on that. That may require demo. Sigh.

Ouchies, sara. Full. Copper. Repipe.

My prescription insurance requires we go through their mail order service. I reordered a few meds a week ago Sunday and have gotten all but one. That one is what keeps my migraines at bay and I've been without for 4 days. I have e-mailed with them over the weekend and the only advice I got was "it will be there Tuesday, hang on". Today I called and supposedly it "has been delivered". Right. Not. But since their system says it was received, they have to jump through hoops to have it marked as "lost in the mail" before they can send me another refill - arriving when?

As I express my utter frustration, through the imminent migraine, she mentions I can take my old bottle my retail pharmacy and have them contact the insurance and fill it for me today. Geeeee. You couldn't have said that up front? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

From yesterday:

Are you liking it, Calli?

I'm loving the tai chi. The instructor is great and I like my class mates. I bought the t-shirt, so I guess I'm committed now.

I'm sorry about the plumbing woes, sarameg.

I bought the t-shirt, so I guess I'm committed now.

Ha! That is awesome. I'm glad you are enjoying it. I miss having a Tai Chi Center I could go to before work, that was great.

Congrats, Suzi! Sorry about the neds mixup though.

Sorry, sarameg. Glad he can get started today...

Work is making my stomach hurt. So I am pouring more cofee down my throat. I realize this is not a good plan, but it is necessary in the short term...

Ouch, sara.

Hey, speaking of recent Jeopardy champions, here's a great thing about the UCSB shooter from Arthur Chu: [link] (Which I now realize I got from some of you people on the Facebook....)

Now that we've replaced the screwed up sensor in the new Jeep, it has revealed itself to be a sturdy road warrior. It's surprisingly easy on gas, and it's handled two trips a day to Salt Lake--100 miles round trip each--with little quibble. I think Hubby covets it, but too bad, it's mine.

That's good to hear, Connie! Glad it's now working out for you.

Suzi, that's part of why I hate the whole "prescriptions by mail" thing they're all trying to force us into.

I made an appointment for 9AM to get a lab draw at the doctor's office. Get there at 8:55. Wait. Wait. Swear several people are taken back for lab draws who got there after me. At 9:15 ask what the story is. The girl at the desk comes over a minute later and apologizes for the wait and hands me a starbucks card and says it'll be a few minutes more. Finally called in at 9:25...out by 9:30. Something about having the starbucks cards handy tells me this is not uncommon...

I think my caffeine is broken.
