I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am thinking about starting Lumberjanes (it is advertised in Giant Days which I like very much but I am a John Allison fan from way back.

I loved Nimona! Also Digger, which is about a cranky competent areligious female wombat engineer. So great.

Love the theology discussion but I can't participate on my phone.

In other news, Flonase just gave me a bloody nose, so I think that means the tree sex wins.

This hospital billing system is driving me insane. It thinks I owe either $1,100, $1,300, $1,500 or $4,000. The last is impossible, because of my out-of-pocket maximum. It has no record of my payment of three weeks ago. I tried to see my bills online and it says I have no bills. I tried checking by phone. If I log in by phone with my account number, it says I owe $1,100. If I log in by my SSN, it says I owe $4,000. Oh, and after entering the various numbers and my birth date, it says, "This is the account for Ginger. If this is correct, press 1. If not, press 2." When I press 1, it says, "I do not understand your response." I finally started over and, in a fit of madness, I pressed 2. It logged me in.

I'm going to have to again try to get a human between 8 and 4, when I have a treatment tomorrow that will last at least 3 hours. The hours between 8 and 4 are rarely my own.

We hatesss them.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Nimona left me with so many feels! Enough so that I just bought Lumberjanes.

Me too, although I haven't read it yet.

Lumberjanes is good stuff, too. I am probably a year behind on it, though. I also need to catch up on Sex Criminals, which is hilarious and wrong and THE BEST.

Oh good lord, Ginger. Billing should have a better grip on reality than that.

Lumberjanes is cute. I need to pick up Nimona.

I didn't get here until 10:30 (went back to bed thanks to my tree sex headache) and the popcorn didn't get put out until almost 11.

I didn't make it into work on time, either. I have a terrible tree sex headache and I'm having a lot of trouble focusing. I almost called in sick, but I dragged myself in today because I had a couple of meetings and some things I needed to do before tomorrow, and also I was expecting a package but they delivered so late that I won't be able to pick it up before our mail room closes.

I'm going to leave early and go back to bed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, Ginger. I want to set things on fire on your behalf.

I agree with Dana. BURN IT ALL DOWN.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Damn, I went to the comic book store today, and I forgot to buy Nimona.

I don't think I've ever gone to a hospital at all in my life without my billing getting screwed up in some manner.
