Sorry about nurse being less than helpful, Ginger.

Today is the Monday-est of Mondays.

Today is the Monday-est of Mondays.

It is Mondaying VERY hard. (I may have food poisoning. I'm trying to work -- and SO thankful that I work from home today of all days -- but this kind of crampy stomach pain is making it hard to concentrate. DO NOT WANT.)

t edit Also, there are fruit flies in the kitchen. ALSO DO NOT WANT. Homemade traps have been deployed with great rancor.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, god, such a Monday. I despise everyone and all their works.

Speaking of Superheroes, Matilda has a playdate today with one of her classmates, a girl named Justice. (Justy for short.)

Matilda woke up and said in her best Narrator voice, "I have a date...with Justice!"

Side note: Justice's father won the Pulitzer price for Fiction a couple years ago.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Kristen and Drew, I hope it's something simple and you don't have to wait long.

The nurse was working from a script, which irritates the hell out of me. Also, she asked me three times if I knew where the urgent care center was. Finally I said, "I go to the oncology office in that building at least once a week" and she said, "No, don't go to oncology. Go to urgent care."

While I'm ranting: When you call Kaiser, you put in your health record number and birthday. When you press 2 for the advice nurse, you put in your health record number and birthday. My information is on the screen when she answers the phone. Then the nurse has to confirm my health record number. In doing so, she kept transposing two numbers. She also has in front of her my medical history, with all my current medications, and she wants me to go through what medications I'm taking. I just said, "Seriously?"

Ginger, can you go to your chiropractor appointment first and then urgent care?

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

The insomnia fairy has been visiting, so I am aggravated by everything today. People walking too closely behind me. People attempting to interact with me. People asking dumb questions. People not telling me information I need to know. What is wrong with you people.

Wishing pain-ease for Drew.

Justice's sister is named Jupiter. Justy and Jupy.

Oh, yeah. I got less than 5 hours of sleep last night, for absolutely no reason. I'm blaming it on Fury Road.
