It hasn't even been very humid here! It's practically chilly right now.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've used the A/C probably three times this summer.

We have had fewer days above 90 than usual, admittedly.
I thought y'all would appreciate this:
In old age, Bacall raged against what she saw as the mediocrity of contemporary Hollywood, as represented by everything from the career of Tom Cruise to the Twilight movies that her granddaughter dragged her to see. “She said it was the greatest vampire film ever made,” Bacall recalled. “After the film was over, I wanted to smack her across the head with my shoe.”
Instead, Bacall bought the child a DVD of FW Murnau’s 1922 classic Nosferatu. “Now that’s a vampire film,” she told her sternly. >[link]

Yay Aims!
I'm sorry, ita. I know the feeling; you start thinking "when" instead of "if", and then they pull the rug out from under you.
So I saw my doctor today and like I expected, he didn't have anything to make the dizziness better, but he did sign me up with a physical therapist (in 2 weeks), who might be able to give me exercises to help my inner ear deal.
Since I don't want to wait that long, I'm googling images of "vestibular therapy" to find out what I can be doing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Daniel, that's horrifying, but glad the news was good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yikes, Daniel.
Here's hoping I don't get news of a death every day this week. Today's news hit a little close to home. The master electrician at Court Theatre died in a rock climbing accident. The folks at that theatre don't even have time process their loss because they need to replace him right away to get the season started.
ION, I'm now scheduled to interview for the job I've been doing since November. I've gotta figure out what to wear.

Yay, Daniel's heart!
Nothing says "I love health insurance" like receiving an itemized bill totaling 435,548.02, with a Total Member Responsibility of 0.00.
Pharmacy: 96,920.00 (there are other pharmacy line items)
Intensive care: 29,590.00
Operating room services - Minor surgery: 240,697.00
Organ acquisition - other donor: 7,515.00 I know nothing about material from another donor. Everything was supposed to come from him.
add others to fill out the numbers.
I feel a little nauseous and very, very grateful. God help the people without disability coverage and good employer-provided insurance.
This is just one collection of charges from one provider. I've got stacks of these papers from lots of other people.

Holy shit, Connie.
I wouldn't be able to begin to process that.

I'm pretty sure Hubby's treatment will clear a million dollars once all the numbers are in. They were trying the weird shit.

Connie, I'm glad the amount you owe is $0, but yikes!
ita, I'm sorry that's a bummer, although in the world of academia, it's not a 'no' until you hear it.

I remember being completely stunned by my hospital bill after the foot meets lawn mower incident when I was young and uninsured. That number wasn't anywhere near those numbers, Connie.
My twitter feed is 90% Ferguson, MO right now but I've seen a grand total of 3 posts on the subject on FB. Is FB stifling the subject or have people differentiated how they use the two media that much?
