we leave at the ass crack of morning on Saturday for a weekend with family I haven't really seen in awhile. people I love dearly and who are fun and nice, so that should be good. I think tomorrow I will call and schedule a spa day that I have a gift card for. That is 2 things for July that I can look forward to and then only 3 weeks of August until school starts. I can totally do this. I have wine and beer and work.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Man, it's just one fucking medical expense after another lately. It's going to be nearly $2,000 for a nurse practitioner to drain an absecss... after insurance.
I feel this. I just picked out frames for my first-ever bifocals, which are expensive as hell even with insurance. (And I also get prescription sunglasses -- which is my choice, I know -- but that adds another $200 to the total.) And then Friday I get to spend $2,000 for 2 crowns. And my new IBS drug could potentially cost $300 (but probably won't, because it's a brand-name drug that has a discount program, which I am totally using). (And that's assuming that fucking Humana will even cover the drug.)

This too shall pass.

And Buffistas! Who love you and wish there were answers when there are none. Mindfully taking care of yourself is a good plan.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry you have to put up with all that, Rebecca. Hopefully the weekend will be relaxing and rejuvenating.
Gud, you're doing more this evening than I got done all weekend. Can you clone yourself, I need a you.

Grilled meat, melted provolone, on a good hoagie roll. Onions available on request.
I'm going to quibble and say an Amoroso roll. Also, for me, I think of cheese whiz as most authentic, though I like provolone better. And for me, though not traditional, mushrooms.

So I was right???
Yes, yes you were. I will totally affirm your rightness.
I have no opinion on cheesesteak as I believe, by any measure valued by those who love them, I've never had a proper cheesesteak. I've only had whatever it is they make here in California. A sandwich, on a roll, with steak and cheese in it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cheese Whiz is an abomination. (Who am I kidding, I'd eat it. But it's wrong, and I would ashamed.)
Untrue!! Whiz is one of the two possible cheeses on your steak.
I can totally do this. I have wine and beer and work.
You can totally do this! You also do have us.

I have my own SodaStream machine, so I am godlike and have fizzy water whenever I want it. But I -- for real -- think all brands of fizzy water/seltzer are the same. So I'm kind of a heathen.

I share your heathen habits, Steph. I am perhaps even more heathen as I don't even have a soda stream.
Other than tonic water for my G&Ts and the occasional seltzer, I have very little interest in soda water at all.
