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

Cats are fed, dog is fed, rabbit is fed, candles are lit, plumbing issue seems to have resolved itself just like I hoped, time for a second glass of wine and Killjoys (if I can stay awake after to much to eat and two glasses of wine...ETA or even close my parentheses)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't have any wine, but I did have too much to eat for dinner.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Any thoughts re: submitting a written request and picking up my medical records myself, or waiting until I find a Dr. in San Francisco and sending a request to have my medical records sent there?

Considering that Emmett's medical records from his early pediatric doctor have never actually migrated into the system of his Teen Clinic doctors (7 years after authorization etc.) I'd say getting physical copies might be worth the trip.

(Still grateful that original pediatrician kept scrupulous paper records onsite because he couldn't get into college without complete immunization record.)

Maybe Laura has an opinion on this since that's her company's biz, but there's a lot of NonCommunication between different medical systems. They're not designed to be cross-communicating.

One of the reasons I was glad to get back into Kaiser is that they still had my medical records from the previous time I was with them, decade or two back, and the spottiness of my records from in between has not been a concern.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have no idea where all my medical records are. I should probably know that, huh? I've been with Cigna since 2000, and before that I was mostly uninsured but didn't have any significant health issues. When I was working for the mental health clinic, I must have had health insurance then; I got several immunizations. My records from when I was a child were apparently destroyed in a flood a couple decades ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've never had records transferred from a doctor, but I've also never had a significant health issue. Now I'm back in the system I was in as a child, which is convenient.

Yeah, thanks to Obamacare, I went back to Kaiser a year ago, and now that (hopefully!) I'll be back in the federal system, I'll be back on a regular Kaiser plan. It's been nice to see my regular doctor again, after 12 years in Kaiser and then 2 years with BC/BS when I basically didn't see a doctor because I couldn't be bothered to hunt down someone who was taking new patients.

Gotta get moving: I need to pick up my climbing gear at home and go to the gym -- wish me luck, I haven't climbed in about a month, hoping my golfer's elbow will resolve. Not sure it has, though. Argh.

Then I will experiment with paint colors in the kitchen, woot. And think about stains for the floor.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Timelies, all! I went for a run on a delightfully cool and non-humid (for NC in August) morning. The run itself was like dragging a wheelless sledge full of gravel behind me, but it happened. Then I walked the cat, gardened, and made compost tea. I feel like I earned my eggs and toast this morning. This afternoon I'm meeting a friend for Ant Man and then grocery shopping. For now I'm enjoying having my windows open. I'll have to shut them and crank the AC a few degrees from now, but the fresh air is nice while it lasts.

Welcome home, Sheryl and family!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Love those pulls, Consuela!

Nice pulls! Our pulls were the splurge when we redid the kitchen. I think I am not allowed to get sick of them.
