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.

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!

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.

I've got some of my medical records already, like immunizations. I was to download the last couple years of treatment online.

In other news, I paid rent on two apartments today. Now I need to gather a load of stuff to run over the donation drop.

I paid for the first half of a new roof today. Good times.

Y'all. I ordered a tote bag from Evil Supply Co ( it's adorable)

Awww, Atticus does such a good job with things. Evil Supply Co. is a great company, and Atticus is a darling.

Yikes, Brenda!

I'm trying not to think too much about the cash I'm laying out for this kitchen. At least I'm getting to the point of being able to see results, like cabinets etc.

And, of course, none of the paint samples looks the way I expected them too. One of them was supposed to be a dark purply navy, and the other two bright dark royals. The lighter ones are too light and bright, and the purply one looks gray/black by comparison. Argh. Back to the paint store, I guess.

Timelies all!

We're slowly but surely putting together the stuff we need. We don't have a crib yet, but we do have a pack-n-play he can sleep in.
