Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We have been struck by something akin to the "stomach flu." It has been... unfun. Both kids have now had it and M had something similar last weekend. I have a busy week of work when I'm supposed to be in classes all day every day, which of course means I will no doubt come down with it tomorrow.
To end on a happier note: all good birthday wishes to Maria & Pix!
I went to H&R Block to do the taxes, then I played with paying off the big bills to see what would be left to play with. I can do my big birthday shopping trip to Ikea tomorrow, and if I can beat down the brain Puritans enough, I can do a trip to Key West next February to visit the ocean and see cool shit. A couple of thousand dollars is not really going to make that big a deal in my longterm retirement plans, but a chance to hear the ocean again will do wonders.
Happy (belated?) birthdays, Maria and Pix!
And much ~ma to all sick 'istas.
Echoing what Shir said! Happy Birthdays Maria and Pix and ~ma to all.
I am finally pain free from the tooth thing - now I have to make an appointment for the crown. I used up all my calling people on the phone energy in the last two weeks, though, so I have to gear up. Why can't everything be online?
zzzzzzzzzzz
It is no surprise the number of times a vendor is selected because of the ability to use email or web access. Phones, shudder. The worst is when they have chat or email support and the answer is 'please call 800-xxx.xxxx'. I get super pissy at that point asking why they bother to have chat if the only function is to give me a phone number. Yes, it makes me lose patience.
sings lullaby to Dana. She wakes irritated at the sound of Laura's insufficiently caffeinated tones.
grrrrrrr
"I appreciate your thorough review" = "Boy, you had a lot of nitpicky comments I'm going to ignore."

I love that my doctor has started online visits for really simple stuff like sinus infections. The cost is $10 more than an in-office co-pay, but it's worth it for (1) not having to wait 3-7 days for an appointment, (2) not having to put on pants and leave the house, and (3) not having to actually interact with people. t edit And you can do an online visit on the weekend and still get an Rx called in that same weekend day. That shit is amazing.
