Just came home from my friend's production of The New Electric Ballroom, and Wednesday night I am going to Seattle to hear Itzhak Perlman. How is this my life?

Oh! I'd say it is the life you deserve.

Well, it seems the planners for the Tokyo Olympics are planning for every eventuality.

Well fuck. My insurance is going to go up by $100/month because of my accident. I can't even see about SC insurance and how it will effect it because I still don't have the paperwork I need to get my car registered. I made another request this time they are sending it directly to the bank branch.

Instead of being $53/month my insurance will be $150/mth and my initial payment will be almost $300. And the billing date is changing. I don't know why.

So now in the first 2 weeks of the month I have to pay for my meds at almost full price,y biggest credit card bill and now the car insurance. pretty much my entire first pay check of the month will go to that

I will be looking at cheap car insurance

Well, it seems the planners for the Tokyo Olympics are planning for every eventuality.

Given that they distributed 110,000 condoms for the Winter Olympics I'd say that that was sound planning.

I guess they know how much sex happens. I assume you have a lot of people from all over the world and in close quarters and things happen.

....and I discovered my prescription went up so it's going to be about $60 more a month.

I've been looking at other job listings but they don't pay that much more or pay less than I make and no way to tell if the insurance would cost me more or less.

Yay, Epic!

That sucks, askye. I'm sorry.

Hi, friends! I am going a little bonkers waiting to hear if I got the job at that Huge Company in Seattle. (No, we won't be moving regardless.) I have such mixed feelings about it all, so we'll see what happens. This is the second time in the last 5-6 years I've been contacted by a recruiter via Linked.In and gone all the way through the process, including flying to Seattle for a full day of interviews (latest happened last Fri and supposedly I'll know something by the end of this week).

My youngest continues to be an Experience. Challenging, beautiful, angering, loving - it's a lot, y'all. I did (finally) start therapy several months back. I see his therapist, which somehow seems very fitting (she's a play therapist by trade). I love her, even though I cry every damn time I see her, even when there's nothing particularly upsetting happening. Shit. And she's out of the country until the end of the month and I'm already missing my sessions. Sigh.

Sorry for the novel. Just needed somewhere to put it and remembered my Buffista friends.

Thanks Glamcookie.

A good therapist is worth their weight in gold (and good tears from good sessions). I miss therapy and my therapist but I just can't add another expense or the toll of driving so far to see someone. And I don't want to deal with finding someone local.

Right before the stupid car accident I was beginning to feel like I was in an ok place and that things were going to start turning around and I could really budget to pay off debt and now....the cost of the medicine will be bad until the deductible kicks in and I should meet that in May. I'm very lucky/privelaged to have parents who can help me out but they have done that so much I have started to feel like they have enabled some bad behaviors. So it's just like - I've had all these realizations and am ready to make changes but now this stuff happens that will make it harder.

Oh man, Glam, that's tough. If you get the job would you be in Seattle occasionally? Because that would be cool!
