I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dentist appointment this afternoon and our dental insurance is claiming my coverage ended 7/31 and no one has any idea why and I'm already on the fourth phone call of the morning and I'm about to cry.

Oh geez Dana. I've been through that before with the doctor and it's a pain. I'm so sorry.

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

Oh, no, Dana, I'm so sorry. What a mess!

Oh, of course. It's because the COBRA administrator didn't have my social or birthdate, even though I've had COBRA coverage for over a year and visited the dentist at the beginning of the year.

And of course the reasonable course of action is to terminate my coverage, instead of ACTUALLY TRYING TO CONTACT ME ABOUT IT.

Ann, that's a ferret.

So DC is now under a Tropical Storm Warning.

Oh, joy.

I don't think I have the bandwidth to process storm news this year. Stay safe, peoples

Our wings are not tired.

Oh Dana, I am sorry for all the mess.

SIL's doctor is trying another drug, but if that doesn't do the job then c-section this afternoon. Some dilation~ma might be a good idea.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Ugh, Dana.
