'Sleeper'
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.
However, I got an email from CVS yesterday offering appointments for drive-through testing. "Free" - which I assume means they will bill my insurance.
I dunno -- CVS didn't even ask about my insurance for my free flu shot. They have some info on file for me from a prescription at some point, but they didn't confirm it or anything.
Edit: So maybe this is the same kind of free, whatever that is! I mean, someone is surely paying.
Not that I think anyone was waiting for an update, but I have heard back from my tax person today since the IRS required a response by 10/21. Their conclusion is that I do NOT owe the IRS anything, so I will only owe my tax person for preparing an amended return and responding to the IRS. I'm happy to pay that for peace of mind.
Also, I've been checking on my mail-in ballot and it is in the last stage of processing.
That's good news. Did they tell what (if anything) you need to do differently next year?
Timelies all!
Good news, shrift!
I usually go get tested on Thursday, but since I'm only in the lab on Friday this week, I guess that's when it will be.(and it will be a walk-up, rather than scheduled, as I did not bring my work computer home.)
Glad to hear that, shrift!
Woo, shrift!
My state's Red Cross gave me a scare today by calling me about my recent blood donation. It was just to thank me and ask about setting up my next appointment, not to inform me of a positive test result, thankfully. (I can see online I tested negative for Covid-19, but not anything else they screen blood for, and I'd assumed they only call you if there's a problem.)
I told the lady I'd prefer to set up an appointment close to the date of, when I can be more sure about my schedule. What I did not say was I'm still holding out hope of getting together with my crush again before early December, and thus removing my eligible donor status.

Hopefully this was a one-time issue. I didn't get paper copies or an electronic notification that I had tax documents that I needed to include in a filing, so now I've made a list of all the places I'll need to check for tax documents in the future.
Thankfully tests are free in California, and in Los Angeles we are consistently getting results in 24 hours and they guarantee results in 48 hours.
I think our tests in MA (in August) were only free if they were medically necessary (or maybe for essential workers). We just wanted them, without a doctor's referral, so we could go to Maine for a week. That was August though. I haven't paid attention since then, because we work from home and don't interact with others, except for masked grocery excursions.
To answer my own question, here's the Massachusetts page on testing. There's free stop the spread testing in select communities, but according the the FAQ, you don't need to live in those communities and you don't have to be sick. You just have to be a MA resident.
