Dude is 87! He's lucky I didn't go out there with a baseball bat.

What's the standard of the Stand Your Ground laws in California? Are we allowed to harm intruders?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I already want to stab my head because I have a migraine, and THEN I had to call the Healthcare Marketplace (thanks, Obama!) folks because I was unsure if our plan that we started in December would roll into 2018. To be fair, I think my uncertainty was 50% my misunderstanding and 50% the Healthcare.gov being unclear.

Anyway, NO, coverage won't continue into 2019 and we needed to complete a totally new application for 2019, and the deadline is tomorrow. So I did that. And then selected the same goddamn plan we already have. I genuinely don't understand why the coverage can't just continue into 2019, and why I needed to fill out that godforsaken application again. Gah.

But it's taken care of. And now I want to stab my head even more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been taking this Tuesday yoga class through work, but I really don't like the teacher (I mean, I like her fine, but I'm not enjoying the class). I really like the person who teaches Monday, but it's a longer class and trash night at home and that feels like a lot in the winter. It suddenly occurred to me -- there is also a Wednesday class! I can try that one!

Sometimes it takes me while.

Our wings are not tired.

I just need to rejoin the gym. They have yoga classes, and other classes. Mostly I just want to swim, and my pool is too cold at this time of year because I am a big baby. I also really enjoy the old lady aqua fit classes, which occasionally even have people other than old ladies in them.

I should do more than one yoga class a week, but whatevs.

ION, how is it not even 4pm yet? I'm about ready to just leave, but should be a better example to my staff.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I have my car back! Just in time, as we leave on our vacation tomorrow. (Lots of packing to do tonight)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I basically just yelled "Why are we naming something after Gore Vidal when he's ALREADY DEAD??"

It's definitely time to go.

Also, one of my team members screwed something up, but acknowledged it and worked to fix it, and I'm just so proud.
