Yay health insurance that works!!

I finally got up the gumption to contact a couple places about getting stuff done and it just made more things to do. I have to get my medical records sent to this other doctor and they'll review them before they even agree if they'll see me. Which means printing and signing and faxing a form and following up on that and sending it and following up on THAT, and then if they don't see me finding a new place to start this all over again....I also finally called a roofing place my friend recommended and they don't do townhouses. Too y'all/steep of a roof. But that's what like two other places I contacted said too. Which...someone freaking roofed this place and there are a shit ton of townhouses around here. Who is doing the work?!? (The roofing company my friend suggested was like "here's some roofing supply places you could call and ask about their contractors they work with, they might not know who does townhouses though" which sounds like a lot more work...ugh)

Ooh, but one other medical office did call me back and arrange an appointment. One down, two to go. Plus if I want any house stuff done while I don't have a roommate I need to get on that.

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

Timelies all!

Warming up here a bit.

Incoming overnight guest that I don't know is a vegetarian. I'm not wanting to cook. Would a variety of higher-end veggie frozen pizzas and a big salad with garbanzo beans for some protein be ok?

We plan to eat in so we can watch the dogs and ease them into interacting while she is here to help.

ION - Mac update. he was not at school pick-up, at least not that I saw and I really looked. He has not been home and he has not communicated and he has not made his phone to where I could get a location on him.

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

That meal plan sounds good to me, msbelle.

Grr, mac.

I did a thing! And then I went to do another thing and found it confusing, so no momentum, but now it's time to go home, hooray!

Heard over the cubicles: "You wanna see my sad waffle?"

Apparently the size and shape and proportion of whipped cream and strawberries are not optimal. They are talking of great waffles of their pasts.

Why, yes, it is nearly quittin' time.

Guest is delayed so I'm having truffle Mac and cheese for dinner. If she's still hungry when she gets here I have the pizza.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

So if you've been compaining for years that your coworkers leave a particular task undone so you have to take care of it, and it isn't fair - when the supervisor creates a sign-in sheet for accountability, space for both staff to sign, explicit directions on who is responsible for which step, and instructions that both staff are to check together that the task is done and sign after checking together - and then you find that the other staff is still not doing what you think of as their share of the work, do you A) note the issue (there is a column for that) on the sign-in sheet so your supervisor has documentation that there was a problem; or 2) sign the sheet without indicating any issue and start coming in early to do the other person's work while complaining that nothing ever changes?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hmmm. Columns exist to be filled out, after all.

Our wings are not tired.

And the As have it!

DH has taken Skinner to our vet for a wellness visit. He wasn't well taken care of prior to the rescue. He was only 55 pounds when he was taken in to the rescue. Three weeks later he is now 60, but he had worms and had been treated for that. I expect in a year he will probably be about 80-90 pounds considering his breed/gender and leg length. Brendon is getting blood tests and stuff to make sure he doesn't have any other issues going on since he was spayed 3 weeks ago too and well just to make sure he is okay.

People who don't take care of their pets suck. He is just the sweetest baby.
