I finally booked ltc's birthday party. Her birthday is not until the second week of August, but we're having the party at the end of July. She has decided she wants a Captain Marvel party, and I couldn't be happier.
Yeah, trying to find a therapist is nearly impossible, IME.
Can you tell my mother this? Yes, I know I need to find a therapist, but it's so hard to work appointments around ltc's schedule and the last few therapists I saw were absolute crap. We have new insurance starting in a few days, and I'm crossing my fingers that the options will be better.

Good luck!! I think my insurance is kind of crap, but even still--I feel like most doctors take it, and if I look someone up on their website and call their office, they almost always take it and confirm if they're accepting new patients. But therapists? Heck no. They either don't take the insurance anymore or they're not accepting patients. Or both.
I ran into that a ton when I was on a supplemental Medicare insurance. Not accepting new clients at this time constantly.
There was a study that found something like 73% of therapists on a major insurer's list were unavailable. [link] Guess that's one way for the insurers to avoid paying for it.
We're about 35 hours into tech (over 4 days) and it feels like a rare strain of Tourettes is spreading. People are muttering "Pickalittle", "Shipoopi", and "Baaaalzac".
On Friday we will literally have 76+ trombonists here to perform a 15 minute parade/press stunt. We keep getting notices that "It will be LOUD".

Seriously. When I first moved to Philly I had to see a specialist, recommended by my in-network GP, and found myself slapped with a $750 bill for some clown to look up my nose for 5 minutes and declare there was nothing more to do. It hadn't even occurred to me that a health insurer could just refuse to cover someone the government had already licensed to practise medicine. Car insurers don't only pay out if they have an existing agreement with the street on which you had an accident.
The vaccine is vanishingly rare, here.
This is also the case here apparently. Also, yay for new laptop!!

Can confirm. And I've never been in a group of more than like 30 trombones!
Also now I'm going to go around muttering "pick a little, talk a little"!
