Ugh that’s the worst dcp—my employer screwed that up several times at the beginning of the year for some reason and had the insurance company saying I wasn’t covered! Yikes. Eventually mine worked out—glad yours did too!

Oh, geez, dcp, that would have had me in a panic, too. I'm so, so glad it worked out.
sj, what the hell? I'm so sorry they didn't accommodate your very simple requests. Good grief. MRIs are so freaking loud. In any case, I hope it gives them some useful information about your neck/arm.
Yeah, the snow was pretty here (Reston), but now it's just muck. I haven't been on a road today, but I don't imagine much stuck. Maybe icy, though.
I ran into a glitch with presents, realizing that I need some tissue paper, but I didn't feel like going out for it. So, I'll do that tomorrow, finish wrapping, and send the box off to GA. Will still get there in plenty of time, I'm sure.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, sj.
After a couple of good days, Mr. S was awful today. (I wasn't home, but Gary told me what went on)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm a little envious of the East Coast snow. Normally I root against it, but since I don't have to deal with commuting myself or worrying about Alex's two-bus commute to his chosen alternative high school at the other end of town, it would be lovely and would break up the monotony. Plus, our quince tree barely produced any fruit this year, to the disappointment of everyone we gave quince jam to last year, and apparently it was due to the warm winter, so a little colder would be nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry about your uncle and the MRI, sj. That's a real day of shit!
I am not looking forward the snow, especially because I'm afraid work snow days are cancelled forever now! I will be able to shovel tomorrow between 12-2 and then after 5, because otherwise I'm in meetings. So I'm hoping it actually does snow all day so I don't feel guilty.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm so sorry about your uncle, sj. And I hope you've been able to settle some since the MRI.

They canceled school for ltc earlier today.
I took a long nap when we got home as the anxiety drugs I took made me sleep. I'm feeling mostly better now, but still aggravated I can't get people to listen to me.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Several people in my family do not go by their given names, to the point when my great aunt called collect once, my brother and I did recognize the name and didn't accept the charges. The phone rang again and the operator was clearly amused when he said "collect call from Aunt Bootsie."
Im waffling about going home for Christmas. I drive, so it can be a game time decision. Theoretically, it's just a straight shot from my house to my brother's house, so should be safe. But, I'm still not speaking to my mother, and I would think that he and his family would go over there on Christmas morning. I really don't want to deal with that drama.
