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

Definitely complicates my whole bike-to-work-on-Wednesdays plan

I can’t bike from my bedroom to the living room!

Or can I?

Ok, rethinking everything

I don't mind that the body has decided that we wake up at 6:30 or 7 every day, now that it's warm. I mind a little bit that the body refused to go to sleep until 1. I really mind that the body pulled this trick on a day where I can't have anything to eat or drink until 1PM.

Thrive to spite them

Welp.I got a phone call from the physical therapy place about my referral for therapy and I was like noooo I have an appointment for a FCE tomorrow. Ok, they say, sorry for the confusion.

Then they call back--my FCE has been cancelled by worker's comp because it's out of network.

Worker's comp MADE the appointment. I ... don't even know at this point. you would think they'd be doing everything in their power to get me back to work so they could stop paying me but..whatever.

Edit--just got a call from Corvel to reschedule at a different facility because "the other one doesn't do FCEs anymore" .. sure... anyway new FCE is June 2.

Dang, EMTs at the gym this morning. Not for me, to be clear, but yikes

ETA: when I actually left I saw 3 cop cars as well, which I suppose might be just part of emergency response but makes me think something else was going on than some guy collapsing in the locker room. I'll probably never find out what.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I totally spaced on signing ltc up for a camp this summer when Papa got sick. So now I'm scrambling to get her signed up for some things for the weeks we won't be away so that she doesn't spend all day watching TV.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't know if there's a Boys & Girls Club option but they were key for filling in spot weeks for Matilda when she was in elementary school. You don't have to worry about whole sessions - it's just drop in, and there's usually room. Also, it's cheap and subsidized.

Ha ha, tiny MRI machine, that ain't happening. So much for today's plans.
