Get better, Skinner! If you were a good doggie, you'd slip some of your meds to Laura so she could be lazy for a week.
Look at you being all emotionally well adjusted and grown up, JenP! Isn't it nice that your friend was happy to hear from you?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's open enrollment time. Considering switching from Kaiser to this EPO thing, would save $25/month in premiums monthly but would have to get used to a whole different network of service. Which, given I haven't seen my PCP, uh, ever (got assigned a new one during lockdown and have yet to have an in person appointment) and I don't have any recurring appointments and my only current prescription is for high blood pressure, maybe now would be a good time to switch? And then there's the whole FSA - I think only the transit option would really be useful for me right now and the max amount I could use is pretty low, not sure if it would make a difference to have it be pre-tax. And there's an option for pet insurance, which is new. Hm.

It was!
It's open enrollment time.
Same. I asked DH about deadlines this morning, so he sent me a link to their company's Zoom call on Wednesday at noon, ha! I think he appreciates having someone else to handle it... he hates this stuff.
Sounds like it would be a decent time to switch, -t.
We don't really have much choice (or at least, didn't last year); it's all BCBS, and then pick a tier. I actually have had the best luck getting drugs approved through Cigna -- though I'm off of the "special and cost as much as a Tesla every month" kind these days. But there are still some annoyances. Like, they won't pay for a prescribed probiotic. Eh, there are weird issues like that everywhere, I guess. Stupid health insurance.
OK, I need to finish one last project by 5p. Here I go.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Shit, my MIL's cancer is back, and it's not good.

Oh no, Dana. I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Dana.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no Dana.

I'm sorry, Dana.

Random: this Mastodon app - are there buffistas over there? The whole picking a server thing is hard.

I'm sorry, Dana.
Seems like a good a time as any to switch, -t. My doctor retired a few months ago, so I need to find someone new myself. She was so good, and I'm kinda dreading breaking in a new person.
I'm on Mastodon under my "real" name. I'm on @indieweb.social, if that helps, sumi. @mastodon.social seems to be popular too.
