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

Scary and infuriating about the insurance company mandated change.

Wishing all the health -ma.

Fucking insurance companies. I'm sorry he's going through this latest trial, Cindy. I hope it's a blip (I mean, relatively speaking, of course) and the infusions continue to be OK since they've been so helpful.

JZ just took Matilda to get her drive-through vax.

It is a doubly propitious day as it is also our 17th wedding anniversary (and many of you were there). As JZ noted, "It's our Nilly's-Favorite-Number anniversary!"

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Anniversary!

What a horrible and frustrating mess, Cindy! I can imagine how furious you must be at this point. I hate insurance companies so much.

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

It's our Nilly's-Favorite-Number anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!

Cindy, here's hoping your son's doctors can figure out a course of treatment without the side effects and kick insurance company ass until everything goes smoothly.

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

Timelies all!

Health~ma to your son, Cindy.

Happy Anniversary!

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

So, I had plans yesterday afternoon to get together with Emmett's best friend, Joey, who is working as a student teacher at Matilda's old elementary school. I'd already gotten together with him a couple weeks ago for burritos, but I had promised to treat him to after work drinks.

I was scheduled to meet him at 4pm in front of Amoeba, so I was trotting out the door at 3:52, and ran smack into Emmett, and his girlfriend Kalena, with Joey in tow! Surprise!

We collected Matilda and I took them all out to Alembic where we sat outside in the restaurant parklet, and I treated them to the world's best polenta fries with a delicious chimichurri sauce, Scotch Egg, Burgers, salads and super fancy cocktails. Since Emmett, Kalena and Joey had all been counselors at Matilda's away camp, they all had plenty to talk about and it was a raucous, laughy, super fun time. A great pleasure.

Today is second shot day! Yaaaay!

Yesterday I realized that all my friends will be vaccinated and the sensible sort to still wear masks, which means come late August we can hit the craft stores for the early THREAT LEVEL: PUMPKIN expedition.

That sounds scary, Cindy. I hope they figure out the issue is and can fix it relatively easily.
