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

Whew! I'm glad that worked out but how scary to be so close to running out!

Argh. US healthcare system. Ugh.

What is even happening?

I've skipped about 250 posts, but felt the need to share this article about a U.S. resident with monkeypox. [link]

I hope everyone is well.

Matt, I'm happy to have seen your good news about your mom.

Monkeypox! Nobody needs that!

Monkey pox!!

Also hate insurance refill nonsense. Also annoyed at my doctors office that tends to write scripts for a few months at a time. I don’t necessarily have to go back in to get a refill, so why??

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That kind of shit drives me nuts with insurance. We'll cover the 50mg but not the 100mg so instead of two 100 you have to take four 50 and you also must get it filled in 90-day supplies, so just go to the pharmacy and they'll give you a big bucket of pills.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I finally have a CT (no contrast) scheduled for tomorrow.
CT of head completed, read, results given to my Dr and they called saying everything looks okay before I even was finished driving home. I don't live right by good medicine so it took me an hour to get home but that's super fast results.

Argh. US healthcare system. Ugh.
Yep.

That was inevitable. And I've clearly gotten behind in my Scary Things That Will Kill You PROmed newsletter because this was the first I've heard of it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Dana, that shirt is a hard NO.

So glad you didn't miss a dose of your meds, dcp.

Sorry for the illness, msbelle. I'm glad you got an appointment to see somebody.

It was 40 degrees last night. Extra blanket. Body thermostat confused.

I've never been fond of Kraft, especially mac&cheese (and those li'l, li'l hotdogs --never mind, Dark Angel ref). I'd try the deep-fried bits, but euw, mac&cheese ice cream, nuh-uh.

It just invoked Gus for me.

I feel fine this morning, just like every other day this week. Plan for the day - shower - drop off compost - walk dogs - get COVID test - do nails - listen to an audiobook - walk dogs again

I’m not going to go inside any business until I get the test results back, so I may also order some groceries. I’m grumpy.
