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

Also aargh, my phone autocorrected Medi cab to Mexican!! I have no idea if the driver was Mexican!

That's racist! awkward.

A friend of mine from high school died this morning. Don't need hairpats. It's sad but so much is these days.

His family is distraught but also adamant that if the doctors had just listened to them and done vitamin treatments, he'd be fine. I really get being scared. But when did we think we knew better how to treat a deadly disease?

but she says she still wouldn’t have gotten the vaccine because she survived and she’s not sure how her body would’ve reacted to the vaccine. I just can’t with people anymore. People!!!!

I have thoughts about this. Ragey ones.

The suggestions for Cash are a balm. Thinking of you with love, Cash.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, your feets are pretty important. They take you everywhere.

Facts. My "yoga" class tonight was like 1/3 self foot massage. I put yoga in quotes because my teacher literally threw in a downward dog at the end so people would think it was a yoga class. She's hilarious.

Seriously, wtf.

I want that yoga teacher! Not that I've done yoga in ages, but she sounds fab.

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

I believe I do not need a referral for an in-network podiatrist and have scheduled an appointment next week to have someone look at my feets.

Ooh, good intel, as I needed to have my foot tended to and I've been thinking I'd have to wend my way through the discouraging referral process.

I really just want an accessible clinic with Nurse Practitioners and referrals 90% of the time.

Trufax. I stand corrected.

Ooh, good intel, as I needed to have my foot tended to and I've been thinking I'd have to wend my way through the discouraging referral process.

When I started looking for an in-network podiatrist, the site said "you may require a referral!" And I was like, you are my insurance, why can you not tell me if I need a fucking referral? So I dug around my insurance plan some more and found a list of specialists that don't require referrals if they're in-network and another (shorter) list that do. But I can report back on Bay Area Foot Care at 1 Shrader!

Our wings are not tired.

Today we celebrate the birth of JenP! May it be a most delightful day, followed by a year of love and joy.

Yay for well-loved and cared for feets.

Thrive to spite them

Feet are important ! I was going to see a podiatrist but then I got furloughed and not being on my feet and, I think, walking barefoot in the grass almost every day for weeks really helped them.

It also helps that M gives great foot massages and I can get them almost every day

I really need to invest on more shoes bit between the shape of my feet and my problems it makes them ard to find. Although my wider toe box and narrow heels are probably a bigger obstacle .

Trufax. I stand corrected

I see what you did there. Nice.

ETA: Thank you, Laura!
