Ooo. I should have some right now. I like to slather it with butter and just nom on down.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Many happy returns of the day, Tom!

That's pretty cool!
I don't want to complain (too much) about our health insurance, because in the past 6 years Tim has had 4 major surgeries and then cancer treatment, and we aren't bankrupt, and in the hellscape that passes for the United States' healthcare system, that's honestly huge. We're fine, financially; we had to slow down our retirement contributions somewhat, but when the alternative is literally bankruptcy many times over, again, I can't complain.
But I am going to complain! Just a small one, though. Our insurance is so fucking weird about telehealth visits. They covered them during the first couple of Covid years, and then decided the pandemic was over and they wouldn't cover telehealth any more. I legitimately forgot about that, had a telehealth visit last month, and now I have a $150 bill because insurance is like, fuck you, we'll cover surgeries and chemo and radiation and your expensive migraine meds and rheumatoid arthritis meds, but god help you if you want to sit on your couch and talk to your doctor via Zoom. Seriously, my dudes? You baffle me.
Again, given the choice, I'm super glad to not be bankrupt from all the surgeries and cancer treatment, but it's just fucking weird that telehealth is a no-no.
