Oh, Debet, I missed your post. I'm sorry, that is such a drag for everyone!
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

They actually advised us of that, too, but I forgot. Thanks for the reminder!

Ugh I hate when I gear up to do the onerous task and then it fails. I called the doctors office to make an appointment for vaccines and they were like “oh we are out, we may get more tomorrow so call back next week”. I was like “…can I call Friday if you’re getting more tomorrow?” And she was like well yeah. wtf. I’m not trying to make an appointment for today.

That is the nice thing about OneMedical - I can drop-in anytime without an appointment (to any office) to get vaccines or blood draws.
Oofdah, I've got a Zoom call with my financial advisor and my accountant in 20 minutes and it's going to be very complicated. I've got frickin' notes everywhere.
Bonus: the big IRA JZ inherited from her dad, which came to me has Required Minimum Distributions and I haven't been taking them because (a) I wasn't 65 yet and didn't know I had to; and (b) there are big IRS penalties for not doing so. So...probably kinda fucked on that one.

My mom has that on what she refers to as her pension (which I think she inherited from her dad). She doesn't include those in her budget, just uses them for unexpected expenses or gifts and it's worked out well for her so far. Hopefully you can catch up or something.
