Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mmmmmm, fog. One of my all-time fave cheeses.

In Stupid Things are Stupid news:

I got a letter (in the Actual Mail) from my insurance company that One Medical billed the wrong BCBS for my last physical back in April. (Fortunately it was a letter of the "you don't have to fix this because it's not your fault" variety.) Now I get that BCBS is massive and there are a zillion regional plan variations and it's probably incredibly common for doctor's offices to click the wrong thing, BUT...

One Medical is owned by Amazon. I am an Amazon employee on an Amazon-provided insurance plan. My One Medical membership is an Amazon employee benefit. There should be ZERO confusion about who is paying for all of this.

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

That's infuriating, Jess.

Trying to remember if I have actually had Humboldt Fog. Possibly not. I tend to be wary of goat cheese, - when it's good it's good but when it's too goaty it's not something I'd choose to eat. I did have Breakfast Cheese for breakfast today, which is always a treat.
