Hooray defeating phone trees! Boo insurance/open enrollment shenanigans! $1K a week is BONKERS. I can't think of anything that would be a reasonable price for. Dang.

You should definitely get some health insurance, though, Sophia. Seems like a bad time for a lapse in coverage. HR should understand that!

We don't use Outlook, I didn't know it was out. I think I have one customer who invites me to Team meetings or whatever they are called, that's as close as I come. And I haven't seen those for a while, don't remember who that was.

Pretty frames, Trudes

I missed my window for actual lunch and have been getting by with popcorn, which I am pretty ok with. I bought some assorted "gourmet popcorn" from Costco before Halloween, it's not bad

David, how is Emmett enjoying the new digs?

They love it. They are slowly making finds on FB Marketplace to fill out the place.

He's got an abdominal tear at the moment and can't work until it's healed, but otherwise they're both incredibly happy in their new place.

In fact, I'm having lunch with him tomorrow and giving him his belated birthday present - a king size mattress.
