Making arrangements to get help with panic attacks/anxiety.

Insurance rep: "Your mental health copay is $30 and your maximum lifetime benefit is 5 million dollars."

Me: "...hopefully I won't need that much."

Good to know I can still make strangers laugh.

  • 04:40 The weekend flew by. Serious case of the Mondays. Think I need a vacation which doesn't involve family emergencies for a change.
  • 10:10 Just got my hair cut. Um... I didn't ask for the dril sergeant look. Maybe it was my charming persoanlity that made it seem appropriate?

We're starting to realize we need more than one little dresser for the two of us, and not having a headboard for the bed is getting old. Only problem is it's hard to find a nice California king bedroom set. It has to be Cal king because I'm a giant. So far we're thinking about this one. Anyone have any cool furniture sites to suggest?

  • 13:55 At Dr Diskin's getting an eye exam. Everyone here is always so great. Might get some new frames or sunglasses.
  • 14:42 OMG BIFOCALS?!
  • 10:13 Handling the bifocals news by thinking about my new frames. They're CHROME. Seriously. Not silver. More shiny. They will rock.

My black & white trail mix formula

It's a good snack, you should try it.

One part dark chocolate covered raisins
One part yogurt covered raisins
One part roasted peanuts
Two parts sliced almonds
Two or three parts rain forest or plain granola
Two or three parts honey nut Chex cereal

I intend to add cashews one of these days too.

  • 07:51 Oh, E-Trade... why call it a "quick online transfer" if it takes 7 business days?
  • 09:18 I'm a big fan of Korto Momolu on Project Runway. Not only is she awesome, saying her name is fun. Korto Momolu. Korto Momolu. Korto Momolu.

  • 18:22 Dr said Ryan dislocated his shoulder & gave him painkillers. Fortunately it had already popped back into place. He's drugged & sleeping now.
  • 18:23 And also, after working nights for 4.5 years, still amazed people don't understand you can't just call to chat in the afternoon.

  • 05:04 This is the best thing ever... especially when the lyrics kick in tinyurl.com/5c3kak
  • 07:23 Waiting for urgent care to open... Ryan's shoulder sorta popped out of joint and now he's in a lot of pain. Feel really bad for him.
  • 08:04 This is our 2nd trip to the Dr this weekend. Yesterday it was an insect bite on my foot that got swollen & gross. Antibiotics are helping.
  • 08:07 They let us in before opening hours & are seeing him now. Really nice folks at TX Med Clinic. Hope his shoulder isn't too jacked up.

  • 07:16 Lots of excitement today... there's a charge in the air around here. It's really cool.
  • 08:47 Really proud to be a Racker today!
