I always worked in my office with music on so when I was home it was natural to have the tv going. I don't always know what is happening in a movie/show or miss songs completely from concentration but I can't do quiet. I always work with the TV on at home, i need to have a show that's light and i don't really need to pay attention to but it helps me focus. Oddly music has the opposite affect and i can't have it on I binged a lot of Bravo and other reality shows during my time off. See also Young and the Restless and General Hospital |

piratecatI was at the dentist today, too. My insurance actually covers it so that’s a good point. I made ds3’s first appointment and will bring all three at once….seems smart now but December me is going to be pretty mad.

All three of my kids have hand, foot and mouth disease. The 2yo has the worst rash so far and is miserable. Sleep was almost nonexistent last night. The 4yo is feeling good and just has some spots around his mouth. The 7yo has a fever and sore throat that started yesterday evening. I called their pediatrician and talked to a nurse for some guidance. We have not had a single week since school started where someone wasn’t sick. It’s unreal. Last night I was holding the toddler and he coughed directly into my nose and eyeballs so I feel my time is coming. I liked for commiseration. HFM sucks. |

I made the next appointment for both kids and I'm not looking forward to paying twice what I paid today. I'm going to look into dental insurance before the next appointment. |

I’m feeling really down about myself today. Physically and mentally. I need to snap out of it. Big hugs for you ❤️ If it helps at all, I think you're amazing. |

The health insurance that we have actually covers dental visits until age 12. Is it possible yours does too? |

An important meeting did not go well for me today. Pre-Covid I used to do them all the time. Apparently I lost my mojo in the past 19 months. It’s not a good feeling.

It was really the only good thing about my old insurance. |

It's rainy and cold and I'm working in front of the fire with hot coffee and it feels so nice and cozy. Jealous!! I'm thinking of buying one of those electric fire places tv stand things. It's pouring here, cold downstairs but just perfect upstairs. |

Botox has served me well but cannot stand up against a nor'easter. I'm hurting today. I'm on day 5 of some level of headache, thanks to my period late last week and now this. I have taken too many meds, too, I know it. I hope you can get some relief. I hope you both find relief! |

I walked out to my garage to get my umbrella that was drying and found water leaking from my roof! That area shares a wall with DD's room. Went upstairs and water coming in three different places down her wall around her window.
This is not a good day. I still have to go to the laundromat since our new washer and dryer arrive next Tuesday.

I used to help my parents prep for winter (chopping and stacking 5 cords of wood in their wood shed). I love the smell of wood! |

piratecatCheck local programs, too. Something like Doctor Dinosaur? My dentist office has some insurance thing that you can buy through them that makes it cheaper. Almost like a punch card.

I had to wake the 4YO this morning and he told me we should get take out on our way home from pick up, eat dinner as soon as we get home, and that he was going to bed straight after dinner. I wish I could hold him to it.

I did remember there are a few low-cost dental clinics in the area so I'm going to look into those for the kids before their next appointment. $170 was after the 10% self-pay discount. 😒 |

It's pouring here, cold downstairs but just perfect upstairs. I have one of those electric fire tv stands. I don't care if its cheesy, i like the fire affect and it does actually have a heat function on it |

I had a day. Was beat up by a 6 year old (well, she just hit me during a tantrum, but I’ll make it sound worse than it is 😉) and I am TIRED.
Home with the cats and trying to work up the energy to go for a walk. H is out for a bike ride so the house is nice and quiet.

Took my kitten to be spayed at low cost spay neuter clinic Not a mask in sight. Good thing i brought best fitting kn 95. crowded ass little waiting room. Can wait outside but then they dont call your name Gosh. Up from 5oz when I got her to a whole 5lb 11 at 6 mos. She was so well behaved while they examined her. Quoting myself to add that luckily this spay plus vac and extra pain meds for 3 days post op is only $95. I've been waiting for this appt cause 2 months ago I called around to find a spay appt and got a quote of $600!!! Several others the quote was over $250 plus the vet visit and labs and and well it would have been $500 probably Gosh how does anyone get their cat spayed? The normal cost of neutering is one reason I tell people what a deal they're actually getting if they adopt from a good shelter. People sometimes don't understand those $100-200+ or so adoption fees, or think they're crazy high, but when you consider chipping, neutering, etc., it's quite the financial bargain. Let alone what a wonderful animal you're liable to get. And thank goodness for all the pro's who work or volunteer at the low cost pet medical clinics. Who knows how many lives they've helped by providing those services? Glad your baby came through fine and crossing fingers for a quick, easy recovery. |
