Write about three things you did for the first time in the past year. (reach-back to 2016) From November 18, 2016: Okay, so three things I’ve done this year that I’d never done before. Please excuse the odd organization; i started with bullets, and I’m not sure if that was the correct way to go. … Continue reading “Twenty-four”
Write about three things you did for the first time in the past year. Okay, so three things I’ve done this year that I’d never done before. Please excuse the odd organization; i started with bullets, and I’m not sure if that was the correct way to go. There’s multiple paragraphs for each. Of course, … Continue reading “Sixteen”
So, today is a free-write day. For whatever reason, my place-holder for this entry was, again, that thing I didn’t want to write about yesterday. I’m still very much driven the past few days on figuring out next steps. Thanksgiving was okay, though, in full consideration, we are so out-of-sync with what some family members … Continue reading “Twenty-four”
Free-write I drafted this a few months ago. I’m trying to get out some of the stuff that’s stuck in my drafts queue. I’ve complained, perhaps incessantly, about the stupidity that is LinkedIn. Late last week, I got a suggestion that I connect with my father. My dad died nearly eight years ago. Words fail. … Continue reading “Three”
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve really made an effort to really withdraw from social media. There are many reasons for this. Google and Facebook. I was utterly disgusted listening to the Senate testimony a few weeks ago. The company who used to have the principle of “don’t be evil,” is now okay doing things … Continue reading “Withdraw”
Getting things set up for my Tysabri infusion is getting to be incredibly frustrating. Again. I told the nurse at the infusion site, “This is getting to be —-a-frustrating.” No kidding. I was due for my infusion yesterday. They couldn’t get the paperwork straightened out, so who knows when I’ll actually get it. This is … Continue reading “Twenty-one (8/9)”
Actually making some progress with the various things related to relocation. Still very unhappy about how all of this has transpired, but it’s completely awesome that the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act has pushed everyone into “employer-sponsored” healthcare through some really bad companies. For the past few years, I”d purchased insurance through the oh-so-wonderful … Continue reading “Eleven (7/30)”
Before I start in to the prompt I’d selected, I was reading through some of what I’d written last summer. It totally seems like a different life. I was unemployed, prior to my re-entry into the cluserfuck that I’d left a little more two years before. During my thing yesterday, I mentioned that when I … Continue reading “Two (7/21)”
Yesterday was bad. A lot of the day I spent watching coverage of what was going on in Charlottesville. (How does Chrome’s inline spell-check think that I misspelled that?) It doesn’t matter, though. People are lining up on two sides. I, naturally, hold both groups with disdain. Who’s worse? The neo-Nazis. No question. But the … Continue reading “13”
I’m on the phone with a hospital system, trying to figure out payment stuff. The medication I’m on for MS is incredibly expensive. They pay up to my out-of-pocket maximum on my nearly $700/mo. plan through the Federal Exchange. Even if I was currently employed, I’ve not had a job since 2014 that paid benefits … Continue reading “27”
