I’m just so thrilled (sarcasm) that the health insurance premium issue became a “let’s talk about it later” when I need to figure out my ACA insurance for 2026.
I’m genuinely glad SNAP was restored and the government workers are returning to work with back pay, but I would love it if this could stop being the worst timeline.
What?! It’s, um, very close to 2026.
Forgot a pump part, realized when I was already on the train. Everything is so stupid
Oh no this is the worst. I’m sorry
One of my work friends is out on paternity leave and my other work friend is on intermittent medical leave so she’s not around today, so I’ve been trying to slack a new work friend bits. She doesn’t get my sense of humor and keeps asking what’s wrong. How can I work without doing bits at the same time
You send them to meeeeee
Ok done
It was too foggy here to see the Northern Lights. 
My mortgage servicing company changed their website and there is no longer nice easy access to a bunch of very handy payoff calculators that were VERY motivating to me in making extra payments.
12 years ago I was given a paper chart with each month’s principal and interest numbers for the entire 30 years. Whenever I paid extra I put a new line at the month my extra payment moved me to. Super lowbrow but it was nice to see that I was at like month 200 when I had owned the house for like 75 months or whatever it was. When I kind of freaked out at closing about paying more interest than principal for like half of the time the loan officer said “yeah, it’s better not to look at that.” Ha.
Yeah I’m doing that now. I spent like an hour today making my spreadsheets happy lol. (We’ve owned the house for 18 months but are at month 23 on the mortgage!)
Yay!
Add “printer ink” to the list of things that are now stupidly expensive. OUCH.
Had an appt with my back pain doctor. We talked for about 30 sec about how I was feeling, he suggested another injection and said “let me check on the availability” and left the room in a very casual way that suggested he was just popping out to check something. Then just never came back? His MA said oh yep that was the whole appointment! Bye! Literally a $45 copay, an hour of driving and he couldn’t even give me 60 seconds for two questions I had. I cannot. I know docs are busy, but there’s no excuse for that 
I would be very tempted to complain about that / switch doctors
What the fuck.
I commented something to the MA when she told me, and she was uninterested in doing anything about it, so I left. When I walked out I did make a comment to the receptionist and she apologized but shrugged
It’s hard when you are a pain management patient, because you want to seem agreeable and nice and happy, because docs control your treatment and basically seem to dislike all patients with chronic pain that they can’t just fix with a quick procedure or medication. I know treating chronic pain is hard, also living with chronic pain is hard! Both parties need to be understanding.
Anyway, it’s just so sad that every time I go to the doctor it reinforces the kind of doctor I never want to become. I hope I never make anyone feel this way
That was such BS and you deserve much better
I have reached absolute BEC with a friend who is slowly losing my friendship.
Maybe it’s time to speed up?
