Forward, March (minirants)

Kitty Roca.

Yeah tomatoes, spices and tea

Ugh. My mother is allergic to tomatoes and a lot of other stuff too. Not fun.

Sometimes I will just say fuck it and eat whatever abd have my pain pills ready. Lol

Dear boss, I’m having a bad cystic acne day. My face hurts and I look a fright. I can’t get the day off for that, so I told you I have a migraine. Result is similar, I’m still in bed and taking ibuprofen.

This is such a lame, privileged whine that I’m almost afraid to post it, but here I am. I had so much writing to do the end of last quarter. I’ve never done that much writing in my LIFE. I was completely wiped out when I was finished. Here it is 12 days later, the first day of a new quarter. Nooooooo. I don’t wanna go back! :frowning: I feel like I’m still recovering! I enjoy being back in college, but damn, I’m tired.

Squatty Potty has the worst commercial I’ve ever seen in the history of worst commercials. Judge for yourself.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK. Squatty Potty is AMAZING and the commercial is INSPIRED.

There are Spanish versions where the dude is called el príncipe Pagafantas… I’m assuming that translation isn’t oficial, as a pagafantas (“pays-for-sodas”) is a dude who’s always paying drinks for women who wouldn’t see him as an object of sexual attraction if he was the last man on Earth (or any other planet. Or universe), in hopes that some day they will realize he is the man of their dreams. Fitting label, mind you, he does sound like one.

You know what commercial is in heavy rotation on my preferred morning news channel?

1-877-KARS-FOR-KIDS…

:mad:

My right arm and hand have had that tingling feeling that says it’s asleep, and it’s BEEN that way since I got out of bed at 6 this morning. Plus I forgot my water bottle at home and my soda in the car. It’s a trivially annoying morning, I suppose, but it’s got me feeling grumbly.

One day I would like to experience rich people’s problems.

One day I’d like rich people to experience poor people’s problems.

Really mini-rant. Went to fill a prescription yesterday and thought the price was a little high, asked them about it and was told it was because of the deductible. Our plan year runs from July 1 to June 30, I had the same prescription filled in December and also thought it was a little high then and was told it was because of the deductible. The deductible used to be $50 on prescriptions so I thought I was done with the deductible in December. Was told to call the insurance company. Called them this morning and was told I have to reach the medical deductible and that there is no longer just a prescription deductible. I’m on the high-deductible plan so I will probably never meet it. It truly sucks.

VERY mini rant.

I’d like to get organized around my household. One objective is going to be to clear off all the clothes that are on TOP of the dresser. To that end I am trying to obtain a valet stand. Something along the lines of this.

Shouldn’t be that big a deal to find, right? Well, maybe not, IF YOU DON’T MIND NOT BEING ABLE TO JUST GO TO A STORE AND PICK ONE UP! The trouble is, I DO mind that. I’m happy to put the damn thing together, but I think I should be able to put it together within an hour of deciding that I want it.

This is the most serious drawback to the ascendancy of online shopping.

If you’d like to save some floor space and aren’t already utilizing the back of the bedroom door, I’ve found those back of door coat rack thingies immensely useful, I use hangers with them. Shirts get hung on the hanger proper, and pants get buttoned and then just hung by the fly from the neck of the hanger with the shirt they go with. If I’m super organized the night before, I’ll put underwear and socks in the pants pockets. Target has a decent selection.

I already have an over-the-door coat and robe rack, but thanks for the tip about underwear in the pockets.

I had to start plucking my eyebrows they grow so weird.

We found out yesterday that my wife’s workplace decided to drop autism coverage from the insurance to save money. Naturally, we found out by the place we were going to start our son’s therapy with running the insurance and getting a big ole “Nope”.

Quite a few do eventually, but by then they don’t have any power.
