Even if I was rolling in money, I can't imagine spending $400 on a pair of boots.

If I were rolling in money, I would have NO prob spending $400 on boots. Or bras. Or perfume. Or candles, dresses, coats, sweaters, purses, pillows or wine.

But I would BUY all the books. If I were rich, I'd have a Kindle in all the rooms, and library that would be like biblioporn.

However, I still would not be able to spend $400 on a pair of jeans.

Many vibes for Polgara.

OMG, those red Babycakes are gorgeois.

amyth, we have the fucking trifecta of badass interns this year. All shall love recycling and despair!

And now that I've caught up in Natter, it's past my bedtime.

Poor Polgara! I hope it gets resolved quickly.

I would like to spend $400 on boots.

Of course, I spent $400 on other stuff this weekend, primarily food and blackjack. Good times!

I have not caught up, but maybe tomorrow?

Mnf. No doctor yet for Polgara. Or water.

Maybe not sweaters, but otherwise, yeah. As it is, I finance my boot habit with regular clothing sales.

researching health insurance policies = not fun! Does anyone know is there is such a thing as supplemental insurance (like AFLAC) for mental health stuff?

oh damn. Poor Polgara.

researching health insurance policies = not fun

This seems like the understatement of the century.

My health insurance issue continues to be No Good. I had yet another two people tell me that I should take Grace off my insurance and she'd be covered by Medi-Cal which would be easier. But I don't think it's even true. I think that Medi-Cal would find a way NOT to cover her based on my salary.

And, hand to god, I'm ready to cry. The PT they sent us today wouldn't see Grace because they don't specialize in pediatrics. But that's where we were sent.

I kinda want to cry.

Argh, Kat. I'm so sorry.

In other news, have I talked about my love of Linda Holmes here yet?

She tackles a lesson handed out by reality TV here: [link] The best bits:

I, personally, don't have a lot of time to nurse grudges against my friends, because of rent-paying and grocery-shopping obligations. I mean, I doubt I would anyway, but who would have the energy? Who would babysit my friends' kids if they went to war with me? Who would drive me to the airport if I went to war with them? Getting over grudges is utilitarian. Being somewhat judicious in your choice of things to get incredibly upset about is the only way you're going to have enough time left over to make dinner.

So as you pay your bills and cook your dinner and take your cat to the vet, take a moment and thank your life for containing at least a few small challenges you have to meet on a given day. Your unrelenting routine may be one of your weapons against becoming kind of a horrible person.

Also true of the internet! The busier I am, the less tussling and arguing I do because who has the time?
