Gud, I can relate. Cal took back some of my FSA. They asked me for a receipt (which I'm pretty sure I already gave them) but didn't ask me for it until nearly a year later. By which time I had to sell my house and move. I finally called up Costco Pharmacy and got proof but it was past the arbitrary deadline and no amount of proof would save me. Luckily, it was a small amount. But it still pissed me off.
Haven't walked or biked today. I'm working on a sekrit home demo version of some WB songs to issue as a bonus EP for folks who buy my album. Did a version I liked the night before but decided I needed to sing the extra verses so I tried again today. Just playing the bass line on a MIDI keyboard tired me out and the more tired I got, the more mistakes I made. I was thoroughly exhausted by the time I got the tracks all recorded. I'd like to nap now, in fact.
Actually, I'm resisting the urge to take a hot bath because I'm so chilled. And feeling slightly guilty because it's only in the 50s here and I'm sure many folks here live in places where it's 30s or lower.
Vortex, that dessert sounds heavenly! mmmmm
Yum, everyone's plans sounds so good! Mine is pretty traditional, but I am making my kick-ass ham, among other things. The menu's here: [link]
And had a small break, and now to clean SOME MORE OF THE THINGS!
So, Wills and Kate are getting married on April 29th. A Friday, which I have off! I plan to get the popcorn and watch.
My plans are to clean the hell out of my apartment between now and 11:00 Thanksgiving morning, then drive down to Dad's for the big meal at 1:00 and then to pick up Mom at Midway around 5:00. Dad called to see what he can provide for me, and I just told him to give me raw veggies and a salad, and I'll be okay.
I took a half-day PTO today so I could have my pre-op appointment with my primary care doctor, after which I went to IKEA and finally got the chair bed for Mom to sleep on. It's still in the trunk, because I also stopped by the pet store for Amarna's supplies and then at Walgreens for the beta-blocker the doctor prescribed to bring down my BP for my surgery. I brought up the cat stuff, but just have to schlep back down tonight and get the IKEA stuff out of the trunk (I use my wheely computer chair to transport heavy boxes like the chair frame).
Tomorrow morning, I have to head over the clinic at the hospital for one last blood draw before work, and then get things wrapped up there before heading home and finishing off my cleaning.
The only reason I'm online right now instead of cleaning is that I'm actually about an hour ahead of schedule (IKEA was a lot faster to get in and out of than I thought it'd be), so I'm relaxing--I'm really tired!!
Too pretty to get an interview? I wonder if this applies to LinkedIn profiles too...
Wow, I have always been glad I haven't ever had to fly anywhere for the holidays, and I am ever more happy about that this year. Man, what a clusterfuck this season is going to be.
Kathy, when is your surgery? I can't remember.
Timelies all!
Got back from New Orleans Sunday night. Went to a concert last night, so I'm catching up now. We just got Fios installed, so that should help a bit.
Sympathies to all who need them.
