Things that help when making coffee: adding coffee grounds to the machine. Yeah, when I looked over I was like "why is my coffee so pale? It's like just water...oh"

Menopause has been glorious (why isn't it called menostop? Oh, yeah, because of the stealth visitors that have kept me from throwing out all those supplies just yet).

And I know about Shark Week on Discovery as well. I just hang out a lot on Ravelry, and the blood in the water has a different source.

I am finally having my coffee. I didn't feel like making my own decaf and I figure I could use the caffeine, as sluggish as I feel today, so I went to fill my cup from the office coffeemaker. It's got two carafes, one for the double-strength coffee and one for the regular. The regular carafe was sitting on the upper burner, which was turned off, not completely cooled off but not hot, and holding, as it turned out, not quite a full cup of coffee. So I ended up with a lukewarm not full cup of coffee and still had to make coffee so the next person who wants some won't be out of luck.

I'd say I shoulda stayed home today, but I considered and decided I had to come in because (and I know this is stupid) I had left my water bottle on my desk yesterday and I couldn't face a full day at home without it.

Gud, I don't know to implement your advice in a practical way re: Shark Week. Does that mean I should spend every day sitting on the couch watching as much TV as possible?

Insurance website is still saying we aren't covered, even though Tim's HR person has talked to them twice and Humana said we're covered. Super annoying. Because if the website says we aren't covered, I can't just tell CVS "But the Humana rep on the phone SAID we were covered! Promise!"

My Rx is generic Lexapro, so it shouldn't be expensive to pay out of pocket, but that's not the point. Stupid Humana.

On Monday I put together a whole new outfit for ita, but today I realize I wear pink and black all the time! I'm wearing it today! But somehow, it needed to be a button-up shirt for ita. Unclear why.

Makes sense to me, Jesse.

Humana does not.

My double chocolate muffin tastes like something that is not chocolate. And also chocolate, it's not totally mislabeled, but I was not expecting this other flavor.

Humana does not.Humana does not.

You know how sometimes we'll post about a problem (missing paycheck, where is my Amazon package, etc.), and then it suddenly gets solved? I keep hoping that will happen here.

HUMANA I AM POSTING ABOUT YOU. Fix this shit.

That really should work.

That's super obnoxious, Teppy.

I am sad I did not win the powerball. Not even a little bit. But that means I could still win Saturday, if I buy another ticket??

Also figured out why I had a mysterious $78 difference on my corporate card--I didn't miss a charge, I had a $90 fee...but also accidentally paid a $12 charge twice! So 90-12=mysterious 78. Whew. The extra $12 was back in March, so good I figured it out now, I guess

But that means I could still win Saturday, if I buy another ticket??

I've heard that nobody won. Which means....
