The Plus Side of Being Stubborn
Not Terminated, it's fixed! Raineth reigns triumphant.
This is one of the many reasons why I have a lot of tools & a lot of patience for some things: whilst I was listening to/halfway watching The Terminator, I finally fixed my vacuum cleaner (correctly). Yay! Using the little hand vac was beginning to get old.
Damn, I love gadgets & motors & things that look like they should be doing something else, but aren't. Whoo hoo!
I made some chicken boobs with a coconut milk-curry-ginger sauce with sliced almonds, and some Jasmin rice for tomorrow's work lunch. I did a sink full of dishes, finally went through a week's worth of mail (ugh! somebody send me something I actually want to read, please!), did some finger painting (quit laughing), and read through some more of my "destruction" manual for my camera. I'm not happy with what I'm getting, so I need to figure out what I'm not doing right.
Now, I just want to say-- not unlike a line from Lethal Weapon-- they fuck you in the drive thru! But not really, since someone can die while waiting to be seen, at the ER. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS for my two visits to the ER. Thank goodness I have insurance, and will "merely" pay $500. I thought it was going to be more, but I miscalculated my deductible.
I will not stomp on my soapbox in frustration over our health care system, right now. Just know that I think it sucks-- but I suppose it's better than nothing.
Cheers & All
