0918 Su * up 8:15; W=198; drugs, nose, teeth, hair, laundry, dishes, light, exercise @ rb | Disaster Preparedness For Disabled/Chronically Ill People @ Isang Litrong Liwanag (A Liter of Light) ( filkertom) @ smallship1: A video which highlights... fluctuating disabilities and how they don't fit into ticky-box disability assessment forms. * Got copy of Mom's memoir. Seems to be missing most of the pictures, but the text is there. @ National Women's Law Center: The decision by the Department of Health and Human Services requiring health insurers to cover a number of women's preventive health care services, including the full range of FDA-approved contraception, with no out-of-pocket costs, is a huge step forward for fairness and improved health outcomes for women and their families. At the same time, it is unfortunate that HHS is intending to exempt some religious employers from providing contraceptive services.... @ utsusemia: Gay YA: a question of intent @kyrielle * 15min: worked on the box of books brought home from CRC when I moved offices a year and a half ago. Box now collapsed; small stack of duplicate and obsolete books to be dealt with. @ def shepherd: Why A Heterosexual, Married, North Carolinian Father Of Three Cares About LGBT Equality @kyrielle * walk: 3mi on Los Gatos Creek Right knee giving serious trouble. Put on a knee brace when I got home; I'll keep it in my shoulder bag. @ elf: The selfishness of ebooks "Books are social. Ebooks are selfish" * suitcase mostly packed * put knee brace in Minnie
A pretty good day; lots of reading, but I also got in a three-mile walk. Not entirely successful; my right knee hurt on and off until I got home and put a brace on it. Said brace is now in my shoulder-bag (with a different one on my knee right now, because it still hurts).
And I have my suitcase mostly packed. For what that's worth, which is not all that much. I'm wondering whether some of what I've been feeling during the last week or so has been anxiety over the trip. Maybe a lot of what I'm feeling.
Several links, the one that most needs a signal boost is National Women's Law Center:

Go over there and sign the petition, if you agree that what services a woman's insurance covers shouldn't depend on where she works.
