We were in Newton, at the first aid tent with Eric's aunt, (not) passing out bananas and water at Mile 18. They closed the stations down and dispersed the personnel.  They wouldn't let anyone into the city, so Eric's aunt took us to my folks' house and I notified my boss et. al. that I wouldn't be at work tomorrow ( Read more... )

I used to have PMS.  I went on birth control pills and the symptoms were pretty much mitigated for a while ( Read more... )

I went to Harvard Dental School today for my appointment, and it was mostly a good experience.  The exception to the general positivity of the experience being the receptionist was a little abrupt when I went to the front desk but didn't know who my doctor was or which window to go to right away.  (I explained it was my first time there and no one ( Read more... )

10.  (Nicely) get the caff to adequately mark vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, because they've just started offering "vegetarian" options with fish, chicken broth, and other non vegetarian ingredients.  Ugh.  I ended up recruiting another vegetarian who worked in the STD unit with me to help orchestrate a phone calling and email writing campaign ( Read more... )

1.  Save enough money to go to the dentist.  Go to the dentist. (I don't have dental insurance and I do have a lot of other bills, so this is tricky.  However, I've just climbed out of a pit of insurance crap, so I'm feeling optimistic.)

Bwahhahahhahahaha!  No.  I think the closest I got was to make a list for a number of prospective dentists in ( Read more... )

For the past few weeks my meds haven't been holding up as well, and they cut out pretty much entirely when I came down with the Drippy Cold From Hell last week, so I've gotten an adjustment to a maintenance dose of 20mgs of Lexapro, which should fix it.  I knew I was in trouble last night when I was reading a book on Robert Oppehenheimer, and it ( Read more... )
