the way that i am choosing to get up at 5:30 in the morning to go swim probably 3k yards of freestyle for an hour and fifteen minutes tomorrow...............

going to shape and buff fingernails and do very very sheer polish... just bc i want to actually keep something on lol

my previous employer insurance deductible applied to almost everything but it was like $500 so i always hit it immediately which worked fine. but this deductible through my new employer does not apply to everything so i hadn't hit it yet and it is. more than $500.

also everyone at work had been bitching about how bad the dental insurance was (they actually changed it for next plan year for this reason!) but in my head i was like well it isn't That bad, based on a routine appointment i had last year, and then this year i had to actually have dental care beyond routine procedure and it was like $600 and i was like. Oh! i see!!!

i was expecting that to be like $200-$400 though 😔

i once called to query the math on a bill and they were like "oh yeah, we got that wrong!" and then they charged me double sjfhsjfhjs. like oh damn, i should've kept my mouth shut 😭

yeah i'm concerned about this 😅 i do have a health insurance deductible that applies here which i thought did not so that's. on me. but. i don't know where the rest of it came from

and actually now that I've figured out the deductible thing i think it's $200 less than i would have otherwise done the math for so Nevermind!!

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

I hope there will come a day when the general population of the internet will understand the complex concept of "The fact that a woman sang a song does not necessarily mean that she is using the lyrics to report, with the greatest factual accuracy that her overly emotional little lady-brain can manage, real events that actually happened in her real life and to express her genuine deepest feelings about those events with perfect sincerity and a totally straight face." I realize that this will require a lot of people to learn difficult lessons like "Women can write things that are not autobiographical" and "Women can have a sense of humor" and "Women can understand and choose to follow or consciously subvert the genre conventions of an art form." I still hold out hope for that day, even though it is not this day.
