way too much information, insurance guy

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

My mom decided that while I was here, we should look into switching my car insurance from Progressive to a less-expensive company... you see, I originally was with this less expensive company, but I had a few... snafus, shall we say. Anyway, three years has passed and so now it's time ...

the best part of Easter…

Cadbury eggs. Disgusting, yes, but disgusting in a drooly, delicious, yummy kind of way? Absolutely. :) And did you know that they now make a 12-pack of mini Cadbury eggs?! Holy crap, they are wonderful. No goo on your hands (well, less anyway) and, y'know, there's 12 of them. (I also like ...

numbers day… 2.9

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

Well my bili only dropped .9, so unfortunately, it's still not normal. On the other hand, all of my other numbers have dropped out of the red. My dad's decided that I probably definitely have Gilbert's, and this cold (and other stress, like work and not going home) will probably keep my ...

sobering

Monday, March 13th, 2006

Well I've finally been found out. The people know that I'm in town and I've already had two phone calls and three emails today. Word spreads like the bloody plague around here, sheesh. I've started looking for airfare to go home, so I'm still trying to slip out without having to ...

horrifying things to do at midnight

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

Check an old email account, find an email from an old high school detailing their recent admittance to the weird world of MySpace, click on the link and subsequently find scads of high school friends (all still living in this area) on MySpace. Oh. dear. sweet. misery. Somehow, in the several years ...

explaining the numbers

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

For her, I shall explain what the hell I've been talking about for two months. Bilirubin: This number says the quantity of bile salt that's in your blood. Typically the number is between .2 and 1. As it rises, bile salt backs up in your blood stream and your skin starts ...

3.8… donkey balls

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

At least it's not rising, that's what I keep telling myself. My AST dropped to within normal range and my albumen is very high (which means, THANK GOD, I can stop eating bacon)... but my ALT is still high and the bili's at a 3.8 (normal is .2 to 1). Argh. I ...

dealing with the tax man

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

We're doing our taxes today. Because for part of last year I was self-employed, there was a good chance I was going to owe the IRS somewhere in the vicinity of $2000. Needless to say, I was stressed this morning. Then the tax guy came, did some magic with his pencil and ...

living with dad

Friday, March 3rd, 2006

He cooks breakfast (good). He gives me meds (eh, hard to say). He plays with my cats (very cute). He won't let me drink any liquor (bad). Granted, I have a liver problem, but I'm back living at my parent's house (for the time being) and a girl needs a drink. Somebody get ...
