kittydesadeSo, um. That whole dental thing that was alternately freaking me out and annoying me? Yeah, it turns out that at least on the first visit the endodontist did... something? I have no idea what or how considering my plan numbers were only quasi-legible. And yesterday a check came in the mail reimbursing me for the insurance portion of the exam. Which was less than half of it because dental insurance is a fucking train wreck, but still. That... okay? I mean, at that rate I'm going to wait another two weeks and see if a check turns up for the first chunk of the root canal, and then if it doesn't then I guess I'll call them. Just. Weird. But in a good way. Between that and the lower premium for next year's health care, things are looking up in the finances department.
So the Cubs won the World Series (which of course some wit on Twitter wondered aloud why it was the World Series when 95% of the teams are American) and there was much rejoicing because the boy was originally from Chicago. The other hilarious part was when I decided to put on Cubs makeup (Fyrinnae's Midnight Dreary and Femme Fatale's now discontinued Ruby Wings) for the boy, and later ended up chatting with the braintwin and she completely independently mentioned better go put on the Midnight Dreary. Because apparently we have the same idea of what constitutes Cubs blue makeup.
Today my work at my day job involves knitting and tidying. I can live with this. There's a couple of yarns that they want me to sample-knit and I'm almost the only knitter with working hands today, certainly the only one who isn't busy now that shipping's quieted the hell down. And then the tidying is just because I haven't been keeping up with it over craft fair season.
Did make it through capoeira last night although it was awkward because Groot started us off with running and because I've been unusually active the last year and a half I decided this was fine! (VO: It was not fine.) And so after maybe an eighth of a mile's worth of running around the room I collapsed wheezing like I always do, and that brought me down to maybe half wind the rest of the practice. Still. I got some things to remember and practiced a bunch of basics I could have stood to practice, and got to see people. And ended up making ridiculous numbers of dirty jokes with das Deutschkind because... I don't remember what motion it was but she said something about scissor (there is actually a capoeira move/stance called 'scissor' in portuguese) and we looked at each other and busted up laughing. It got worse from there. So that was a lot of fun.
And writing continues not quite at the pace that it needs to be at to make word count for the year, but close. More than, at the pace I need to maintain to finish Nanowrimo for the year. So things are looking up, apart from the election stress which is going to give me ulcers, or would if ulcers were a thing you get from stress.
No, what I need to do is do more capoeira exercises while I'm at home, even if it's just ten minutes at a time. And keep doing writing and crafts and for the love of all that is stable and even keep off of Five Thirty Eight ugh.
