Elf needs Friday, badly

[annathepiper]

casirafics has brought to my attention that the fine gentlemen over at Penny Arcade have been turned on to the awesomeness that is my B'ys of Great Big Sea. (Or at any rate, the Gabe half of those fine gentlemen, if his last post on the site is any indication.) This delights me beyond all measure. Great Big Sea love continues to spread!

And that was a nice bright spot with which to end my Friday workday, after the way several other things this week have gone. The political events this week have already been expounded upon at length on my Friends list, most notably by solarbird here and by pecunium on several recent posts. I'm not going to go into it in depth here. Suffice to say that I am deeply disgusted at the passage of the torture bill. And that I take only marginal comfort in the knowledge that both of Washington's senators voted against it, and that I did what tiny part I could by urging them to do exactly that.

Today was annoying on the grounds that I'm finally eligible to sign up for insurance via the Times, and I've done that, except that last night I came home to find that we'd received the wrong insurance cards in the mail. Which meant, or so I found out this morning, that I'd filled out the wrong option on the form. Grr. So I had to check with HR the minute I got to my keyboard, and ask them what I could do to fix this. Fortunately, since it wasn't October 1st yet, they went ahead and let me fix my form. And they promised to get me cancelled on the wrong insurance and signed up with the right one. But still, it was annoying.

And I'm still not quite stable again on the thyroid dosages either, which isn't helping. I think I'm coming to realize, based on what's happened earlier this year, that the way it seems to work for me is that I'm good at 150mcg for the longest time, except then I get a little too high and need a brief jolt back down again, and then I'm good for another long stretch of 150mcg. So now I'm trying to figure out if I can work out some kind of a schedule of 150's most of the time and the occasional 137, to see if I can stabilize myself at the proper level.

Also, I have a huge bruise on the side of my leg because I hit it against the rim of the bathtub. Ow.

I'll forgive everything this administration has perpetuated as long as my children are authorized to pee on his grave.
