Me, to myself: Come on, you've been doing such a good job, why are you having so much trouble staying on task now, nothing's DIFFERENT--
Me: ::looks at a clock::

Still no word on why my insurance got un-renewed, and my plans for a heavy duty trash and organize-before-stash day (TX weather is being hideous, today is an Inside Day) got sidetracked by a decent but unexpected and long conversation with my mother.

I don't know what hoop I missed or mangled, but I've just finished fielding the call checking on whether or not I was no longer being covered by my insurance group/TX Medicaid. No, I sure didn't, cause my renewal went in on the 30th with no problems.

The website is unhelpful - just DENIED, no explanation. I'm gonna wait for the email I'm supposed to get.

I got actual sleep for the first time in I honestly can't remember how many days, and feel largely okay -- but I sound HILARIOUSly awful. I can breathe, so I'm leaving it be, but I keep cracking myself up every time I go HRRRRNK when distractedly trying to clear my throat.

Lo, and I am home.

Slow lorising my way into fresh clothes that I can wear out of the house, so I don't get sidetracked & forget to get the rent check to the bank today. (First two days of the month, we get a discount, but then it goes up the aforementioned discounted $50, and I would just. Rather not.)

My knees are making (painless! thankfully) delightfully horrifying popping popcorn sounds when I bend and/or extend the joint. I'm on my way to find a heating pad (there's supposed to be some Weather blowing in, as well as yo-yoing temps in the next couple days), but still stopped to bend&extend my leg a couple times & so I could listen, first.

Max has continued the morning's trend of being a mild but persistent nuisance, so I guess I'm up.

My mom has multiple water dishes set up in the cat feeding area. My cat? Now requires that I have a giant mug of water in my space too, and drinks out of it regularly. If I don't keep it there, he'll try to drink out of whatever cup I'm currently using, regardless of contents.
