Update: Our healthcare system still sucks, but my endodontist does not. She agreed to do nothing but put in for approval today, and then do two teeth in the same appointment when insurance deems me worthy. This was the compassionate choice, and I'm very grateful she made it.

Again, I know my tone is not bluesky's Tone of the Day. Sorry about it. I am a very obvious unfollow right now, so go with god.

Because primal screaming is frowned upon in endodontists' waiting rooms, all-caps incoming:
I AM EXPERIENCING IMMENSE PAIN AND SEVERE ANXIETY SO IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE ME ON TIME THEN AT LEAST DON'T HAVE IT BE BECAUSE YOU'RE GABBING WITH YOUR RECEPTIONISTS ABOUT THE GODDAMMNED SUPER BOWL!

I'm waiting for a root canal on a tooth that is not causing me excruciating pain. The one that is causing me excruciating pain? I'm going to have to wait at least 5 days for insurance to decide I deserve to get it treated. I am broken, and our healthcare system is unforgivably broken.

The Challenger was a major pivot point for me in how I viewed the world. It seems almost quaint now, but it was a massive national trauma at the time. If your Gen X friends seem extra blue today, this might be why.

The thing about bluesky is I was going to post about how I'm low-grade depressed about my car being trapped under a mountain of snow, but instead I got hit with a wall of people arguing over what degree of abject hopelessness is acceptable when discussing the descent of the US into fascism.

If anyone just saw that ad and is thinking about checking out Whatnot, please contact me for a referral link and we'll both get free money out of it. Fwiw, that has become my primary social media-esque home over the past few months. Very fun, very addictive.
