I'm feeling very bouncy today. I slept very deeply, without any bad dreams. I got a full eight hours in (of course I woke up an hour late, but it didn't matter, as Tamara was to futzing with various cars for the next half hour anyway). Last night, I wrote. Ifeel like I'll write more today and I've set a modest daily goal for myself. I'm picking up Alex at the airport after work-- he's visiting from Seattle for the weekend. I'm going out dancing with bunnies tonight. And Brett called and invited me to dine with him at Google between work and the airport, and you know, the pleasure of an invitation is hardly diminished at all by my having to ask for it and my not being able to go (car problems made me late for work, so I'm going to stay late so I get my 8 hours of pay). But best of all.. .

I got me some health insurance!!!  Oh man, I am so excited. I sent my boss an email yesterday afternoon timidly pointing out thatmy student coverage would expire soon and that I can't afford to pay for my prescriptions on my own, so at the very least could I please know if and when to expect benefits so that if there is a gap I can make other arrangements (not that I have any idea about what other arrangements I could make, as someone who can't afford to buy pills,can't afford to buy insurance, and even if I could buy very expensive insurance, I would still have to pay for my meds out of pockets, as ADDand depression fall under the category of 'pre-existingconditions.' I wouldn't be surprised if private insurance refused to pay for my birth control, too, because, you know, my reproductive system is pre-existing; I can imagine being told that if I had begun menarche while I was on their plan they could have covered me, but since I've been menstruating since well before I joined, there's just nothing they can do).

Well, I was kind of nervous and frightened about getting a response. Not that I thought my boss would be mean about it, but,I don't know, I just don't like asking for things.

This morning when I got to work there was a reply waiting in my inbox for me that said oh, of course I could have benefits, and oh, we'll just give this HR and move all this right along, and oh, if things don't move fast enough, well, just let someone know and you'll be on the phone haggling over mental health premiums with an insurance rep before you can say boo.

So that was nice. And now I'm happy.

So I like my job again today. Plus, I'm working more, which means I'm not so bored and useless feeling. I'm going to try to string out this wave of benefits enthusiasm for as long as I can, and have a more positive attitude about my job.

Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.

L’interet du forum est precisement de susciter un debat parmi les citoyens pour que le budget et les choix qu’il sous-tend soient places au c?ur du debat public. Un budget, ce sont des choix. Des choix supposent des priorites.

My life's been generally bland today. I just don't have anything to say recently. I guess it doesn't bother me. Basically nothing seems worth doing, but I don't care.

Pretty much nothing seems worth doing. I've just been letting everything happen without me these days. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen, but whatever.

I've just been letting everything pass me by , but so it goes. I just don't have much to say these days. Pfft. I can't be bothered with anything. More or less nothing seems worth doing. I haven't gotten much done recently, but oh well.
