Bad night last night. My bed wasn’t angled high enough so I had suffocation dreams, ugh, and woke with a headache. Ran some errand when I finally arose. Returned an overdue book to the library and paid my fine. (Last Summer at the Golden Hotel by Elyssa Friedland. So tremendously enjoyable!)

Then I went to the pharmacy to pick up seven refills, but… because they were prescribed by my California doctors, my Oregon insurance won’t cover them! No biggie, I’ll just ask my new Oregon doc to write new prescriptions asap.

In the afternoon I made a little beaded macramé bracelet for Em, for Valentine‘s Day. Sweet Em!

My family came over today! Freyja can sit independently until she topples over and is sprouting a TOOTH. She’ll be six months old in one week. Big sister Lulu is a firecracker! Interested in everything, sharp as a tack, never stops moving. She’s a handful, but as i said to Henry and Jayla, better a handful than a dullard!

Today I bought ant traps. Also I went on an excursion to the Mill End Fabric Store, which is about 8 minutes away and OMGGGGG. They. Have. Everything. It’s a HUGE store crammed full of every fabric and notion you can imagine. Woolens, silks, linens, all different kinds of dressmaking fabrics, a huge selection of quilting cottons, jacket linings, canvas, buckram, backpack hardware, drawers full of buttons, even a small knitting section with woolen yarns! No more frustrating trips to JoAnn’s!

I toured the whole store (till my feet hurt) but was very restrained and only bought a few notions and a yard of green and white striped jersey to make more undies. But I will be back, ohhhhhh yes I will be back.

Argh Dave was planning to drive home today but things are taking longer than he expected so he’s not on the way yet. I’m not lonely (I adore being alone) but I miss him and his round fuzzy face! :)

I finished the last season of Better Call Saul but the whole time I was watching I felt like I was watching something much older, like there was a ton of stuff that had happened after the bits I was watching. Just googled and, yep, I’ve been watching season 4 which is the penultimate season! Lol. So now I can amuse myself with the ACTUAL last season till Dave gets home.

Today I dealt with Tedious Medical Stuff. Called specifically pharmacy to refill one of my crazy meds and gave them my new insurance info. They needed a prior auth so I messaged UCSF to alert them. Then I found a local pharmacy that takes my insurance and called my old pharmacy to transfer all my non-fancy prescriptions. Then I called OHSU to get set up with my specialists, and gave them my insurance info, and scheduled an appointment. Then I spent a few hours trying to find a primary care doc. I called soooooo many places to finally find a clinic that takes my insurance AND is taking new patients, so got set up with them and made an appointment. I feel like there was something else too…

Of course more than half the time on the phone was spent on hold, but everyone I (eventually) spoke to was so pleasant!

By the time I finished all that it was nearly 2pm (I’d started at 9:30am) so I got up and had some breakfast and then I just chilled with Littlewood on my Switch and podcasts for the rest of the day.

Of course Dave and I FaceTimed tonight, as we do every evening while he’s out of town. It was so wonderful to see his dear, sweet, round, kind face. I miss that man. *heart eyes*

Took a shower in the morning and then played video games while listening to podcasts allllllll day :D

While Dave is away I’ve been rewatching the previous season of Better Call Saul at night instead of our usual English Cops and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
