RE: Mercury in Retrograde - Drunk Monk - 11-20-2025
It's been a little slice of hell with my mom's medical coverage. Her doctor is now out of network, so I've spent a lot of yesterday and all of this morning sorting the transfer to a new doc. I'm not particularly attached to her previous doctor, so no great loss. It's more all the paperwork, which is all online now and isn't overly intelligent. It asks a lot of routine questions that would be answered if it read the initial answers - not set up for a caretaker/medical advocate like myself. It froze me out when it figured out my mom wasn't a minor.
The US medical/insurance system is the worst. And getting worser...

And it seems our lives are dedicated to raising enough capital to pay them during our end times.

Truth.

Feel that quake?
Woke my sleepy ass up. But I wasn't sure if it was real or a dream.
I'm never sure if it's real or a dream...

The government needs you to stay sleepy.

I was in East Garrison (right next to Ft Ord). felt all 3 on T-Day and the one the following morning. Definitely tiny, causing one to ask if that was an earthquake or not. The T-day ones were interesting because they kept increasing in magnitude. The 3rd was the one I was really aware of and decided to stand in a doorway for a bit.

I was going to blame my bad luck run on the blood moon because I didn’t think Merc was in Ret but I shoulda known.
Since Monday 3/2:
Stacy’s dad died
YMAA website crashed
KFM email crashed
Mom’s kitchen demolished
Mom’s new doctor ghosted us
My press application for fandom crashed
Just 2+ more weeks to go…

The Quarry website crashed right when I was texting the Manager about tomorrow.
YMAA website crashed in the middle of my meeting about the website.

The window people totally fucked up. The kitchen window was supposed to expanded from 40x54 from 32x47, but they only expanded the frame, not the window.
My brunch is postponed because my friend's 94-year-old neighbor fell and cut her head. He's waiting for the ambulance and her daughter to show.

Oh goddammit
A major file just disappeared. I'm checking the cloud backup but all I'm getting is the spinning wheel of death. This one will be incredibly hard to restore if it's truly lost.

I have a feeling you might just want to sit quietly in your room this Friday.
RE: Mercury in Retrograde - Drunk Monk - 03-09-2026
I always want to do that.
Can't find it. So weird. There was some sort of update on One Drive and it's all messed up now. Stupid Merc
RE: Mercury in Retrograde - Drunk Monk - 03-10-2026
Merc is kicking my ass.
10 more days?
I might not make it.
Let my epitaph read 'killed by stupid superstition that he didn't even beleive in'
RE: Mercury in Retrograde - Drunk Monk - 03-11-2026
Oh gawdammit. Did I really just cut my lip licking the foil wrapper of a babybel cheese wedge?
And I’ve got two zits sprouting on my face - one on my cheek and one on my chin. I haven’t had a sit in months.
I surrender Merc. Uncle! Uncle!!!
RE: Mercury in Retrograde - Drunk Monk - 03-12-2026
Lip is almost healed and the cheek zit subsided but the chin zit is still tender.
After we crashed the YMAA site, our IT has been doing analytics and accidentally turned off a major function in our author bios. One of our newest authors caught it. Not a major issue, but mere can be so annoying that way. Hopefully it's an easy fix as our IT keeps a record of changes made so he can simply step backwards until it's back on.
