RIP Cut Throat Bitch

So I have great love for the television show House. In California Tim and I didn't have TV so we actually got into the show by watching old episodes on the interweb. So I moved before I had gotten up to date with the show. So now that I am living alone I decided I could break down and get network channels, so then I had to get caught up before the new season starts. So I rent the episodes at my friendly neighborhood video rental place. As I watch it I think the 4th season sucks because they have mostly gotten rid of all the characters we love (except House, himself-at least I love him...age Tim 20 years give him a limp and a vicodin addiction and you have house) they introduce all these new people that you don't really like. But then just when you have gotten used to them and even started liking them, what do the writers do? they kill one of them off! It really pisses me off when television makes me cry, like there isn't enough sadness in the world with out pretending it. I'm sorry if I ruined the end of season 4 for anyone but this happened months ago and I just caught up.

Sickness

You know what really sucks? Being uninsured! So I'm sick. I feel that I probably have strep throat, that or the world's worst cold that is killing me. I went to the doctor yesterday and explained my situation and they said sure we will see you. that will be 140 dollars and extra if they have to run any labs. I am feeling really crappy and not in the mood to argue or try to price shop in my weakened state so I say ok to the terms. I then get my throat swab in the 2 hours I am there only to have them say that they don't think I have strep throat and they will call me in 48 hours if the culture shows anything. So now I am sans antibiotics and I could possibly be dying and another thing I am sans....140 dollars. I hate health care, insurance and the rest of the system. I am temporarily unemployed but do normally have health insurance I can't imagine what it is like for those who have to deal with it every time they are sick.

I need to point out at this juncture I am not pro universal health care. I am a advocate of a free market health system. Mostly I am anti insurance companies because they are the reason the cost is so ridiculously high. They do this to people when they are in an already weakened state or are in an emergency situation when they do not have the ability to shop around for the most cost effective care.

odd man out

So being recently back near to my home town after being gone for just over 8 years of living other places, I find it is very strange running into people who last knew me as a 16 year old. Randomly running into a old high school friend and her mom where I was bid farewell with a "see you later, Bridget." I feel so weird being back, not with my family or Rese who I have stayed in touch with and so have seen me become an adult and also don't confuse me with my high school friend Bridget (well we both have big boobs, but I think the comparisons end there). I am so different than 16 year old me. I also recently had a lunch with a friend that I had not seen in 10 or so years wondering do I have anything in common with this person anymore, possibly I have more in common with her than ever but I still find it somewhat depressing here. Still no job, and with nothing really to pour my energy into, I find myself missing my home in California...it was the first place I had felt at home since leaving colorado all those years ago.

Loveland

So I moved...most of you know this and many of you may guessed it but I have relocated to the quant town of Loveland, Colorado. So now I'm working hard at becoming gainfully employed, settled into to my cute apartment and get used to be a cat lady. That is right I have obtained not one but 2 black cats (Milly and Blackie). I had pick out Milly from my mother's cat's litter but then I did all sorts of research on cats finding out that cats are happier and healthier when raised in household with multiple cats, so I got another. Which makes me a real cat lady. Single, living alone....if I start having conversations with myself someone put me out of my misery.

While I say this, I really think they are so cute they are 6 weeks and love to run and jump and fight with each other.
