(no subject)

I'm up, I'm dressed. I have to feed the cats and the fish then head out the door.

I don't want to go to work. I still feel like ass (just not as feverish). But I hae things that need to be done.

I don't know if I will be up to family dinner tonight. We will have to see.

I am not going to do anything with the Doma this weekend save going and getting some food from there. Gonna take a weekend totally for myself and work on getting better.

Moo. *cough*

Ponderings of a fevered mind

I had a thought last weekend and it solidified more yesterday.

Over the weekend we watched several episodes of Fraggle Rock. I got to watching the iconographic nature of each of the Fraggles and the like. You know... the reluctant Hero (Gobo). The wacky side-kick (Wimbly). The "Doom and gloom" naysayer (Boober). The airy idealist (Mokey). The High Adventurer (Red). The wise hermit (The Trash Heap). Etc.

Yesterday I re-watched the first DVD of Firefly. And like Fraggle Rock we have the iconography characters. The Reluctant Hero (Mal). The Wacky side-kick (Wash). the airy idealist (Kaylee). The High Adventurer (Zoe). The Wise Hermit (Book).

But what really struck me was the similarity of Wash and Wimbly. Even down to the buggy eyes, wierd haircut and hawaiian shirts, and their names both start with W.

So I almost want to write to Joss and ask if he really did base Wash on Wimbly Fraggle.

Thank the divine for health insurance

And mom had some.

I FINALLY got the bill for mom's time in the hospital before she died.

The original bill was:

$34,275.91

Yeah the number left me stunned.

Then I saw the "Your portion of the bill" part.

The estate only owes:

$375.00

I offically don't feel the right to complain anymore about paying for health insurance. Not when it will cover almost $34,000 in medical expenses.
