Recap of the week...
Mar. 28th, 2003 01:29 pmLet's see...
Monday: Went to PA; much fun, tossed plot bunnies around in my head for
fearthainn's inappropriate songfic challenge. Have decided 'Polyester Bride' by Liz Phair would do. Was rejected for bariatric surgery by OSU. I place the call:
Me: So what do you consider a life-threatening illness? Last time I checked, diabetes is life-threatening.
OSU: Well, we don't take anyone with a BMI under 40.
Me: The letter says 35-40. What's my BMI?
OSU: 34.
Me: Well, my insurance will cover it if it's approved. I can gain 5 pounds!
OSU: We still won't take anyone under 40. We recommend that you consult a dietician and...
Me: Do you really think this is about me not knowing what to eat?! I don't need a dietician, I need a psychologist!
OSU: ::silence::
Me: Really, you all work with fat people every day!
OSU: You can try another program.
So I called around, but no one will take me at this point. I'm really not willing to gain the 75 pounds to get to 40. Maybe once I've lost a foot and my eyesight they'll offer the surgery to me. Insurance doesn't cover any other type of bariatric treatment. Will join health club again, try to lose 20 pounds.
Good news - wedding is back on for October 25th!
Tuesday: Ate bagels for breakfast and lunch. Will start dieting at the end of the week. *munches*
Wednesday: Girls had their big meeting, brought in new member. Was tapped as a Big Name Sinner by the now-cowering
fermatojam. Can't see why, however, since I don't write incest (yet), slash, or pedophilia. She claims she's going to Nimbus and we'll all 'have to look her in the eye'. I think fandom celebrity boxing is in order for July. Or a squicky fic drive.
Thursday: Am in the throes of hay fever. Can't understand why since I live in the city. Wonder if the HVAC failed in the BL-3 and am now infected with anthrax. Or with that evil Asian pneumonia. *looks around suspiciously* Honeybunch was fired by the legal department. He got backup from his immediate boss, but it didn't matter. Honeybunch did convince his former staff to return to work; half the staff quit in protest last week, but honeybunch wants them to be able to list a reference. Paragon of reason, my honeybunch.
Friday: Finishing up latest plotroach courtesy of Nappa - Harry/Alicia. Sorry to disappoint, but no incest, slash or pedophilia here either! Hope to have it up at Snitchfiction.net by Monday. Slightly loopy from decongestants.
Good luck to
sunshyndaisies in her job search!
