so for the first time this weekend i went to a saturday afternoon function not by myself. up until now carl has been working every saturday - i've gotten used to going to all of these things by myself. so that was nice. with rare exceptions we haven't actually spent a weekend together since 2003 or so. i bet. course at this very moment he's grating on my last so . . .
so the kid has taken a marked interest in dinosaurs. so yesterday i decide we'll look up some dinosaur pictures and videos online. i go googling for stuff for kids. so i put on a video about t-rex and he eats another dinosaur who apparently looke dlike a dog to kai because he has been walking around ever since saying "did the trex bite the dog?" so i go to the next one - supposed to be about some dinosaur family who 45 seconds in . . . gets eaten by a t-rex. thus ends our internet exploration.
his school calle dme on friday to tell me that someone who had been in the center but not in the classrooms had influeza a possibly swine flu. but haven't hear anything yet. i guess symptoms come 1 to 4 days so i guess i won't worry too much. actually, at the risk of sounding glib i'm really not worried. i'm more worried about the fact that i have to call them tomorrow and tell them that my insurance company is probably going to come after them for money. he had stitches on his eye last year because a kid pushed him and he hit the bookshelf. at daycare that is the same risk as getting a cold. shit happens in toddler town. but, my insurance company is now asking what happened so they can go after someone else for the cost. i hate to tell them because i hate to see that happen but i have a feeling that if they find out later that they could have gone after someone and my not telling them is what prevents them from getting their money . . they'll take their money from me. oh, how i love healthcare in the united states. everyone complaining about excessive lawsuits doesn't get the part that the lawsuits are mostly amongst insurance companies. if you're an individual you likely won't get squat. but i'll go into that in further detail some other time. i's tiRED! you all be good now.
Occasionally, I'm callous and strange

Swine flu is about as bad as regular flu, and responds well to anti-virals. It's cool.
How much could some stitches and a visit to a doctor cost? Is it really worth putting in all of this effort to recoup costs that have to be under what, five hundred dollars? It sounds like the insurance company is robbing Peter to pay Paul.
