It will catch up to me
Summer is here finally. Last quarter the prediction that my brother has been repeating for many years finally came true. If I don't study, it will catch up to me.

One of the problems with US healthcare is that we see ourselves as consumers of healthcare and not patients. This works to our advantage when the object is to minimize paternalistic/maternalistic explanations of choices. Not spending time explaining option is not the solution. On the other hand, a lot of expensive, unnecessary treatment happens because the healthcare system is unwilling to pushback against a customer.
My naval-gazing apparently has a fan who is, appropriately enough, an accountant. Anyway, an actual accounting was accomplished today as my taxed finally got filed.

We're dog sitting our neighbor's corgie who has an amazing ability to poop 5-6 times a day. Unfortunately he will only do it while on a walk. Unfortunately, he gets up at 6:00 am. Unfortunately, I forgot a bag this morning. Unfortunately, the gentleman's whose lawn said corgie was using at the time came out to throw something away (it's trash day). Unfortunately, all I could do was stand there without a bag in my hand. It felt like I was standing there with my pants down taking a crap on his lawn.
