December 5

Watched Barney with then read a book to the Baby. Spent two hours on the phone with health insurance company trying to understand why they haven't paid some bills dating back 18 months. Realized that punching the wall would only lead to more unpaid claims, so took the dog for a walk to calm down. Sufficiently defused by glorious day and chirping birds. Checked on-line for strike news, felt bad for everybody involved (well, not the studio chiefs), posted some recipes, thought about how few dishes I actually cook regularly for someone so obsessed with food. Thought about lunch. Turkey or tuna sandwich? Definitely roasted peppers on either one. Okay, gotta eat.
