April Fool's and not April Fool's

[thistlechaser]

PSA: Keep in mind today is April Fool's Day, the day when it's perfectly okay to try to trick other people and make them feel bad about falling for some stupid joke. Yes, for the first time in years I fell for a joke. Posted to a comm alerting people to this new thing. Forgot what day it was. Ended up looking like an idiot. BUT IT'S ALL IN GOOD FUN SO IT'S OKAY, RIGHT?

Sorry, world, I have damned bigger things on my mind than keeping track of a a stupid "holiday". Like a new $10,000 bill for my hospital stay months back. It's almost funny, I was grumpy that I got a $1,000 bill when I was first released. Then I got a $500 one, then two more $500 ones, then another $1,000 one, then a $3,000 one, now this $10,000 one.

I have to see how much I can argue them down on it. Turns out the home nurse and the IV antibiotics were out of network, so I have to pay the $10,000 deductible out of pocket.

Each visit from the home nurse, most of which were 10 minutes, longest was 20, cost me $850 per day! And $200 per day for the antibiotics. This went on for more than two weeks!

I'm starting to think the adults in Loki's Wolves were right -- the system is corrupt. Let all life end and we can start over. Maybe the new life won't invent an April Fool's Day.

I feel VERY lucky that my place of work frowns upon April Fool's jokes.

My cat did leave a disemboweled squirrel ass on my front doorstep though.

APRIL FOOLS, A SQUIRREL BUTT.

Haha, thanks for the laugh even though POOR SQUIRREL. My darned cat won't even kill the bugs in my apartment. She watches them forever, then bats them once or twice and then wanders off. EARN YOUR KEEP, CAT. EAT THAT SPIDER!
