Phoning it in; or, My Former Doctor Is Awesome
Phone call to my former doctor in San Francisco, Friday, 4pm. I describe my symptoms to the nurse.
Nurse: You will have to come in. That sounds like bronchitis. I can try to fit you in on Monday...
Me: I moved to southern California, actually. I was just calling to ask if it might be possible for Dr.____ to prescribe me an antibiotic over the phone?
Nurse: We really can't do that. You can go see your doctor there....
Me: I'm self-employed and uninsured and don't have a doctor here yet. Is it possible for me to speak to Dr. ___?
Nurse: Hold on. I will ask him.
(a few seconds pass.)
Dr.: Megan! How ya doin' kiddo! How's LA? Catch any babies lately? What seems to be the trouble?
Me: Hey there. I think I have---
Dr.: Ooof! Sounds like you have bronchitis! Guess you haven't been eating an apple a day, huh? I'll call you in a Z-Pak right away! What's your local pharmacy?
Me: Thank you so much--
Dr.: Get better, kiddo! Eat your Wheaties!
Yaaaaaaaaay. Best. Doctor. Ever.

Fact: I derive an unfaltering sense of satisfaction from slow dancing around the house with my cat to late 70s/early 80s love ballads while wearing nothing but my underwear.
If I were ever to be on a dating website, that would have to be the one thing in the About Me section that people should know.

Oh, balls.
The Question-and-Reply feature goes public if you answer. I didn’t know that.
sharingtime asked: See, some people ask you questions via this fancy form and then you can choose to respond them and post your answer! I hope that helped even though it didn't!

What is this new Ask Me A Question feature you guys are all up into? Monzel, Scott, Lee, Jon? Help.
I am asking a question about question-asking in the hopes of receiving an answer about how y’all might go about asking me questions I can answer THANKS IN ADVANCE!

My morning had begun as any other. The mist from the Pacific hit my windshield as I made my way home from taking my boyfriend to work, the sun shining over the water and the surfers crossing the PCH occasionally diverting my attention. It was a mellow ten a.m. My eye was caught by the neon green poster board announcing your address, with directional arrows pointing toward Bluebird Canyon.

Lou Noble has asked me if I will model for him. Yes, please. His photographs of pretty ladies lounging in tall grasses, personalities shining through Polaroids, and urban adventurings intrigue me. I’m looking forward to working with him.
You can see his work here.

Thank you, Scott Friday.
I’ve wanted an excuse to buy something from The Onion for a long, long time. Not that my boyfriend needs another t shirt, but he’s about to get this one from me.

I am building a desk. It is 16 feet long, 21 inches deep and 40 inches high.
I’m planning on whitewashing it, then sanding it down in layers to allow the wood grain to show through. The wood is raw, new and unfinished, freshly cut and already sanded. (It’s been a productive two days.)
Do I need to prime it first?
I’ve looked through various websites and I’ve asked a few...

“Its all part of the journey. That’s how I think of it. Consider how little of history actually ends up in a museum. Those moments happened to the people there, at the time; just because you can’t hold proof of it in your hands now doesn’t take away it’s place in time then, or it’s purpose.”
