How you all doing? I haven't had the energy for socials at all after losing my health insurance (with a single week of advance notice) and scrambling to figure out how I'm going to continue to be not dead for the near future. What's new? Did I miss anything interesting?

Cool! Just lost my health insurance today, so now I go from spending nothing on my prescriptions to hundreds a month that I don't have! Yay!

My wife randomly decided to watch Better Call Saul and so far this is way more for me than Breaking Bad was. I tried three times to get through that show and never made it all the way through. Some great performances but something about it was so relentlessly depressing.
