CIRCLE WITH A DOT

RE: https://flipboard.com/@pbsnewshour/health-ifb7d79pz/-/a-wOTkLjuMScqgmCnhWAbBjw%3Aa%3A2651838374-%2F0Glad to see respirators in these photos. I saw a different article that said people were wearing ‘face coverings’ and that was very concerning.

Success. Made it to the local plant nursery that has a particularly good selection…IF you make it prior to Mother’s Day. That day, half the town descends on the place. I still need to get some more flowers, but I think I got all of the vegetable starts I need for this season. Beans and zucchini and such I’ll be planting via seed, but I need a jumpstart on things like tomatoes. #gardening

@Lemniscate I forget that growing up in Mountains Lite with curiosity-indulging parents is not normal and regular eight year olds do not read The Hot Zone enough to dog-ear all the pages.

My irritation levels are shooting upward by virtue of having looked at a CPT coding situation for a family member’s medical bill. Pretty much a guarantee everytime I look at CPT codes. This time it appears they’ve been charged an extra ~$100 for daring to ask about a sinus issue during a Medicare wellness visit. Unclear why neither Medicare nor supplementary covered that so that is being investigated next. I’m not sure the claim was sent to the supplementary.
