What a strange day. I have spent the last five hours seated and writing email. Which sounds cushy, except I feel like I've been working hard, and managed to develop an appetite. Time for a MEAT SAMMICH

Crazy goal: Fluxx in beta before the Mystery Hunt. Wish me luck!

I declined subscribing to COBRA insurance coz it was friggin 'spensive and am now hoping I didn't choose poorly, since I really must follow up on my teeth this month. If it turns out I need to have a $2000 root canal or something I will be right pissed.

I'm guessing this is unlikely since my teeth don't hurt, and I've been taking better care of them in the last year than ever before... but I still don't know the current status of the two unfilled cavities I was diagnosed with last year. (They actually found four, but chose to leave the smaller ones alone for the time being.)

Unless I'm severely unlucky, I'm probably looking at a couple more fillings, at worst. I dunno how much that costs.

Do you floss? Flossing is important. I should floss more.

I have flossed more days than not over the course of 2005. It has been the most floss-intensive year of my life.

This because the dentist said "floss floss floss" at me. Also have been using an after-brushing fluoride rinse.

ehealthinsurance.com is apparently more than competitive with COBRA.

most health insurance and therefore cobra plans wouldn't cover dental anyway.

The only problem with not taking COBRA is that I have heard an insurance company can deny you coverage if you have a break in your previous insurance coverage. They only seem make a real stink about it if you have a pre-existing condition.

(I am not an expert, but it was mentioned to me when we were looking into changing Tahnan to my insurance. You might want to Google it.)
