I think I need to finish something. I think the fact that I am working on a bunch of relatively long-term projects (both at work and in my hobbies) is getting to me.

I did solve one more problem this morning: my wonderful allergist is packing up and leaving town for good. The nurse agreed to make enough serum for shots through the spring (which is the worst of my allergies). The campus nurse said she gives allergy shots on a regular basis so it won't be a big deal for her to take on one more allergy patient.

and I called the HR office about my dentist (and as it turns out, most other dentists in town) refusing to accept the insurance we have any more. Money will continue to be sucked out of my pocket until September, but then I can cancel the dental insurance.

good grief. my life these past few days has been largely putting out fires or trying to fix things that have gone wrong. I'd rather progress than do maintenance.
