I'm so silly; I should have just posted September 13. Hahaha!

I finally got my ICD-10 coding book, and now I'm deep into studying for my proficiency exam so I don't lose my credentials. To anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about--no worries. Just suffice it to say that medical terminology, anatomy and codes will be my life for awhile. And this is a good thing, because it may lead me to becoming an employed disabled person, instead of an unemployed one.

Sounds mighty good to me.

Also, I have to say that the book is awesome. The anatomy artwork is simply beautiful. (If you like that sort of thing.) If you're a coder, I really recommend the ICD-10-CM 2016 volume by Carol J. Buck with Netter Anatomy Art.

On the lighter side, once upon a time I was a working girl, and I worked a lot. Day job, night job, school--I was a busy bee. During those years, I rarely watched t.v., and now, after over a decade, I decided I would watch "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer". As a nerd, geek, or whatever, it has often irked me when I didn't get the "Buffy" references in other media. Finally, I'm catching up.

Am I proud to admit that I've now streamed two seasons? I don't know. But it's oddly fun. I would have enjoyed the heck out of it in high school, had it aired then.

Have I mentioned, ever, that I really like Netflix and Hulu? Being able to stream an entire old series is pretty satisfying for someone (me) who wanted a way to record and re-watch her favorite shows back in the 1970's before the invention of the VCR. If only I'd been smart enough to follow through on that desire when I was fourteen, I could have been rich.

I may even get around to watching all the old "Friends" episodes. Maybe. No one ever believes me when I say I haven't already seen them all.

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and make a change. So I bought a new sofa and love seat because the old ones were literally falling apart. Off we went to the furniture store, where we sat on set after set and finally decided on one. A couple days later, delivery time. And then--doggone it!--the arm of the brand new sofa is broken! So...waiting for a new one to come in so they can pick this one up and deliver a new one. Man! I finally break down, and that's what happens? Sheesh!

Next bullet--gotta do something about this roof. I hear we're in for a bad winter. Dang it.

I'm going to have to call it a night. Until we meet again--good night!
