Days to dissertation defense: 14.

Days to turning in of draft to committee: was supposed to be today; now talking end of the week.

Move tasks accomplished yesterday:
Examined closets in Dillo's and Casper's rooms and removed various Goodwill fodder and a few items To Be Dealt With.
Items To Be Dealt With: assorted posters (approx. 24) (anyone want a cool poster of a cave bear skeleton poised to attack? I think it would frighten the baby at this point); two old hard-sided suitcases, one of which cannot be opened and has not been opened since 2000.
Paid lovely lovely men $25 to remove defunct washer and dryer from the basement and take them away to be recycled.

Move tasks accomplished today:
None.

Accomplished today:
Fixed fuckup in Health care Reimbursement paperwork.
Mailed 5 Bookmooches.
Shopped for birthday presents for twin 5 year olds, Dillo, Casper.
Bought Snurri's book. (It was well-displayed, faced out, and only 3 copies left.)
Took survey on grass-fed beef and won $5 Whole Foods gift card.
Bought non-grass fed beef and chicken.
Started binding Dillo's quilt, with goal of having it done for his birthday (Friday). Is agonizingly slow. Will have to take it to book club.

Question

"In the event of serious illness, do you wish the doctor to pray with you?" as a question on basic starting paperwork at a pediatrician's office: red flag, or to be taken for granted when one lives in the Bible Belt?

mr. flea noted, "At least they asked, and 'no' was an option," but me, I tend to like a sharp line between my spiritual guidance and my medical care. mr. flea thinks I'm being prejudiced against religion. Am I overreacting to want to look for another practice (this is in GA, so we have no existing relationship, yet)?
