I’ve been sick for a week.

Symptoms started right after I got back from a family trip upstate. I don’t know if I contracted there or here, but it’s been intense.

I tested negative for Covid and flu but the body aches, sweats, cough, and sore throat remain. I’m hoping for some relief soon.

Partner delivered at a city hospital where we are in-network last week.

The claims have not yet been processed by our insurance. Nonetheless, we received a large bill today from Children’s National for tasks supposedly performed by one of their physicians.

Our insurance confirmed that they have not processed any claims for the procedure yet, so we called up the CN billing department who informed that, although the baby is under the mother’s insurance for the first 60 days, they have to bill it to the baby’s insurance and, since that doesn’t yet exist, they just sent us the full bill.

We asked them why they sent us a bill so quickly then and the agent told us that they are legally obligated to inform us when the bill is created.

Hopefully all will be resolved in time, but is this not the “surprise billing” practice that is supposed to have been outlawed? Not the kind of communication any new mother needs to receive in any case only days after delivery.

Just wanted to take a moment to shout out the crowd at my chemical romance last night. What a show! The place was packed from top to bottom, the sound was great, and I really felt connected to everyone in the crowd.

It's been a tough year but we cant forget -- no man is an island, entire of itself!

oh and a special shout out to all the sad baddies in the DMV area - everyone was hot.

But I parked my car for the my chem show last night and then proceeded to not be able to find it. I’m coming back this morning to ‘look’ for it but is there anyway that any one of you who is really knowledgeable about the city may be able to help me? I’m really stressing out 😅

I parked near in a neighborhood off of Half st very close to the Nata Stadium. Gray Cadillac Srx with a Batman logo on the back. I’m really worried and any help would be so lovely. Thank you!!

I posted yesterday about new rat burrows that appeared on my property, and the huge rat problem my block has had for years. We filed a 311 request immediately, but I received a notification today that our 311 request was denied, as another home on my block was treated a week ago. Ironically, this explains why the rats moved to my property, but doesn’t serve as an excuse for DC to not do anything? I have video footage for that entire day showing that the inspector came nowhere near our home as well. I’ve heard good things about DC’s rodent response, so this denial is pretty baffling. I will now have to pay out of my pocket to hire a private company to destroy the burrows because DC refuses to address its ratpocalypse.

does anyone know what’s going on at metro center? they evacuated us out and now there’s ton of police presence outside.

The assholes licking🍑 of 🍊🐒 simply won’t relent.
