1. We got Fiona's lexile scores, and she is reading on an 11th-12th grade level. I don't think she's truly comprehending at that level; she asks us enough questions about what words mean and what she's reading to make me doubt the accuracy of the test, but she's clearly reading way about a 3rd grade level.
2. I looked at the receipt for that Nurtec. We paid nothing, but it costs $1,020.99. Now, insurance refused to pay for Cambia, and I was going to have to pay $900 for it, but they paid $200 more for a different drug? Truly insurance is unfathomable to me. Fortunately, I've been averaging a migraine a month since I started the Topamax, and there's 8 in a box of Nurtec, so hopefully this should last me at least 8 months, possibly longer.
3. Emma is doing well. She's been a little homesick. She's a little disappointed that she and her roomies didn't instantly bond and become BFFs. She's a little freaked out by how hard chemistry appears it will be. But she is doing well.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is hilarious and twisty. I absolutely love it. If the site allowed half-ratings, I think I'd have gone with a 4.5 just because the ending wasn't quite as strong as I wanted (or perhaps it would be more accurate to say in the way that I wanted), but on the whole this is just a wonderful set of interlocking narratives. They seem disconnected from each other and then begin to connect in quite bizarre ways. It's honestly one very long English major joke about deconstructionism and other literary theories, and I think it would probably be even more hilarious to someone who knows more about and digs those theories more (and the end would probably be more meaningful to that person).
