loyalty card sharing, or, I suck at no
Nothing much going on today. BP is stabilizing. I wish the woozies would go away ( Read more... ) -
life and stuff again
My PCP never did call back, but I called them several times. Different people kept answering the phone, so I suspect there is some kind of chaos going on there. Either the Office Manager quit or is on vacation or etc., because trust me when I say this is not the usual thing that goes on when I need something, and I am trying to be (a patient) ( Read more... ) -
life and stuff
Chronic pain and a tendency toward sensory overload do not play well together--I'm already in overload before I'm even out of bed. I so want to go back to bed, but bed hurts ( Read more... ) -
dear body, straighten up and fly right
I feel horrible today. Physically horrible. Shaky, and I ache all OVER. Bones, muscles, joints...EVERYTHING ( Read more... ) -
ice bucket epiphany - a temporarily public entry
Confession. I watched exactly three ice bucket challenge videos. They enraged me.
How dare anyone presume to tell anyone which charity to donate to, is what I thought my problem was. Seemed like a logical objection, since I had the exact same issue with employer-coerced donations some years ago--although I don't believe in logic, which is a ( Read more... ) -
doc visit
First, my primary care provider is a Certified Nurse Practitioner and not an M.D. I usually don't mention that because I don't feel like defending her. She's kind, which is of vital importance to me, and she is very knowledgeable about conditions I have such as diabetes and high blood pressure. She also used to be the CNP for the blood expert ( Read more... ) -
legal, ethical, and considerate--not necessarily the same thing
So, as I mentioned, I purchased a box of cat kibble to use as ckatten treats, but as I may not have mentioned, the entire contents of the box didn't fit in the cat treat cannister. So I have an open partial box of cat kibble on my reference book shelf, which I initially thought the dogs would probably steal sooner or later, with emphasis on sooner ( Read more... ) -
critter treats
I'm sure it says something about me that I have candy dishes in almost every room, and that all of them have dog treats in them. Recently I had to add a container of cat treats, because, well...Artemis ( Read more... ) -
douche-ist
I looked up this old friend on Facebook, and I added him, and it made me so happy. I remember happy fun friend times, from back-when. Then, thanks to the ticker, I found out he's an -ist. Racist, sexist, misogynist...pretty much every -ist there is, and some I don't know the name for. (Also a homophobe, a misanthrope, a bully ( Read more... ) -
two little things, both good
Yesterday T-Moth and I took the folks to the flea market. Due to my heat & sun intolerance (medication related, and which I am going to ask the doc about because it is really bringing me down) I found a tree and camped under it, which was actually very nice. There came a point where I saw the three of them walking at a distance, and T-Moth ( Read more... )
