Yesterday's doctor appt did not go well. I have another appointment with someone else in one minute. It actually was supposed to be at 10:30. It is now 10 :33... it's via phone, so I hope it happens! I'm starting to get nervous!

Good Morning Kids! I had nothing scheduled this morning, and REALLY slept in late. (I haven't slept this late in a long time!) No point in getting up early when the wind chill is still at -17, right? Holy Moly! I'd stay in bed all day!

AAAARRRRGH! I called Dr office and was told my appt was at 10:30, in the office! I was supposed to go in! I was originally scheduled to see her last week, via telehealth. They called and said she had meetings all day, so had to reschedule. When we changed it to today, no one told me it was an in person appt! That would have been helpful!
Now I'm waiting for them to call me back and tell me when she can see me.
I am not happy! But what do you do? Ugh.

I would have assumed it was telehealth.
I am happy that the two doctors I see via telehealth have told me the appointments will be telehealth unless they tell me differently.

Maybe I'll ask about that. That's what I would prefer. It's almost 4pm here, so I was getting nervous, since no one had called me back. But I just got a call from someone in her office who took my medical history and told me the dr will call me, after she finishes with her current patient. Whew! This is the doctor I've been seeing for 5+ yrs, at another location, so I hope it will be a smooth transition for my meds. They don't accept my insurance, which is a bummer. But jumping through hoops to get someone to prescribe meds that I've been taking for 20+ yrs is getting old! And I have completed the paperwork, to get a discounted rate, so that helps.

WOO HOO! I spoke to my doctor and everything went well. She's going to continue writing my meds, so I am very relieved. I will pick them up this evening, I hope. WHEW!

UGH! I'm back to being frustrated. I picked up my scripts, but didn't look at them until just now (2:53AM). The one prescription I needed most (one of the two that have been causing me trouble, getting them prescribed) was not filled and given to me by the pharmacy. I need to check with them today and find out why. Sometimes I hate having things done electronically.
Just when I thought I had things in control again. 😠

Sometimes the pharmacy delays my refills because they are out of the medication. I hope you can get your meds today.

Good Morning Kids! DS & I will be leaving shortly to get our Covid booster. It's been a weird day, as my dryer decided to stop blowing heat, and now I somehow managed to tear my thumb when I was letting Speedy back into the house. I suspect the -31 windchill interacted with the metal clip I was unfastening to let him back in.

Glad you got it, toomuchreality! I'm taking things slow & easy tonight. My vaccination arm & shoulder is pretty stiff tonight. Hoping to feel better no later than tomorrow, but still glad I got the booster.

It's 25 degrees this morning, but it is to be below zero when I wake up in the morning.
I definitely scheduled grocery pick up for the wrong day.

Good Morning Kids! I'm still sore & stiff from my vaccination, but still think it's worth the trouble. However, my back is so tight right now that an adult could probably walk across it. It doesn't matter what I'm feeling like tomorrow. I must get up early then. My dryer repairman is supposed to show up. Hope it can be fixed in one visit.

Good morning. It's going to be a busy day today. I have lots to get done. Hopefully, I won't start feeling overwhelmed and give up.
I hope your day goes well and you accomplish all that you set out to do.
Enjoy your day!

Good Morning Kids! With a bit of luck, I hope to have a working dryer by the end of the day, so I can catch up on laundry. Such an exciting lifestyle! I won't be online much today, as DH is working from home, and, you guessed it, needs the computer, so I'll see you later.

Hey Everyone! Work has been nuts this week! I even got to the point I had alcohol at home. Really hoping today is reasonable. I have tea seeping and can't wait to get a hit of caffeine. Oh well sooner started sooner ended....maybe I get out a smidge early today.
Everyone take care.

Woo hoo! My repairman just needed to replace a fuse, and also discovered a nice blob of lint inside the dryer (glad he took THAT out). Now, I need to get caught up on laundry...

I'm sure my dryer has the lint problem. It's 19 years old and I've never had it cleaned. In fact, I've never had one cleaned in my entire adult life.

Hello peeps! toomuchreality I hope everything has settled down. Sounds like your week has been bonkers and bozo between the docs and the meds! Hate when this stuff happens, and none of it is really anything you can control. Gonna be a cold weekend here. Weather nerds are going nuts on TV -- supposed to hit the thirties by Sunday. Maybe twenties inland and points north.

At least I get brief moments of believing I do. Today has been a good day and I think things have finally been worked out. 🤞 I hope you've had a chance to wear your seasonal clothes for this year! Stay warm!

From what I keep hearing, everyone east of Utah is either experiencing a Cat 5 along with 3 feet of snow, or will be momentarily. I hope it's not true! Stay safe an stay warm!
