I sent a message to my GP (who is not going to be my GP for much longer, after this), asking if she has any suggestions for what I should do, if I'm in severe pain that's affecting my ability to do my job, and I can't get the rheumatologist to call me back, and she won't prescribe me painkillers. (I phrased it better than that.)
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Hil, I feel so bad that this has gone on so long. I do hope you are able to get some response, and better yet relief.

I think I'm hungry, but my stomach is still not feeling great, and I don't know what I want to eat. I've got English muffins and peanut butter, which might be the best bet. I also kind of want tater tots, and I do have a bag of them in the freezer, but those will take a while to make.

Oh, and apparently the faculty union is going to have a march tomorrow, to protest the new contract, which does suck, and which makes us pay a lot more for medical insurance. But in this condition, I'm going to have trouble even walking from the parking garage to my office building. Marching is not going to happen.

For future tater tot reference: the Meijer in Oakley has store-brand tater rounds (same circumference, more or less, as tots, but less than half the height), and they bake in ~10 minutes. Tots take a lot longer. (Other brands may have the same -- or a similar -- thing, but I am cheap and buy store brand frozen tater products, so I can only speak for Meijer's tater rounds.)

Good to know. I think the ones in my freezer are half a bag of the fancy expensive ones from Whole Foods, because that's where I was the last time I was craving them.

I vote toaster oven taster tots (so there's no oven-preheating time wasted) and while they're cooking eat the English muffin with peanut butter.

I don't have a toaster oven.
