I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm in the waiting room for a massage right now. It will be FG.

I have a gift certificate for an hour massage at a day spa that I plan to use while on vacation. I am so looking forward to it.
re: doctor's offices. Hubby and I are always prompt. The dentist recommended by the cancer center scheduled him for 7:45 AM. We were there at 7:40. Office was dark and locked. An office attendant wandered up at 7:55 and was shocked to see us. "We don't open till 8. We make the appointments for 7:45 because no one shows up on time. I don't know if the doctor will be here right at 8." Smack them all.

Our wings are not tired.
That is ridiculous, Connie. But don't you know, their time is so much more valuable than yours. @@
I am not a big fan of massage, neither love nor hate. What I do love so much is the exfoliating body scrub type massage. Makes me feel like a new person.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"We don't open till 8. We make the appointments for 7:45 because no one shows up on time. I don't know if the doctor will be here right at 8."
That's horrifying. My mother was just complaining because her doctor's office says to get there 15 minutes before your official appointment time -- I said to her it was probably because people are late, and this just confirms that! She should totally just get there at the actual time.
One of my favorite massage therapists did stuff with pulling my limbs around, and it was incredible. Maybe I can ask my current one to do some of that? We have a good enough relationship that she would just say no if she didn't want to.

In other bad news/good news, I just made plans to get together with a friend whose father also has Alz, and was thinking about suggesting a particular place because it seemed dark and seedy enough to cry in, and she suggested the same place for the same reasons!

I keep finding myself muttering, "People these days, no respect." I'm having a lot more sympathy for the old(ish) people of my youth.

Sounds like a good friend who's got the right ideas!

Aw, sweetie. I'm glad you have your friend, though!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to admit I kinda skimmed. Today is my last doctor-mandated day off work. I'd planned to go in, but I don't trust driving right now. And, well, they don't want us to work from home, so why not take the hit?
Also, I can't really read for 8 hours. Not bright things.
So healthma to those that need it, raps on the knuckles of deserving medical staff, curses on home appliances, and taking Visine to the Jesse get together. Which reminds me--time for my topical anti-bios. I've almost perfected my technique.
