Didn't Australia once have a prime minister get eaten by a shark?
Man, impeachment is rough in Australia.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I love this thing now where you call doctor's offices and almost never get a person. You just get voicemail. And then you leave a message. Which they may or may not return.

Oh, right, I have to do that. Call a doctor's office and probably get a voicemail, I mean.
Boss brought in Krispy Kreme this morning. Some sort of lemon cream is apparently a limited time flavor - it's pretty good. I have always made it a practice to only eat Krispy Kreme when it's hot, and these were not, but still pretty good.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oddly, emailing my doctor's office gets a pretty quick response (sometimes within an hour or 2), because my doctor stays on top of his email. This means I completely bypass the awful front-desk staff, which is a big win.
ION, I had a filling replaced this morning, which is fine, but I'm starving and waiting for my mouth to not be numb so I can eat some dang lunch. t stomach rumble

Our PCP is good with the electronic system. My neurologist, who's in the same giant healthcare conglomerate, does not use the system. So the call that I made Thursday or Friday to leave a voicemail asking them to get a prior authorization for my migraine drug apparently went into the wind, as today I called back, left a voicemail, got a call directing me to someone else, left a voicemail, and got a call back saying that she could start on that, and how much medication did I have left.
Well, about four days less than when I left the first voicemail.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty happy with my large healthcare office -- you basically always get a person, or at least a timely callback, in my (limited) experience.
I just found the email I sent at this time last year asking to take off Friday, and I'm going to do it again! I can't take this week. I'm so bored! Not that there's not stuff I could be doing, but it just feels like what's the point? And a four-day weekend sounds nice.

Friday is my regularly scheduled 9/80 day off, so that's nice. Yay 4 day weekend!
Getting through the remaining 3 days pf this week is still a challenge, though.
ETA and I still need to call my dr office. Better do that now...

And reached a person who is going out of her way to get me an appointment before October. I actually wouldn't mind waiting until October, but I might need a refill before then. Should count my pills and see.
