I think I like the Shed and Breakfast the best.

Mmm, I need to up my shed game.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Didn't Australia once have a prime minister get eaten by a shark? I vaguely remember hearing that years ago ... or he went in swimming and didn't come out?
We did! That was Harold Holt, a Liberal Party PM from the '60s. He was a keen ocean swimmer, headed out one day in rough conditions and disappeared without trace. One conspiracy theory opines that he was picked up by a submarine and defected to China.
Anyway, given that he was believed to have drowned at sea, naturally he is commemorated in his home city of Melbourne by the Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Centre.
