More boring doctor stuff...

Okay of the dozen or more things my PCP wanted me to get tested I am doing 4. Tomorrow morning a CT scan for a calcium score to see if my arteries are clogged, and an echo in the afternoon, boob squishing on Monday, and colon abuse on Tuesday. Then that is it. No more doctors for a year, which is after I am on Medicare. Assuming of course that all the tests show how awesomely healthy I am, which they will.

I am going to stop 100% adding salt to my food, and giving up eggs and cheese. We'll see how this helps my BP and cholesterol. I do love me some salt and live where I sweat tons every day, but my plan is to use other spices and green tabasco (my favorite) instead and see if it helps.

Ugh, I hate phone stuff. I got a Torrid order, and one of the items didn't fit. The packaging slip says, "free shipping for exchanges!" Which is cool, because I'd still like the item, just a size up. For exchanges you have to call.

We go through the situation, they have the item in my desired new size, and she asks, do you want me to put in the order for this, or do you want to send it back first? I didn't know what to say, so instead of asking what the difference was, I assumed I'd get charged and then refunded for the first option, so I opted to send it back first instead.

She says, ok, you're all set, and I ask, but what about the free shipping for exchanges? She sounds kind of confused, but says a label is being mailed to me. That sounds OK, I'd assume the postage is on this new label, but then she says, "Or just use the label on your packing slip," which does not have postage on it, since straight up returns don't cover postage to ship back.

So now I'm, like, freaking out about the whole thing.

Does anyone have experience with Torrid exchanges?

The landlord is doing some sort of repairs or something in the apartment upstairs. He also parked in the driveway in a way that makes it impossible for me to get my car out. (I don't have anywhere that I need to go, but it's still annoying. There's plenty of room for him to park without blocking me.)

OK, everything is put away and vacuumed and scrubbed to my satisfaction. The apartment is in a state where I would be comfortable having friends over, no question. But there have been other times when it's looked like this when he's thought it was awful.

Also, I have concluded that I am simply not capable of getting a duvet cover onto my comforter by myself. I've watched all the videos that show how it's supposed to be done, and my arms just can't do it.

Maybe I could help tomorrow? I feel like between the 2 of us, we can do it.

Thanks. We can give it a try.

Good luck, Hil.

I found a few specialty Vampirina things for the party and cobweb plates and napkins to supplement them. ltc is going to love it and my family is going to hate it.

Perhaps some bats? either soft plush ones or paper?

I bought black and purple bats to hang from the ceiling.
