Timelies all!
Boo to Dana's neurologist and amyparker's realtor.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wow- that is some not professional work on the realtor AND the neurologist.
Scrappy is back from the vet and stoned.I was momentarily confused! Also, have we seen Scrappy lately.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Second Sheryl's suggestion.
And also JZ's.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Got my botox done, and after that, the medical assistant managed to show me someone else's medical record. So yeah, I will not be keeping that six-week followup.

Wow Dana! That is bad. I have to take so much HIPPA training as just medical adjacent, I just can’t imagine.
My Drs office pet peeve is very particular- perhaps JZ gets this to, but perhaps not. I work at a teaching hospital. I always get the trainees. I always have to reexplain what the doctor told them to do. I am not sure if they are comfortable asking because I work at the School of Nursing, but I am actually not a nurse! I don’t know if they just see me as comforting because I work teaching nurses, but as soon as the Dr leaves, they ASK ME what they should do. Do they ask other patients, because that would be weird? It was especially bad when I had my head to toe peeling skin rash because I actually never got s diagnosis. I ended up following the advice of a colleague nurse who told me to try Aquaphor, which works. In the meantime I feel like 10,000 dermatology students saw me naked.

Yikes!
I'm still not over the time the doctor called in a medical student (a young woman) to look at my then-problematic bum.

Our wings are not tired.
We gave up at 5:30 this morning and started back to work. Finishing the packing. My body is sore; DH's is worse. But the packing will finish today no matter what! Last thing to go is my computer, because of course I still have to work!
A silly part of my job, last night I set up one of my doctors to work from home, and you would think I gave him a puppy and a kitty. He was just tickled pink and graciously grateful. It is a whole lot easier when they are sweet than when they are miserable.

Emmett and his gf, Kalena, spent the night at the Garden Unit. The first of our family to sleep there!
It's not really together yet, but they brought their sleeping bags and there were some mattresses to flop on. They were pretty giddy about going out to dinner in SF and the DeYoung museum to celebrate Kalena's birthday.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, that's great! I always loved that first we-have-no-furniture-but-we-must-claim-the-space time sleeping in a new place
Oy, Dana, that's a pretty clear benchmark of bad.
I went to the gym before work again! Yay! I would like a nap now.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Why is it that neurologists - many of whose patients are likely to have more problems dealing with medical obstacles - seem to present the most difficult issues for those patients? (Remembering when I had a stroke and couldn't get an appointment or a refill for the prescription I was convinced was the only thing keeping me from having another stroke.)
