Man. So I'm here. The person I usually see isn't. So now I'm seeing some random doctor who doesn't know me. Argh. Why didn't they just call me to reschedule? So annoyed. I'm sure it will be fine, but I don't relish explaining shit ro a new person. Eh, whatever. I'll survive. Maybe I'll even like him or her. Maybe.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Argh, Jen, I hate that - didn't see my PCP last year and probably won't this year. It may well be they're thinking "A lot of people missed routine care in the last 12 months, just get them in with SOMEONE".

Yeah, it was fine. She was very nice, and I got everything I needed. They were SUPER busy, but she spent all the time I needed. People must be filling up appointment books now that they're vaccinated. I know I will be.
So, thank you for bearing with my needless dread!
Now it's pet store time. It's like they think they deserve food and litter or something. Whatever, cats. (Says the woman who just helped DP set up a kind of epic cat condo in the bedroom. And made an addition for more napping space. Ha!)

When Jim had his annual his PCP said "Let us do ALL the tests!" I wish I could have been there for his visit with the neurologist - he described it as someone whacking different parts of his body with an oversized tuning fork and asking if he could feel it. (He's fine, but the imagery made me giggle for days.)

What is even happening?
Hil, I'm glad your mom is coming home. I hope she's all better soon.
You guys, TWOP was on Jeopardy tonight! They didn't get it.
I missed it. Tara (Wing) got a screenshot of the question: [link]
Arm ache is increasing and the base of my head is starting to hurt. DO NOT LIKE. I took Advil. I’ll save the Tylenol for if a fever develops.
msbelle, I hope it passes quickly for you.
I had a more vigorous response to Moderna than I expected, given DH's light response to Pfizer. I got my shot Thursday afternoon at 3:00. Side-effects peaked on Friday, and were pretty much gone by Saturday afternoon. (My arm is still tender if I lean up against the doorway, etc.)
If I'd had these symptoms and we weren't in a pandemic, I might have called in sick to work, but I wouldn't have gone to a doctor. Drinking a lot of water helped me.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, the tedious tasks I had sprung on me turned out to be less tedious and more stressful than I expected. They entail monitoring online conference sessions and inserting introductory text in the chat section for them and then final text ... only I was locked out. Couldn't access the sessions. Which, of course, had me stressed out and anticipating some repercussions since it's supposed to be SO EASY. I may go home and drink (once the final session I'm responsible for today is over).
On the bright side, Thursday morning I'm scheduled to get my Real ID ... my hair's poufing out like nobody's business, since it's longer than usual and it's really humid, but then no one's driver's license picture looks good (Erma Bombeck had something titled, "When You Look Like Your Passport Photo, It's Time To Go Home").

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Toddson- I have been doing that throughout the pandemic for classes and conferences. It isn’t quite as easy at it looks if no one wants to practice and double check the technology. The theatre person in me tries to be insistent about a rehearsal, but I can’t always get one!
Glad your mom is coming home, Hil!
Fun TWOP news. I was so disappointed that Sarah D. Bunting was not on Extra Hot Great. I feel like I need my weekly fix of her!
Maria’s mother’s calling hours and mass are tomorrow. Then they go on to New Jersey for the burial, which Maria is not looking forward to. I went over on the weekend and her mom had chosen a book and a ring for me, and it was very kind a moving (it was a book about a soap opera we both loved that we spent time reading together with and a turquoise ring to match my grandpas and uncle’s jewelry that I wear). Maria asked me not to get emotional, so I did not. She also wanted her niece Carol and I to have first pick of her good clothes, so now I have some clothes, but I also ended up with a beautiful vintage coat with the scarf I knitted her which matches the lining, whic is pretty meaningful. Maria said it was the one thing that if it wasn’t taken, she couldn’t have given away, so she was glad I took it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, TWOP making the big time but no one getting the question
Oh, that sounds really nice, Sophia
