Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I know I need a new doctor but as I've said before there's a real doctor shortage here. I've been on the College of Physicians and Surgeon's website looking for doctors that may be taking on new patients. I've gone on waiting lists. No luck so far.
" I mean, don't people with anxiety and depression still get sick?"
You are exactly right! People do!
What kind of blood tests did the doctor order?
So I'm frustrated. I had my dr's appt. today. He did a very cursory exam. "Lift your arms, turn your neck this way and that way." Then sent me for x-rays.
I always feel brushed off by my doc. I feel that once a doctor has prescribed you with an anxiety or antidepressant drug they categorize you and treat you like you are a hypochondriac. I mean, don't people with anxiety and depression still get sick?
So I'll see what the x-rays come back with. I'm not hoping for something serious but I hope they show something just so I can get some relief.
The travelling must be getting tiring for you I am glad you got your deposit back. Is your house still for sale?
Getting some catchup jobs done. Feels so good to be home.
Golden So glad you are back home and that DD is winding up the last of this lot. Hope she continues to do well.
Becky you are amazing. So much going on.
Finally I am back home with water and sewer!!!!Yay!!!
Several of the workers have remarked that it shouldn't have taken this long. I agree but there wasn't much I could do. Maybe I will follow up once all the work is done. I did talk to the city and the my insurance rep without much effect.
Apparently someone has switched my lawnmower for a defective one. Sil was looking at it and said its not mine. The back fence has been partially dismantled for a while now so it would be easy to do. I doubt I can put it as part of the claim but I will ask. New sod should be laid soon to repair the lawn.
Dd has her final chemo of this lot tomorrow. She did pretty well last time but is very tired. It was good having some extra time with all of them.
Hoping there will be no more extraordinary events around my house for a while. I don't need any more challenges for a while. Happy to be in my own bed tonight!!! 😊
Still staying at dd's but spending time at home every day. It certainly isn't ideal but manageable. I am recovering from a bout of bronchitis - too much stress I guess.
It's been a very challenging 6 months since ex died. I think I am burned out somewhat and have done little in the house. recently. Time to get back on track and toss/ donate more stuff. R is in the early stages of replacing the carpet in the condo with hardwood. I couldn't face vacuuming again.
Dd goes for her 6th and last chemo this week. She did pretty well last time but is very tired which, we know, is par for the course. Her surgery is set for the end of June.
Dgd and her bf have plans to move south to the city. I think this is a good thing. Dgs is feeling the stress but hanging in there going to school. for the most part which isn't always easy for stressed teens.
The weather has been strange and trees are leafing and flowering a month late. I saw the first crabapple blooms yesterday. A welcome sight! The dandelions, of course, are doing fine! Looking forward to, hopefully, a less eventful few months and getting the house sold. Summer is a great season here.
and to all going through a rough time!!
don't worry, i'm verrrrrry patient (when there's chocolate). i'll just wait at your doorstep till the next supply.
looking forward to gobbling it all down,
bundle of joy :)
Of course I would recognize you!
There is never anyone coming to our doorstep except Instacart deliveries.
Sorry we could not wait and the chocolate caramels are gone.
Ali, I'm SO proud of you! May you go from strength to strength!
sooo, i was gone from internet, and that break lasted 47.3 hours, haha - here i am again. but seriously, i'll disappear now for a while.
it's just that i saw this (what you wrote, Sendhelp):
"We have chocolate in the house, come on over!
Brownies, Salted Caramels, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate covered Almonds.
And other non-chocoholic foods:
Berry Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
Bear Claws"
what??????????? I'M COMING OVER RIGHT NOW TO YOUR HOME!!!! :) :) :) :)
i want to gobble all of that.
since you've never met me, it might be hard to recognize me at your doorstep. but i literally look like a bundle of joy. you can't miss me.
hug!
bundle of joy :)
