I am so looking forward to this weekend and being able to rest up a bit. It has been a week of running around and appointments. I think I work harder now than when I actually had a job and was forced to work 60 plus hours...or perhaps I just feel it more.
It has been raining quite a bit lately...an event that is always welcomed in the desert lands of West Texas. I was secretly hoping that my doctor's appointment would be cancelled, as I hate driving in the rain.
The nurse practitioner as expected doubled my dosage of high blood pressure medication. Hopefully I will soon get it under control. On a positive note, I did not pay $95.00 for the office visit but $59.00 and my medication still falls in the $4.00 generic category even though the dosage is higher.
When she asked me if I had any other problems, I hesitated for a minute...then told her that my legs had been hurting due to the weather. She told me to take Tylenol. Did not want to mention anything about my diagnosis of Fibromyositis as I could see dollar signs dancing in my head.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Sometimes, I think I am psychic...remember I mentioned that only for one night we were the second seed? Well, I was right...only for one night, we are the sixth seed now. However, I do remember back when I followed the Houston Rockets, they managed to win a back to back championship against all odds and in that same seed...so why not us?
We had a severe electrical storm Wednesday night. I could not for the life of me get a decent reception either on the radio or online. I got one of my hunches and knew we would lose...so I just turned off the radio. While it does not rank up there with that prior "unmentionable loss"...it still stung!

Playing Catch-Up
I feel like I have been out of commission for a month instead of ten days. What pissed me off is that I caught it at MY doctor's office and not at the multiple doctor's offices I take my mother to throughout the month.
Did you know that if you do not visit your doctor for a year you have to start the process all over again including paying the hefty fee as a new client? You would think someone would have mentioned this to me along the way...but I had no idea.
If I am going to be able to take care of someone else, I better be in good health myself. Finally decided to quit putting off going to the doctor and got some female tests out of the way. Hospital called to tell me that I needed to have a doctor to send my test to because I was not a patient of Dr. X.
What do you mean I am not a patient? No, you are not...you have not been to the doctor in over three years. Long story short, had to go to my former doctor's office and fill out paperwork. When I got there it was during the lunch hour and there were not that many patients there. However, there was this rude woman with a horrible cough whom she told anyone who would listen that she caught it in Fort Worth.
She lost her insurance card and was waiting for them to fax it to the doctor or she would not be able to be seen. Why in the world would she not cover her mouth? I was sitting in the other end of the small waiting room trying to cover my face with a Kleenex. Unfortunately, I had to wait to be seen by the nurse practitioner as my doctor was out of town and an appointment with him could not be scheduled until April!
The next day I was feeling lousy. I tried to stay away from my mother but two days later she caught it as well. All because of one inconsiderate woman who at her age should of known better.
I can not believe we are in the last week of February. We have not really had a winter except for a few cold days here and there. In early February the trees were already covered with that green thing and now they are blooming.
A cold front is expected tomorrow but nothing severe or harsh like the country is experiencing up north this winter. My goodness there is no way I could possibly live in Boston, New York, Chicago, etc, etc.
As soon as those worthless mesquite trees start blooming...you will hear my cries...:-(
If you are from up north, here in the South we skip spring or we might have two weeks of it and then we jump to summer. I am dreading it.
Guess what place people do not frequent on a Saturday night? If you guessed the Laundromat...you're right! The laundromat is about a mile away starting Monday the main road will be closed for repairs for a month. If I want to go wash, I will have to travel to the north part of the city and then head back down south. It will turn into a twenty mile round trip. This gal is not having any of that. So true to my procrastinating ways, I waited to the last minute to head there.
I went at noon and spent two and a half hours. Returned this evening and spent three more. I was the only customer besides the lady who takes care of the place. That is one less thing off of my To Do List.
Only good thing about having computer problems and being sick...I have only used 3.85 of my 6 GB plan. Wish AT&T would roll over the data I do not use this month on to the next month, like they do with their cell phone plans. I am perhaps asking for too much?
Please forgive me if I have not stopped by your blog, I hope to get caught up with all my blog reading soon.
