Took my mother to her ophthalmologist appointment. This is the second time she sees this particular doctor and even though we both have a hard time understanding him she seems to like him better than the other two she has seen in the past.
He had concluded his examination and we were headed for the door. He was in back of me when I thought I heard him say, “I have always hated Betty Boop”. I thought perhaps since he has a thick accent that I had misunderstood, so I turned around and said “I am sorry what did you say?” To which he replied, “ I have always hated Betty Boop, something about her big head and little body. Who in the world has a big head like that? Just something wrong about that doll, I just hate her.” I thought a reaction like that especially coming from a MAN was hilarious. I smiled at him and said, “You hate her and I LOVE her”.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I was wearing my Betty Boop scrub top. I laughed all the way to the car. I would love to know the real story behind his hatred of a cartoon character. Why would a MAN care one way or the other about how big Betty’s head is? Maybe if he had said “dislike” but to use the word “hate”? Did a girl in his distant past like Betty Boop but hate him?
We swung by HEB to fill the prescription he gave her but just like there are benefits to living in a small town there are also drawbacks. It was not in stock and they will have
to order it from San Antonio should be here Sunday.
I was talking to the pharmacy technician about their Wellness Health Fair that they hold the second weekend of the month and she told me about HEB Rx Rewards for people like myself that do not have health insurance and can obtain select generic medications for $5.00 for a 30 day supply. Decided to enroll and my $5.00 membership fee will actually be free because it comes with a $5.00 off coupon for one of the tests I want to take. More on that on a future blog.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
