Half Day Monday

I don't know if taking off for the dentist will be a barrel of laughs but it'll be nice to get away for an afternoon.  At least the weather is nice.  

Now I do dread seeing my emails. Last week two of the three people who give me the most work were gone.  It was nice to catch up and easier but now it's game on.  I'm worried about one situation.  One person kind of expects me to magically figure things out when I need their help.  I have a feeling I'm going to get blamed for this situation and that aggravates me.  I get tired of getting blamed for stuff when I'm supported at times.  When they say things roll downhill, I feel like I got a boulder coming at me.

Honey Bear spent more time with me yesterday.  I'm glad she's comfortable and is getting used to us.  I kind of worried she would be too standoffish.  She's looking out the window now so that's a good thing.

I looked at some of my past blood work and I noticed that there was an upward trend in my glucose.  You know, I'm looking to be medicated on anything but I do question why my last set of numbers was glossed over when it fits a certain category and there's a history of it in my family.  Maybe I'm worrying about nothing but glad to be getting another person taking a second look at it.  I have had this thing with my feet for some time that's made me wonder and worry a little bit.  It's like they need to stretch out or get moving, kind of feel like they're falling asleep.  A numbness maybe?  I'll sit at my desk some mornings, take my shoes off and stretch out my toes or massage them.  It's like they need a little something to get them going.    

I definitely needed the anxiety help this morning.  I think my teeth are fine but this dentist makes me nervous.  Years ago, he gauged my mom when she got her false teeth and was maybe a little bit on the rude side.  It was over 20 years ago and people can mellow out. I don't think he's going to yell at me.  I worry he might find five or six things wrong and expect me to come up with the money. I don't think he will but I still get nervous.  This is my third time seeing him and he's been ok for the most part.  I know I'll have to change at some point because he's maybe 76 or 77?  I hate that the one that I saw for over 20 years is retiring this year.  Not sure if this dentist will do the same.  

No more retirements from anyone, please.  I have one more phone call to make for an appointment and I better not hear, Oh, he'll be retiring in the new year.  NOOOO!!!  I think he's around my age but I know sometimes people have had enough and I don't blame them.  One of the doctors I saw retired in his early 50s when I called to see if my mom could go see him after one of her doctors retired.  That surprised me.  Then again, his wife was my dentist for a year and she gauged me horribly.  He probably had enough money from all the money she ripped off from her patients.  Yeah.  That's another blog post.

I guess I should start my short day. 

I hope the good humans have a good day.

Not the Good Rain

I knew there would be rain but not the heavy kind.  Yeah that kind of sucks.  I will go out in it though to go do my errands and ShopKick.  I'll see how the morning plays out. I still didn't get a response from my insurance agent.  This just irks me.  I worried maybe I'd get a call when I was at the dentist or in meetings where I couldn't answer.  Nope.  No worries there.  Sigh.  They better call on Monday.  I'd like to know what my choices are and if they are higher than what I'm paying.  Is that too much to ask?  Apparently.  My mom asked if I could speak to the guy that runs the agency.  I told her No.  He just tells one of his agents to contact me and then they're mad at me for contacting the big guy.  I got my car insurance policy years ago with his dad and although the son is nice, he is definitely not his father.  I might have to look at other options if the insurance is too ridiculous. I don't k...

A Tale of Two Assistants

This week I heard from a co-worker from the office wishing me a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  That was nice. I liked Kallie.  I had to do a double take when I saw the names on the email.  Irma, Frick and Frack, my old manager.  Gross and gross.  I knew where this was going. The emails flew in about how everyone misses each other and merry Christmas.  My manager sent a picture of a baby and I guess she became a grandma.  There were a lot of things I wanted to say but silence was my only option. Kallie had left our company after she got promoted and then came back. I was surprised.  I had one interaction when I helped out her group and she said hello.  We exchanged pleasantries but really haven't said much to each other since.  The Thinker used to be in Kallie's group and I said if there was one person that was good to work with, it was Kallie.  I mean it, too. Kallie and I went to two different places even though it was the sa...

Bad Mood Recipient

 I better not be the recipient of anyone's bad mood when I sign in tomorrow.  I might look forward to the dentist in the afternoon if I got to deal with that in the morning.  The diva put up her doctor's name and location of her appointment.  I felt like I violated HIPPA without even trying.  I'm not sharing my location.  Mind your business.  Someone said they were going to the dentist and she replied, I love clean teeth.  Well, I would hope we all like clean teeth.  What a weird person.  The thirst for attention is real.  No shock on the former cheerleader revelation. Today I had a bit of a better day with Honey Bear.  She slept on my bed for most of the afternoon.  I was shocked.  I fell asleep for awhile.  I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn't go back to sleep. I took something and I hate that it makes me sleepy during the day.  I hate that I asked to have my milligrams reduced because I sai...
