2089 today/dreams

I didn't get in to work until a bit after 1 p.m.--for whatever
reasons, Dr. D didn't want to have the pre-op meeting *and* lab work
done at his office, so I went to him, had a pee test, got groped (KY
ickies for hours afterwards--I hate that crap), talked about the
procedure, then drove 20 minutes to the hospital where it's going to
be done, went through admissions & then to pre-op and THEN to the lab
where I got to give a blood sample & pee in another cup. What a giant
waste of my time. Then I thought I'd avoid the mess that is usually I-
35 by taking a back way, having forgotten that the 'back way' (Lamar
blvd) is under construction, down to 1 lane in many places, and the
turn from Lamar to 15th (the street I work on) was completely shut
down! So, that was another hour. argh! Glad they didn't take my blood
pressure after that! Anyhoo, here I am. Hopefully I'll get a little
something done before time to go home.
===========================================

Dreamt about the .s last night. They were having a problem with
Pookie eating rotten food and making himself sick. For whatever
reasons I could not/would not suggest that they clean up their dishes
right away after eating, I think I suggested putting baking soda or
salt on everything after everyone was done so he would not go eating
dirty stuff out of peoples' plates. We were eating peas at my house,
my table (only they were like small brussels sprouts in pea pods) and
the pea pods looked a little bruised and Mike A was worrying that
they were old. I said no, I'd just bought them that day, they just
got that color when they were cooked. They were organic/farmers
market and I was thinking to myself something tacky like "of course
you don't know what fresh food looks like, you eat out of cans &
boxes)

evile: hi :)

SkyeDS: hey there :)

evile: I didn't get to work until after 1 today. argh.

SkyeDS: I didn't get here till noon meself

evile: wow.

SkyeDS: weather

evile: I had to go visit Dr. Davis & then he sent me elsewhere for
all my lab work for Thurs.
Our creek out back was *roaring* this morning.

SkyeDS: I believe it

SkyeDS: how was the drs?

evile: Not too bad. Last time, I got my pre-op instructions & talk
& labwork all at Dr. Davis' office. This time I wasted some time
driving to another place for the lab. But, not bad. Seton Southwest
is nice. they have a labyrinth.

evile: I forgot about the construction on S. Lamar...spent about an
HOUR getting from Seton to work. Very irritating.

SkyeDS: :(

evile: Oh well. I had a note from Dr. D's office, I have plenty of
sick and othe r leave time accrued. I just wanted to get something
done today at work...

SkyeDS: I thought we were definitely on for Easter Sunday in the
park, but now Sineater says that is tentative (sigh)

SkyeDS: he said Lynn was trying for that Sunday and I pointed out
last night that I would like to know not tentatively like, before the
day of

evile: Last time I talked to Lynn, she said she was planning on being
in San Antonio on Easter Sunday, so I don't know where the Easter
Sunday thing came from....

SkyeDS: my point exactly

evile: And I'm not committing myself to *anything* this weekend. I
may get thru the surgery with no ill effects, I may spend the weekend
on the couch popping ibuprofin like candy...I don't know

evile: Unless they talked & Sineater suggested Easter sunday to [brother A], or
[brother A] suggested it to him, I don't know where that day/date came from.

SkyeDS: this is what he said right after talking to Lynn

SkyeDS: and I told him last night

SkyeDS: I don't do "tentative"

SkyeDS: we have fence to build

evile: I think Sineater may be confused. Lynn probably said "not Easter
Sunday, but sometime after that" or soemthing, and Sineater picked
up "Easter Sunday" and lost the rest.

evile: Take the 'doormat' sign off, baby. If you have other things
you need to do, t here is no reason to be at [brother A]/{Rubber Pig}/Sineater's beck &
call.

SkyeDS: I told him I didn't want to get up, get dressed oen way, wait
around to load, to find out midday that we aren't going anywhere

SkyeDS: if we don'nt know by 3 days before, then, we workin far as
I"m concerned

evile: Honey, do what you need to do. And don't let anybody make you
feel bad for doing what HAS to be done.
My much-estranged friend Donna is going to be at Scarby this weekend
& has been trying to guilt me into being there, since she's
coming 'all that way'...well, BS, she can't be bothered to email or
call but I'm supposed to come a-runnin' when she calls? Nope.

evile: I don't think anybody has said 'Easter Sunday'...I think Sineater
mis-heard. And you're right, it's too close to the day to be trying
to scrape together plans. You have other plans, that's that.

SkyeDS: it isn't like I have not got a history of being extremely
flexible about plans

SkyeDS: after all

evile: yup.

evile: For Xtians that's prett much a 'family' day,anyway, so it may
be the same for Messianic Jews. {Rubber Pig} will probably want to do church
& then have the kids spend time with grandparents, aunts, uncles,
etc. in San Antonio.

SkyeDS: why I didn't get it to begin with

evile: I would say go ahead and make your own plans, get your fencing
supplies set up, etc. and do what you planned on doing already. Don't
waste time second-guessing anyone or waiting to hear things from
people who likely didn't say them in the first place

SkyeDS: nods

evile: Lynn will keep us all posted when there *is* an actual plan,
I'm sure.

SkyeDS: nods

evile: I don't think I've ever known her not to give at least a
week's notice for something.

SkyeDS: men just don't make good secretaries.

evile: not your men, anyway. :P

SkyeDS: nope

evile: the director of this agency 2 directors ago had an all-male
staff. Seemed to work out pretty well.

evile: pretty sure they were not on 'our team' however...

SkyeDS: oddly enough the top five executive assistants in the country
(by salary) are men

evile: hm.

evile: wonder which team those five are on :P

evile: In addition to the ablation, I'm getting a d&c for my little
friend, the cyst. It is going to be wierd to be all done fussing &
fighting to get things taken care of.

SkyeDS: wow.

evile: Even wierder when the Depo is totally out of my system, I
imagine.

SkyeDS: nods

evile: This is all I've wanted for so long. I don't know what to want
after this :)

SkyeDS: not want, just be happy :)

evile: It's going to be cool. Wierd. But cool.

SkyeDS: if all of my medical problems just went away at once I don't
know what I'd do with myself either

evile: Once you have your health 100%, its like...the rest of your
problems just kind of line up & seem reasonable & easy to deal with.
Or at least that's the way I'm feeling.

evile: I'm glad that technology happened on the timeline it did, and
retrospectively glad Dr. D did not give me a hysterectomy 4 or so
years ago when I asked for it...

SkyeDS: nods

evile: Essure + ablation will do the same thing, without the trauma
of losing internal organs & such. :)

SkyeDS: :)

evile: The rest of my problems are totally within my control to fix.
I don't have to beg any experts or professionals to do things for me,
I just have to get off my butt and do them myself. It's very cool to
know this

SkyeDS: I bet.

evile: I don't think I'm going to be worth a crap at work tomorrow,
even though I'm going to be here a full 8 hours.

evile: It's almost time for me to go re-park Tom's trooper. And then
I'll be running around tossing papers when I get back up here. So I
should probably say 'bye now...

SkyeDS: /me hugs

SkyeDS: be good :)

evile: *hugs* Take care of you. Have a safe drive home :)

SkyeDS: ty u2 :)
