It is going into my knee. Maybe that is a reason it is so big. Ist is a cortisone shot I think?
I am on my way to my appointment.
edit just remembered my complaint. My snap benefits were supposed to be put in today, but it didn't.
So I'm making a scene and I need an item. Nothing in my library works. Hop on the store. I find an appropriate prop in an asset not on sale. The artist on the asset is constantly in the Featured Artists list. And I'm sure they were there the day before. It was late. Maybe they'll be back today? Nope. Sigh. Time to set this scene aside to work on later. They'll return to the featured list soon. Soon.
Will the other pharmacy necessarily be better? Though I have to say, our local one is pretty good about most things.
Oh I'm sorry. It's so frustrating when that happens. I hope it hits an awesome sale for you soon.
Non-complaint: I've spent 3 hours this morning and have slogged my way through the Medicare decisions and came up with an affordable plan i.e. Supplement Plan F (with high deductable) suitable for my situation. Yeah, it's going to be at least $100/mo more than I'm currently paying just for admission to the game. The government would then pay 80% of doctor & hospital costs but I'd have to pay the remaining 20% until I hit the deductable (a couple thousand). But then the 20% remainder would be paid by the supplement policy. An OK situation if I don't get sick, or if I get really sick many times during the year and only have to pony my cash up once.
But then there's the drugs.
I did find an affordable drug plan. Luckily my drugs are almost all generic and the total costs are similar to what I'm currently paying, EXCEPT for the expensive drug (Xarelto, a blood thinner). HOWEVER, the good news is that there is now a generic version of Xarelto called "Rivaroxaban", authorized just this year. So if I can get my cardiologist to switch me to the generic version that will save me about $1200 per year.
Arghhhhh... Ever feel like you're running blindfolded in front of an active rifle range trying to catch a bullet proof vest thrown at you?
Complaint: All the best information came from the official government Medicare.gov website, they have nice tools for finding and comparing policies available in your area. And also a wonderful form that summarizes all your drug costs by drug name or total yearly costs broken down by month. However, now when I try to use the link provided on the page to go to the company to actually purchase the two plans, they are unreachable. Grrrrrrrr...
Tomorrow, I give up for today. Tomorrow I will continue my quest to don that bullet proof vest. But the next year I'd have to go through this all again, analyzing and predicting my medical needs and running the gauntlet again. Oh joy!
A totally reasonable question, and one I'd be asking if I was just throwing a dart. This is the one my parents and brother use, though; they've had good luck so far, and they have low-wiggle-room prescriptions as well. It's a 15-to-20-ish minute drive from my house (depending on time of day and traffic) whereas the one I had been using is about 5 minutes away. We'll probably just schedule a family social day for the day the meds need picked up, at which point we'd be over that direction anyway.
non-complaint: Little Dude emptied an entire box of mac-and-cheese noodles all over the bed. I'd be annoyed except he's now jumping on the bed and laughing at how they're bouncing all over the place.
Who needs expensive toys?
(Full disclosure: bed is just a mattress and box spring on the floor. I'm not sure how well an actual bedframe would deal with a 60-lb kid jumping on it with that much enthusiasm.)
That sounds promising, good luck
If a facility has a feedback option, use it. Yesterday I had a spine procedure that should last six months and was extremely woozy and in pain after. The concern and care of the team was real and present. As I left I made sure to thank the medical team who had cared for me, the doctor was already with her next patient, and then as I left I spoke to one of the receptionists about how much I have appreciated their kindness and polietness each time I have been there. I also told both groups I would follow-up on the UC Health feedback email. Both times the people lit up with pleasure. The receptionist said their supervisor reviews the feedback emails and acts on them. Except for one time, I have never had to send a negative report. That time, it was a doctor who was filling in for my regular one and my feedback was explicit that what I found objectionable should be taken as an opportunity for education and growth on his part and for other new physicians. (While I was in the waiting room, I watched as a patient spoke sharply to one of the receptionists and she was still calm, pleasant and helpful to him.) It helps that UC Health has signs noting their expectations for staff, patients, and familes behavior posted around the facilities and that violations will not be tolerated by anyone.
But if a store, company, hospital, pharmacy, ... is not interested in 'how they are doing' you are absolutely better off taking your care and business to one who does.
non-complaint: I have a deep-winter jacket I like again!! I haven't been going without, exactly... I do have things I /can/ wear, but they're not great for when the wind chill really drops things. My last one was a men's aviator jacket I'd picked up at a thrift store for $5, and yeah it wasn't in the greatest shape, but oh I loved that thing. Unfortunately after twenty years of service it finally just disintigrated on me about six years ago. I then spectacularly failed to find any other jacket I liked ... I don't like the puffer style, I don't want anything past my butt (annoying getting into/out of car, and I already have a wool one for dress occasions), needs to not cost an absolute fortune, needs to be a color I like.... really, I just wanted a replacement of what I had, but I couldn't find one I could afford... until this week. It came today, and it's stiff and needs broken in... but it feels just right. The weight's perfect, the pockets are all the same style in the same places... just that they'll actually hold things now instead of letting them fall through to the space between the liner and the jacket. If I take good care of it, this might be the last deep-winter jacket I ever need to buy. I'm quite all right with that.
I also have a favorite jacket that has failed recently. I have a car that requires the keychain to be in the car, instead of putting a key into an ignition. And since I can't put the key into an ignition, I have no good place to put this thing. A lot of my clothing isn’t meant to carry things. Like the pockets are just nonfunctional decorations or there are no pockets at all. So I kept everything in the pockets of this jacket. And I would wear this jacket when I needed to have things with me.
Not so long ago, a hole was worn into the pocket that held the car’s keychain. It would be only a matter of time before the key would fall between the seat of the car and the center console, which would be the end of me.
I have other jackets but I find most of them unsuitable for some reason or another. I need something that would be called “breathable”, and I need lots and lots of pockets. I need a breathable version of that jacket Michael Jackson had with all the zippers.
I feel your pocket pain. Jacket 1.0 had rips in the fabric of most of the pockets in such a way that anything that went in them fell through to the space between the jacket and liner. This one I can use all the pockets! It's murder to find something with decent pockets, though. For me I don't really worry about breathable, because if I can manage something breathable I probably am not bothering with the extra step of putting on a coat. (Heck, I'm the crazy lady out there walking the trails in a T-shirt at 40 degrees.) Weight, though... I like a good, heavy coat. I have a decently heavy weighted blanket and am half-considering getting a second one because it really could stand a bit more, IMHO.
These days I pretty much either need to take the Mom Bag (I feel "diaper bag" undersells the array of stuff in it, even though diapers are indeed in there too), or I throw on a belt with one of the pouches from my reenactor gear on it. I'm not much for a conventional-type purse if I can avoid it, though I pretty universally have my camera bag with me, so my cell (emergency use only) and wallet live in that.
..,just ordered a pair of gloves of the winter. It doesn't get below freezing here much but the dampness,' rain, and brisk winds out of the Columbia Gorge makes it feel colder Being a bit thin blooded, I also feel the cold mire Mainly needed something tat was water resistant and lined.. Found the perfect solution in a pair or work gloves that actually look more like casual ones (not the typical "high visibility" orange).
As to winter jackets I have my lined leather one that weighs about 20#, still fits, is waterproof, and has lots of pockets that I paid 25$ for several yeas ago.that
The police officer who lives nearly opposite to us had a car with one of those radio car keys, a Range Rover. Silly money vehicle. He came very close to having it stolen earlier this year. The key emits a radio signal, and if someone can get near enough with a computer to capture the signal and response codes, they can emit those codes and drive off with the vehicle.
The only reason he didn't lose his car was he heard the person with the computer walking round his house trying to get close enough to the key to capture the signal, and disturbed them.
The fact both of them are Detectives meant they could muster the resources from the Police to go after the attempted thieves, and caught the gang in 3 days. A group that had been stealing up to 2 cars a day for over a year, value over £8 million. But until they tried to steal a detective's car, there was not the slightest interest or effort from the Police. Quel surprise.
It appears 8% of cars with radio keys are stolen in the UK every year. For some reason I want a real mechanical key for an old banger nobody will want to steal.

Richard
And the PA is back. A happy ending, I guess.
I decided to work on a thought experiment about computers and their log base. We use log 2, but that doesn't mean that the aliens use that log system for their computers. I'm asking copilot ai to figure out what is possible. Apparently there can be log 7.9.
Also having issues with my housemate. I think she wants me to take the kitchen trash out today, but I did it yesterday. She didn't ask verbally but left a trash bag on the trash can. I'm getting tired of her trouble. I'm not going to take the kitchen trash out today. I don't know what is her excuse for not doing the trash. I have some health issues which includes my left knee. That affects my right knee.
I don't need to explain my health issues to her. It isn't about why I can't deal with the trash but why she can't. She has not done anything with trash since the trash truck came Tuesday. I'm not going to do anything to passive her inability to do the trash. If she has health issues, that is one thing. Initial is I-don't-want-to-do-it syndrome I am not happy.
...that is why I finally gave in and got my own place. True it takes a fairly good bite out of my meagre SS income (about 46%). but the lack of unnecessary drama in my home life and general peace of mind is so worth it.
I'm lucky... everyone talks about how difficult teenagers are, but Teen Kiddo is seriously the world's best roommate. There aren't really assigned chores (except stuff that's in my wheelhouse because I'm the adult/parent) because if someone notices that something needs done, we just... do it. Once in a while they'll even ask if there's anything they can help with that they haven't noticed. (Most times it's like "yeah, hey, can you get that thing from downstairs because if I go down there, your brother's going to think we're going for a walk and get his hopes up, and dawn/decent weather is a long way off.")
And neither of us ever has to wonder if the TP roll will have anything on it when we sit down. It's a thing of beauty.
I expect that is from your successful and wonderful parenting. Teen Kiddo sounds great and will one day be a great Adult Kiddo to be extra proud of. And all due to a good mother.
My housemate took the trash out before I got back home. I don't know what that is all about.
My ride came early. I am scheduled the ride between 7:45 and 8:15, but the driver called at 7 am saying he was here. I had not gotten out of bed. I quickly got dressed while getting confused if it is Sunday or Monday. I finally figured out it is Sunday.
Also I think I packed my toothpaste in the bag I wanted to bring Monday. It probably is still in there. I left that bag at home as I don't need it for church. At least I took a shower last night or I might have packed my body wash?
My vision is still a tad blurry from sleep.
We are in a neighborhood of cookie cutter houses. There are variations but basically from the same cookie cutter bag.
Some of it, maybe. I think part of it is looking at how the ex- behaved towards both of us and deciding they never wanted to be anything like him. Which... not a lesson a kid should ever have to learn that way, but at least they now have an awesome therapist to help them work through things in ways I can't. Sometimes the best one can do is damage control and cleanup.
Why are some writers afraid of writing Mary Sue's? It doesn't seem to take much work to fully develop a character.
I rather ask why is that character a certain way. I don't like the Mary Sue test quizzes. Ooh that is an idea. Find a Mary Sue test and develop a character that it would say is a Mary Sue, but ask why she hasthose traits. What caused her to be that way? Why is that a weakness? What makes her that way?
Well, Dante certainly wasn't....
I was under the impression you lived under the supervision of some type of pseudo authority that required you to do certain things, and restricted you from doing other things. I don’t see why the roommate wouldn’t have the same restrictions and requirements.
If nothing else, it seems like there would be somebody you could talk to if you have issues with the roommate.
Mary Sue characters by their nature lack the shortcomings that compelling drama is typically made of. The reason Mary Sue is a pejorative is because it reflects lazy characterization.
A self-insert is not necessarily a Mary Sue, and a Mary Sue is not necessarily a self-insert.
I used to live in a group home, but not anymore. I am now more or less on my own. It is an independent living situation.
I can stay out as late as I want in theory. I got a text from the GM who used to work at the location I used to work, she is now at another mall. I just got a text this morning about working tomorrow.
True, but the Venn diagram is pretty close to a circle, and from what I remember, the dude still qualifies on both accounts (of course depending on used definition, which has evolved over time). I really don't care enough to get into an involved discussion on it, though. The hours I was forced to spend on Dante are hours I will never get back, and I have scrubbed the details from my brain as best I was able. I mostly remember thinking he was obnoxious and wanting to throw the book across the room.
IMHO if people want to write a Mary Sue of any type, they should go for it if it makes them happy. If other people don't like it, they can (for the most part) put the story down and find one they like better.
Complaint: My bloody noses are back: Arghhhh..... Last year, around this time, after my heart attack, and starting on proper blood thinner medications, I started having weekly, sometimes daily, massive bloody noses.
Had to go to the emergency room a couple times, and it took four months of visits to an otolaryngologist (I love that word), i.e. ear/nose/throat doctor) with cauterizations, packing, and medications before it was resolved for any length of time. I've done OK since then, until a week or so ago. Out of the blue, they've started again.
Not as massive as before, and are handled simply, but are spontaneous and disruptive to my quietude, and scary if I go out into the wide world for a bit of adventure. I think it has to do with the humidity.
Recent cold, dry spells with the furnace running have correlated with my episodes.
Non-complaint: I've decided what to get for my birthday. A nice room humidifier.
I would rather have a new electric blanket or a new jacket, but bleeding on them would be bad.
So, the humdifier has been ordered from Amazon and will be here on my birthday. Yay! So, I guess it's the old electric blanket and the stretched out, frayed, stained, gray hoodie for yet another year.
Although I think I'll still go for a nice meal at Olive Garden on, or near my birthday, and get a margarita too. Mmmm...
I asked copilot ai to create a Pixar superhero picture using my friend Oscar. I got this table.
I request it again and got the image.
I do not know what that table in the first image means. It looks like gibberish to me.
