Several of you have asked about my husband, and how he is doing. He does feel some better. He went to get the appliance for the TMJ, and they are making it now.
However, our neurologist , who is sending us to Birmingham, is dragging his feet. We have been out of the hospital for a week now. We got home last Thursday. I called the dr. office on Friday to make sure they were making the appt. , and to give them my cell phone number, so I would not miss their call. They assured me they were on top of it. No word Monday or Tuesday…so I called them Tuesday afternoon to see what was happening. All was well, they said. The doc was going to discuss the appt. with Don on his visit Wednesday morning. O.K. So, he goes in on Wednesday, and the doc doesn’t know why the appt. hasn’t been made…but never fear…HE is on it now and he says ,”You will hear from us tomorrow!”. That was yesterday…guess what? You got it! At around 4:00. Don called the office and they told him that they make all their calls around closing time…so the phone nurse would call soon. Guessing time again! You smart friends…you KNOW we did not hear. So, this morning, the office manager will get a call from me just as soon as their office opens. This is ridiculous. Here we are waiting for an appt. for a possible life threatening condition…and they can’t get around to making an appt. I mean…how much time does it take to make a phone call, and set it up. Is there anyone, anywhere who operates an efficient office anymore? Does anyone do what they SAY they will do? I’m sure if it was their family, they would have been no delay. I have tried to be patient and let things occur in their own time. I am not a patient person….actually…I am a very impatient person. But, this is something the Lord has helped me with through the years, and I have learned how to “REST” and not get my panties in a wad. But, I’ve reached my limit…my panties are so wadded up…I just may have to throw them away. So…now I am going to “PUT ON MY BIG GIRL PANTIES…AND DEAL WITH IT!!!” Say a little prayer…..no, not for me…for the girls in that office!
I don’t mean to sound so negative lately, BUT…I think I just need to vent. My grief today if swim suits. Now, I know swim suits are of the devil :), but what bugs me so much is this. Why is it that when you see an article on “swimsuits to fix every figure flaw”……the models HAVE no figure flaws! They are as thin as I was in 8th grade…(but way more developed). A suit for a flabby tummy…she’s anorexic. She wouldn’t know flab if it hit her in the face. And for those with “ample bosom”…well if THAT is ample…..someone needs an optometrist. Oh, and for those with a “larger thigh area”…..let’s just say her thighs can barely hold up her body. I know you have seen these articles. There are even some on the internet….saying they’ve found the suits for “REAL WOMEN”. Well, it doesn’t get any more real than this…my stomach pooches out, I have saddlebags like my grandma, and my bosom is ample enough for me, thank you very much. Can you find a suit to fix all those things? I have come to the realization that I am never…NEVER going to like the way I look in a swimsuit. I do want to look my best, but “my best” will NEVER be in a swimsuit! And, life will go on. I am going to Hawaii in 43 days, 8 hours and 1 minute with my 2 best friends. And I am going to go swimming in the pool. I’m going to lay on the beach, and lounge by the pool. This body has served me well and I’m going to treat it to a vacation in the sun. Now if I somehow magically lose 20 pounds before then…I show you a picture….if not…you’ll have to be content with a picture of a lovely island sunset.
I don’t know about you, my friends, but I wish someone would stick a sock in Rosie Donnell’s mouth. Does she not have the most annoying thoughts and words to say? It seems that every news program I turn on, they are reporting what Rosie said. Or how she responded to someone else. Even that she lost her job. Well, for anyone who cares, I DON”T CARE. As far as I am concerned, it matters absolutely zero to me what she thinks or says or does…only the fact that it intrudes upon my daily news. Who decided that her views were so important to the masses, anyway? Do you know anyone who follows her brand of politics or lifestyle? She is just a regular person with a big mouth who makes enough noise to get attention. I think ABC finally wised up when they decided to get rid of her on the view. Not that I watch it very much. It used to be interesting when Meridith Viera and Star Jones were on because you felt like you at least heard a balanced discussion…but now, the only voice of reason is Elizabeth Hasslebeck and it seems as the goal of the other 3 is to drown out whatever she has to say. So, Rosie…be gone…I, for one, will be glad.
O.K. Here we go…DRIVING 101….When ever you have the need to pull into a median…always…always…ALWAYS pull to the RIGHT! Whenever you pull to the right, you have a clear view to the traffic you will be pulling into. HOWEVER….if you pull in on the LEFT side, and some one pulls into the median with you….they will be forced to pull in on the Right. THEN…neither one of you will have a view to the traffic. You will only be able to see the other car and possibly inch out into the traffic, which could cause an accident and all sorts of problems, like not having a car to drive for a while, possible bodily injury and even a delay to that fabulous shopping trip you were going on before you so carelessly pulled onto the wrong side of the median. And you know how mad that will make you! Just remember…if you have need to pull into a median…DO RIGHT ! Thank you very much!
P.S. And to that crazy lady who messed me up yesterday …in the median…both of us trapped by her actions…I apoligize for the exasperated look that I gave you….but it’s a good thing for you that I was going to the tanning salon and not the mall!
