the_rckA few things went wrong today. I got the hours for the Comcast office wrong. They closed before Scott got around to starting to pull out the cable equipment. Then it started raining while Scott was doing the grocery shopping so that his plans to mow the lawn became impossible. And, finally, I discovered, about an hour after we got back from running errands, that the family history document I’d printed for the genetics counseling people was still on the couch and not in the envelope we’d already mailed. I’m a little worried that I mailed them something I didn’t intend to because there should have been two packets in the envelope, and I was quite sure there were.
The family history is only four pages long, so I stuck it in a normal envelope, and Scott took that to the post office. I also emailed the person I was sending it to. Hopefully, all of the bits will find each other. It’s still frustrating.
We also completely forgot about a family thing we should have gone to. Scott’s aunt and her husband celebrated their 80th birthdays in South Bend, Indiana. We were planning to go if Scott wasn’t working, but we completely forgot. I feel bad about that, but it also would have been over three hours each way for two or three hours in a park with food that might or might not be safe. I suspect Scott feels worse about this than I do, and I have no idea what we’re going to tell his parents.
I’m still achy. I keep rubbing my legs, but that really doesn’t help the joints much. I’m also desperately, desperately wanting something sweet and/or caffeinated. More the sweet than the caffeinated. But, of course, I didn’t have Scott buy anything that would do the trick. He would have if I’d asked, but that stuff is so terrible for me and is really a waste of money.
Scott is really pleased by having gotten up at 8:00 this morning. He didn’t sleep himself out, but he got more sleep than he does normally, and he got moving early enough to get some things done. I, on the other hand, got less sleep than I'm used and stressed out over needing to get up at a particular time and am generally miserable.
I’m puzzled. My primary care doctor asked if I wanted to see an endocrinologist and, when I said I did, she said she’d redo the various blood sugar tests when I do the thyroid blood test in July and then decide what to do. I need to check, but I think that my primary insurance will cover if I self-refer as long as I see a doctor on their list (and all the folks at the UMHS clinics are). I don’t think Medicare, my secondary insurance, cares who I see as long as they’re qualified and there’s some justification.
