I Pooped Out

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This has happened quite a few times lately.

After the lawyer visit today I came home, had lunch and had been fully prepared to go to the eye doctor this afternoon.

Well, perhaps going into intricate details of my own mortality (and planning for same) had something to do with it, but my plug was pulled.  I could not have gone to the Dr. if there was a million dollar reward posted for doing it.

Bottom line, I called and cancelled and was put on the list for possible cancellations  (in case one opens up before the newly-scheduled appointment).

I hope one does, because I don’t like going to crowded places during the cold and flu season.

God bless everybody

Totally Out of Gas

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Today might have been the least productive day of my entire life.

My ambition right now is down to zero; there is a  ton of stuff to do, a load of things to be attended to in the coming week and much that I should have addressed today.

But I am totally out of gas.

I have a nice piece of steak for supper and with the fresh spinach I plan to have with it, I think the nutritional bases are covered.

But I am still tired.

I will take it easy for the remainder of the day, get to bed early and try again tomorrow.

Have a good night, all.

God bless everybody.

May I Rant a Little?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Things are really getting to me today.  Somehow my coping mechanism isn’t all it should be.

It seems like everything I have tried to do today has been completely undoable.  And to boot the computer threw a tantrum and shut itself down over some imagined slight.  Crikey!

I know things will get better, but the piles of stuff that I have to do sometimes seem insurmountable, and feel like they are growing instead of diminishing.

I have to take my car out for a run tomorrow to make sure it will start.

At least I got an appointment on Monday with the eye doctor.

Thanks for letting me rant.

God bless everybody

I Thought I Was Doing So Well

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

The title says it all.

I thought all was going along just fine.  That should have been a big clue, because nobody does just fine in my current position.  Losing the love of your life leaves nobody just fine.

This morning my wheels fell off–I did nothing but cry, could not function, and forgot everything I had ever learned about operating WordPress.

So I took the morning off and wept.

Yes, I have a wonderful daughter.  And I love her.  But she is not Lee. And nobody ever will be.

I do feel a lot better now, and thank you all for letting me have my tantrum

God bless everybody

An Out of Focus, Miss the Boat Kind of Day

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Somehow, today is slipping through my fingers without much getting accomplished.

I went down several online rabbit holes, searching for information, and before I knew it, hours were gone.  I was expecting a UPS delivery today, and after coming in from  two minutes on the back step, found he had come and gone.  He will be back tomorrow

At least I was able to talk to my computer guru, and also to make an appointment with my pulmonologist (for next March).   Why does this computer tell me I am spelling pulmonologist incorrectly?

There is so very much to be done.

My daughter told me to take the day off.

I think I will follow her advice.

God bless everybody.

I Need This Right Now Like a Hole in the Head

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

A few weeks ago I got a letter from my prescription drug plan insuranc4e company (henceforth known as the (PDP), informing me that my premium was going up this year.  No problem, it was very low to begin with.

Now the other day, I got a letter from the PDP telling me that they were no longer going to cover my prescription.  I only take one drug, which I am told is rather unusual for someone  my age.  So, of course, this is the one they single out for abandonment.

This means a deep dive into the murky and confusing waters of insurance.

I can’t really do anything until October 15 when the insurance carriers issue their new formularies for the upcoming year.  That’s to find out who carries this drug.

Between October 15 and December 7th I have to find a plan with the right premium and that is also available in my state.

I really don’t need this right now.

We used to call this a hassle.

God bless everybody
