A Health Scare and Covid B.S.
I needed to go to the urgent care on Tuesday for some heath concerns. After 6 hours, a transfer, chest X-ray, ct scan, ecg, blood, urine, iv fluids, and breathing treatment I am left with the diagnosis/prescription I said I needed (kidney infection/stone?) but I also get a bullshit wait time (up to 6 days) for results on a covid test I didn’t need. Unable to return to work, losing money and hours at my new job. Probably adding to “suspected case” numbers when I never suspected that at all. Beyond frustrating. You really can’t go for treatment these days, not if you need your job.
Yes, they were right, my breathing wasn’t great. I had quit smoking a week before after 30+ years. Sigh. It’s really hard for the medical profession to listen, seems even harder lately!
Update: Just in: I don’t have Covid lol. I know it’s for safety but wow... frustrating!

Lisa: Good News Bad News
Good news bad news:
Bad first: our beloved Gus Gus’s cataracts ruptured his cornea and he needs his eye surgically removed. We’re not willing to put him down, 2020 has been bad enough! He’s healthy in every other way and has quite a few good years ahead of him. Got him on pain meds for now. 😞
Good: Smiley worked out his schedule at his new school and has a lot of new classes to be excited about.

Wilford Brimley
He's probably best known in pop culture from the parodies of his "die-ah-bee-tus" commercials, in which he sought to promote diabetes awareness, but I remember him best from the movie The Natural, his Quaker Oats commercials, and the TV show Our House.
He was 85.

Melting Pot
Wow, just heard someone use the term “melting pot” in reference to American race relations goals. I’m over 40 and haven’t heard that since grade school. So much work to be done... - Lisa
