I went to my first mammography today -- or the first that I've been summoned to. Or so I thought. The nurse said, "You've been here once before?" And I said, yes, but years ago (when I suspected a lump). And she said, no, you were here last year, in March. What? I denied it. She said I had been ID'd by two separate people, so I had to have been. I ( Read more... )

This morning I went to a chiropractist (note for Americans: Swedish chiropractists crack your bones in place and nothing else, no mumbo-jumbo stuff), and afterwards there was a noticeable difference, I could move a bit more freely. I'm going back next week and the next one again for follow-up treatments, but it definitely seems like it was a thing ( Read more... )

Swedish Radio is running morning radio theatre during the summer. Last week they ran a dramatisation of Anne Frank's Diary. Which meant I was crying over my breakfast all week ( Read more... )

Today Rosa has spent all day at the vet's. I took her in this morning and picked her up again this evening. My doggie neighbours had bought an old stroller (a sturdy one with good wheels) at a flea market a couple of weeks ago, and it turned out that Rosa's carrier fit perfectly in it, so I borrowed it and walked her to and from the train stations ( Read more... )

The vet called me this afternoon, and said that judging by the sample I gave them on Friday, Rosa seems completely recovered from her UTI. There was no sign of bacteria or nasty crystals or anything in it. So that's the last of the antibiotics! Now there is the matter of her teeth left to deal with. I'll have to check my calendar and find a good ( Read more... )

Today I've composed the application for renewal of my housing supplementary allowance, and been to the local library branch to copy all the required documents to go with it. I've also switched power companies. I realised that I now have the most expensive deal, and while I still get really confused and anxious trying to get my head around all the ( Read more... )

I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Arrgh! I'm sure it's ever so much better and safer, but I hate it when they change everything over and I can't find the buttons and functions and my favourite addons and themes don't work anymore and and and. Anyway, I spent most of the morning searching for nice personas (something I've not bothered with before), and ( Read more... )

The vet called back and said that ( cat health stuff )
