Second set of guests just left. They had their dog with them which is ok until the poor dear gets lonely and starts barking. It's too hot to leave dogs in the car. And some places you can't take dogs. So for a few hours I had the dog upstairs with me. Not sure if I want to be doing this all the time. We will see ( Read more... )

Idiot patients
Not home

Tried to live like other folks yesterday. Spent all night and today in horrible pain. Managed to do some laundry and housework this pm.

Spring is coming, snow and ice are gone.

Frustrated

Work Blackberry is dead, Again! To get a replacement battery I have to drive 100 km round trip. Dear supervisor, that useless, badly designed and ineffective computer charting won't be done til you can give me some reliable technology. Powers that be - you might want to check out a little company called Apple. They make technology that is reliable ( Read more... )

My dear doctor hurt himself, so my appt last week was cancelled. Then this am his office called to cancel yet again, for two weeks. In desperation I asked to see one of his colleagues. Once I managed to get her to listen, it went well. Tests ordered, once results back, then referrals to be made ( Read more... )
