Thoughts on the Day

  • Maybe I was raised differently than most, but it infuriates me to listen to someone berate the staff at a doctor’s office for things that they don’t control, but which displease the berator.
    • Here’s a hint – People in the office should not be able to hear your voice outside of your exam room with the door closed.  They especially shouldn’t be able to understand every word that comes out of your mouth.
  • Poke and prod tally for the day – One hole in each arm to draw two tubes of blood. One hole in the right arm to get a shot of steroids.  Three chest X-ray’s (different aspects).
    • I feel well tenderized and ionized.
  • The doctor gave me some medical advice that had me running off to the Internet to research it.  If you’re looking to live a calm, unfrightened life, don’t go looking up side effects for your medications.
    • I’m either dyeing or just a ninny.  I’ll let you guess which.
  • Girlie Bear seems to be doing well at JROTC.  She was invited to join in the weekly staff meeting (S-1, S-3, S-4) that the Colonel holds with the student leaders.
  • She also had her introduction to college level homework tonight.  Writing up a study outline of about 40 pages of the textbook by the end of the week, which will be graded and then used as her basis for the next test is giving her something to chew on.
  • Irish Woman must really love me.  After dealing with my too-grumpy-for-words self all weekend, she made h0memade lasagna for dinner.
  • It looks like some people are coming into town for the Knob Creek machine gun shoot in April.  Anyone want to have a blog meet that weekend?
    • I suggest meeting for breakfast.  You don’t want to miss the afternoon shooting and gun show, and the night shoot is supposed to be very cool.
  • We got an evaluation from Boo’s preschool today.  He apparently has trouble with sharing, playing with others, and coloring in the lines.
    • Guess I’m going to have to claim this one.  That could have been written about me.
    • Heck, I’ve had personnel reviews that used similar phrases.
  • No matter how hard he tries, Moonshine just can’t make friends with Annya and Koshka.
    • He doesn’t seem discouraged, and looks at the swatting upside the head as just playful pats.

    Moonshine seems to have a kindred spirit in our cat, Pa’ani. It’s been almost nine years since he joined the clan, and Koa (who’s been plotting her finally-successful palace coup since she was about four and a half weeks old) still can’t stand him. When Po was alive and ruled the roost, and Pa’ani was still a kitten, he’d try to entice her to play with him. She would only put up with that for a short time, and then whomp him good on the head. He’d shake it off and go find someone else to play with…usually a stuffed animal. He exists outside the hierarchy here, and always has (much to Koa’s consternation).
