Today is just draggin' along - 1.5 hours left.
So I finally was able to see a doctor today! Yay - well, actually, it was an NP - but that's pretty much all the same in my book. So anyway, I haven't received my health plan card yet and they were fine with that, they didn't even ask me for a co-payment or anything (which as I was leaving, I thought it odd). I wonder now if I'm going to get a huge bill in the mail now? But I was thinking (if I had known in advance) how easy it would be to put false information on the documents and had myself a free doctors visit.
This is the first time I've ever seen a doctor that wasn't at Kaiser. The whole process seems kind of weird to me. And I definitely like the doctor (or was it NP?) I had at Kaiser much better. This woman was just all poke poke, prod prod and your done, here's your prescription, see you next year. My Kaiser doctor actually made an effort to get to know me, laid down some doctorly advice "now be sure to take Folic Acid - even though you're not thinking about children, it's still a very good thing for women in
child-bearing years to take". And this new one, I kind of felt like it was get 'em, get 'em out, move onto the next one. (Which is what you'd typically feel at Kaiser). But I have my prescription, and really, that's all I wanted. But now I want to know - how am I supposed to get my prescription when I don't have my health plan card? I guess it's good that she did give me a sample. So that gives me like a month to get it all sorted out.
On my way back from my appointment, I stopped off at Wendys and had a Jr. Bacon Cheesburger and a frosty. It's a real good thing that I do not live near any fast food type places, cause it was very yummy, and if I had those things close by, I'm afraid I could make a very bad habit out of it.
And I want to give a personal shout-out to tea. I'm really enjoying my daily tea. It gives me that nice caffeine high/alertness type thing that I guess you'd expect out of coffee, but it tastes ok. It's not great or anything. But since I've been trying to at least be healthier in what I drink tea works out good, because I won't put any sugar in it. (Coffee is only tolerable with a lot of cream and some sugar!) So far my favorites tea wise has been Tazo's "Awake". An Orange Spice was also pretty good, as was the Passionfruit I just polished off.
I have a new housing potential. Hopefully it will work out for me to check out the place on Saturday. I saw a place last Thursday, and it was absolutely perfect, except for the room size. The room was actually smaller than what I have now - and as my room is currently too small, that just wouldn't have worked. But the location was good. Price was good. The house had a TON of storage (big big garage and nice bonus/sun/laundry room). Massive backyard (and I thought the backyard I have now is huge!) And the potential housemate just seemed like a really nice, cool guy. In fact, had he been single (I had no idea of his dating status), I would have tried to hook my friend Dre up with him!! I was really bummed when the room turned out to be too small. But maybe this new place will have good potential. The guy who's renting says he's out of town on business alot. That in itself almost sounds like reason enough to me!!
I'm trying to decide if I should make myself go to the grocery store. I know I've blogged before about how much I hate running any errands after work! It wouldn't be as bad if these places were actually on my way home. But nothing is on my way home. Work to home is a 6-8 minute straight shot. But I'm also in need of some kitty litter - but I'm trying to tell myself that I could hold out until the weekend.
And that's my day. How's yours?
