Week in Review: Week 237

MONDAY

Worked from home. So did Janey.

TUESDAY

Worked at work. Good news, we’re allowed out of the building at lunch, yahoo!

Went to the doctor after work just for blood work, he wanted to check my Vitamin D levels, blah blah blah, and I needed a prescription for the MRI my chiropractor wants me to get and I wanted to tell him to RENEW my Welbutrin prescription, not just call in a one-month prescription. Ugh.

She (Front Desk) tells me I have to come back Thursday to talk to the PA re the MRI scrip (why? what? why?) and “that drug is always a month-at-a-time prescription.” Uhm, I’ve been taking it for a year-and-a-half and it’s always been a 6-month prescription. Well, she’ll just have to talk to the doctor about that. Sigh.

If he takes me off the Welbutrin, I’ll sue. I’LL SUE, I TELL YOU! I won’t. But it’s fun to say. Sometimes I think it would be fun to be that person.

Anyway…time to start looking for a new doctor. I’ve had him for YEARS. And the thing is, I always used to see his PA. I NEVER saw him. Til last year. Now it’s always him. And we’re not good together. And it’s not that I don’t like any doctors. I like my oncologist and my urologist and my foot dr (even when he sticks injections in my heels)and y’all know how I feel about my chiropractor. And you know why I like all them?? Cuz they FIX things. When I go to them with an issue, they FIX IT. When I go to main doctor guy, he looks for issues that aren’t even there…and dismisses MY issues, attributing everything to my weight. He doesn’t FIX things. I go to the dr when I’m broken and need fixing.

WEDNESDAY

Don’t forget to…

THURSDAY

Went BACK to the doctor (see Tuesday) and met with the new PA and LOVED HER. I think I’m just going to ask to see her in the future instead of the doctor. What a relief that would be! Anyway, she’ll submit to the insurance company for me to get the MRI the chiropractor suggested I get, what a long involved process! She’s also going to check to see why I can’t get a 6-month subscription to Welbutrin. Cuz seriously.

FRIDAY

Out to dinner with a friend after work. It was chilly!!! I’m not used to feeling chilly til close to Halloween! This does not bode well for weeknight dining out. I’m not going indoors with a bunch of people talking and eating without masks on. And at some point, it will just be Too Cold to eat outside. Even for me.

SATURDAY

Did a “first time” thing today – I’ll share it in next week’s Week in Review (gosh, don’t you hate when people do that??). It was actually fun, in spite of all the nervousness I had about it beforehand.

SUNDAY

Sunday Funday! Yay! Went into Brooklyn with a friend for brunch and it was FAN. TASTIC. And I’m never happy with anything!

 It was so good and nice and comfortable, it was a beautiful day, the food was fantastic. I had french toast that was practically bigger than my head!

Came home and did blog work. I kept thinking I’d get an hour on the sofa to read but I’m just finishing this post up at 8pm so…no reading today.

And that wraps up another week…OH, I actually did read AND watch something on Netflix this week…

WHAT I’M READING

The One & Only by Emily Giffin. I’ve read most of Emily Giffin’s books. They’re mostly light, about relationships, easy reading…good when you want something not dark or deep but that’s a good page-turner with an “oh my! whatever is going to happen?!” ending. This gets a 3.95/5. I just can’t give it a 4.

WHAT I’M WATCHING

The Social Dilemma. Documentary. Spoiler alert: the evil internet is controlling your mind to make a buck. Unlike every other company out there using psychology-based marketing techniques. Yawn. Not impressed. Or scared. If they’d been a little less THE WORLD IS ENDING they might have sold me. But they were so far into the doom and gloom schtick that I just can’t really take it seriously.

Alrighty…that’s all for now. Hope everyone’s doing alright out there in covid-land. Is it gone yet? Is it gonna be gone?
