Getting mighty uncomfortable

 

Random picture of Rocky is all I have. Odd angle because he was so close to me on the bed and it makes him look rather ticked off or disgusted like, 'really mom... '. I got a memory on my FB feed that was from his first vet visit after I got him which was last month. So Rocky McFluffbutt is between 7 and 8 years old now.

Weather was actually nice the last few days, didn't have to turn on AC until around 3 but now... it's just after noon and it's already 85, projected to be 89 by 2pm. Luckily we were out and about during the cooler/cold time of dayand got home just as it was starting to warm up.  

Alarm was set for 4 am, we boogied out of the apartment just before 6, all keys and other accessories accounted for. It was dark and overcast, wonderful weather with the vague promise of heat later. The buses and trolley all had AC going because..that's what they do. I had wished I had brought a light jacket but made it through okay.

No crazies on transit this time, early enough everyone was basically quiet. We got to the last transfer station where we usually pop into Home Depot but I realized I had put the wrong time into our schedule. I needed to be at the doctor by 7:45 not 8. It was going to be another 9 minutes before we got a ride and Jon was doing the potty dance, he suggested that I take the ride, he'll go to HD and then just wander around there, call when I was done and we'd meet at the bus stop. Well not knowing the addresses in that location I thought it was where I was standing. The driver however didn't want to take the left that gps told her to and ended up across the transit station.  I don't know car models I only knew it was a Tesla sedan but no color. Called the doctor when I was on the way and they said it was all good since I was only ten minutes away. I hate taking lyft because that sort of thing happens and the address for the doctor confuses them too, despite directions saying take a left and showing they need to make another immediate left for the upper lot.

Sheesh. Will be messaging Amber tonight about money for the car.

One more session and still no word from the radiation doctor about an appointment. Have had my phone on loud all day today, wasn't expecting a call over the weekend of course. But man this is uncomfortable. PA said that they are considering using some of the loose skin on my side boob to expand the area for the final surgery because the two sides aren't going to be the same, but will make a judgement call on that after radiation. If it's better than what it was before  I'm good with that, they'll reduce the left size as well. That's going to be annoying recovery again having both sides cut into.

Oh, and they're resurfacing all the upstairs complex walkway decks this week. So access to the apartment will be limited a few hours in the middle of the day. I told 'Michael' that I had a doctor appointment on Thursday and needed to leave around 1. That's in the time window for when they'll be working on the surface. Will see what happens and we'll leave an hour earlier just in case.

I still need money to pay my phone in 5 days, a little extra would be nice. I'm using that money for the last lyft rides this week which will leave me about $20 and phone is $55. Kind of crucial I have a working phone right now. I am going to need a new phone soon as well, this one is slowing down even after cleaning out memory and storage, doesn't recognize the sim card so everything is saved on the phone. I clear out photos, trash and messages once a week now and barely helps.

So that's all for now folks... hope everyone else is staying on an even keel, happy belated birthday Bart!
