This has been a bad week, and I thought my neighbor Ann was going to help me with it. I'm trying to meet deadlines with the NY State HRA about food stamps and Medicaid, but I'm having trouble connecting with Social Security - 45 minute wair=t yesterday before I hung up in disgust - and I think I completely crashe3d and burned on the US government website as well.
Title: Re: EXISTENTIAL QUESTIONS
Post by: elmore3003 on May 11, 2022, 04:21:23 AM
To be fair, Ann teaches all day and she's dealing with an 80+ year-old mother with dementia and father in poor shape as well. I'd call Joshie, but he hasn't returned my phone call from over a week ago. That has me worried; I don't kow what I've done to piss him off.

I hate my life.

She is seeing a few doctors for some difficulties and they seem to agree that her health is good although she is overweight.  So she is working with a psychologist who is helping her deal with some of the reasons "WHY"....which is very helpful and making her feel very positive about things.

Which makes me VERY happy.

From TCB:

Quote
Jane, forget about those eye drops.  I asked my eye doctor about them.  He said they generally work on someone in their forties, possibly their fifties.  He Sid the effects are minimal.  They shrink your pupils down to a pinhole, which is what sometimes gives the effect.

That makes more sense, starting the drops around the time reading glasses are needed.
Title: Re: EXISTENTIAL QUESTIONS
Post by: Jane on May 11, 2022, 12:14:09 PM

I think Amazon has a thief delivering for them.  This is the second time in a month a large package was supposedly deliverewd, only to be replaced at No Charge by a customer rep. I've sent Amazon a message saying the delivery person needs to be investigated.

Or, someone in your building is doing the stealing

Is there a (working) security camera in the lobby? :-\

I have just drunk a large amount of contrast

One of my co-workers had to drink barium on Monday. :P

Yuck.  I don't know if I could do that.  I would certainly have to take an anti-nausea pill.  I even needed it for the contrast.

I had the worst brownie I have ever had today. It was light. Light in texture, airy even, and light on chocolate flavor.

It was free. But the price was too high.

I hope your mother receives her book today.  I am surprised it has taken so long to be delivered.

The first mailing tracked to the truck and then disappeared. This one was supposed pot there today.

You are.  Most things here are delivered to our door and cannot be seen from the street.

I was thinking stolen/misplaced/mis-delivered from the truck.
