Four!

[John G.]

Stella has created a mess that will occupy much of my morning.  I am not pleased.

Poor baby girl.

[Druxy]

Another day without my Mac.

 

[Jane]

He's also still the shy one of the three.

Yes.

[Jane]

The other two are more like typical kittens and young cats to  me.  And those smooth surfaces they jump onto don't help, especially when they take a running leap.

The vacuuming half of Stella's mess is finished.

[elmore3003]

I think Thatch and I will lie down in front of the fan and watch the soaps.  Then I will tackle part of of la pagaille de la Stella.

[vixmom]

But the same guy couldn't process an enhanced license

Wow, lots of stuff going on here this morning.

Vixmom has moved into the DMV. Will she enjoy regular meals and showers there?

My guess, from todays visit, is that the majority of visitors shun showers

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

Glad to see that Vixmom has completed the dreaded DMV ordeal.

Were you able to get an enhance license--just from other clerk?

[Jeanne]

The last time I went to the DMV it was to pick up the rules booklet. The ones in English are kept behind the counter and you have to WAIT IN LINE just to get a damn booklet!!! The Chinese ones are for the taking in the racks. The line, of course, is horrendous. I waited in the handicapped line. Which was short. I don't like to do that as I look able-bodied, even though I'm not really. I expected to get lots of nasty stares, but I didn't--or I didn't notice.

California is usually pretty progressive about these things, but the DMV is one area where a LOT of improvement is needed. Some of the offices now have a kiosk for certain services. I don't know the details. Maybe it's for the showers and cot.

Last night I noticed a voicemail from my doctor's nurse, whose nickname is Tee. I tried to call her back, but was connected to a call center. The woman had no idea who my doctor was. After repeated holds she connected me to a Beverly Hills office, which was not correct, and was closed by then anyway.

This morning I tried a different number. Same thing. ALL calls to anyone at Cedars-Sinai are now routed through a call center. They claim they will triage your call. I understand triaging the patients, but triaging the calls?? OY!! Is there any way this could possibly be more efficient? I see it as putting one more wall between the patient and his/her doctor.

[Jeanne]

And I thought that Mercury retrograde was over!

[Jeanne]

And here it is!

Vixmom has to object to that picture because they aren't shirtless.

Well it certainly would improve the aesthetics

I look at that picture and say, "Nice watch!"

[Jeanne]

Have a good day, everyone.

TTFN.

I was! Once I receive the original ( in 7 -10 business days I was assured) I can use it for domestic airline travel and ground travel to Canada and Mexico

I was handed mine on the spot! And the whole process probably took all of twenty minutes, after waiting a very short time for one or two people ahead of me.

This was at a AAA office, which was absolute heaven in comparison to a DMV. Well, that would go without saying.

[ChasSmith]

And yet, I said it.

That is crazy that only English pamphlets are kept behind the counter.

Truly a bad system.  When I call my doctors that are with the Peace Health (hospital) system I have to listen to a message and press the corrects numbers.  While slightly annoying it is nothing like what you have to deal with.  Can you message your doctor's office using an online "my chart" or whatever system they use?

Amazing.  Through the DMV we had to wait for ours in the mail & had a temporary paper one until then.

Topic of the Day:  I'm listening to the 2007 London cast recording of Fiddler on the Roof.  It's available for free through Amazon Prime Music streaming. 

[George]

After that will probably be the Prime Music streaming of the Broadway cast recording of Bandstand.

I have to take my car in for the collision repairs in the morning.  They said my rental car will be waiting.  Now I see why.  Enterprise is right next door to the body shop.

That is nice and convenient.  I hope you like your rental.

Hope your scooter fits in it easily!!

Oh, my!  Sounds a little like Olympia.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep.
