The young girl was Susan Gordon.

[Jane]

FOUR!

[Jane]

I do not remember what Susan's monkey looked like, only that it fit in her arms so it couldn't have been that big.

[Jane]

I guess the green juice cancels out the peanut brittle.

[Jane]

Now I am sorry we didn't go to See's yesterday and get peanut brittle.

[Jane]

What actually happened was a furious knocking on our door at 645 with a woman yelling " gas leak evacuate the building!"

Oh no!

[Jane]

Spoiler Alert






The hotel did not blow up

Nice.

[Jane]

Back -- from having the damage from the tree inspected by the insurance adjuster. She seemed to think I stand to have some good stuff covered, which would be wonderful. We shall see.

Vibes it is.

Susan's Monkey - that's the title of my next novel.

I started my day with a trek to North Augusta SC to visit Covenant Family Allergy Clinic to get my first shots of Dupixent.

I received two pens yesterday, so I took them with me.  The shots were administered in the back of each arm and stung, stung, stung like nobody's business!!!

I rewarded myself, following the 30-minute wait I had before leaving, by going to Taco Bell for a Nachos Supergrande and a Baja Blast.

Because the VA sent me only two pens...and both were required for the first treatment...I visited my reorder site to see if more pens had been mailed to me.  I could not ascertain that they had, so I called, and was told the pens I had were all I would get for a month.

I explained to them that I was required to have two initial shots, and then I must do injections every two weeks.  I was either talking to someone unaware of how Dupixent is administered or some foul-up has occurred as I was told I could reorder no earlier than February 4.  My next injection should be on February 9, so there is a disconnect.

Am trying to sort it out with the prescribing physician who must go through the VA's community care office and clarify things for them.

Sigh.

Meantime, my arms are both sore, but oh, well.

Groan.  I hope it all gets sorted out for you.  I'm sorry the shots burn like that and hope with time they get easier.

Good afternoon.

My exciting day was walking to the bank to pay my credit card bill. Christmas is all paid off now.

[Laura]

Plus my the plane ticket for my whirlwind trip to Burbank a couple of weeks ago.

[Jane]

I hope you were reimbursed for the trip.

Didn't every young boy have a pet monkey in the 1950s and 1960s?

I knew a young girl who did.

Was it well behaved?

[Freddie]

Healing vibes to Ron!

[Freddie]

Chas - so glad things went well!

[Jane]

Was it well behaved?

She had to give it away when it got older.  I think it didn't behave so well then.  I had no interest in monkeys as a child and didn't pay it much attention.

[Jane]

Thank you DR Jrand.  She is now on her way here for our last visit until May.

That must be a nice feeling.

The nice thing about today is that the sun is shining, it's 77 degrees, and it feels like heaven outside.

Now, let's get to the second SNAFU of the day:

American Express called and left a message that I must call them ASAP.

Why?

Well, first I had to do an identity check for them.  Once they knew I was me, I was told that someone had tried to use my card on January 18th to place a food order with Shopify (in Canada!!!).

On January 18, as it turns out, I had placed an online order with MiLa Chinese food company, for dumplings and noodles (I love their product).   Is it only a coincidence that MiLa is in Washington state and that the attempted food order was on the same date as the order I placed with them?  Happily, AMEX did not accept that particular order since it was for food delivery and I am in South Caroline whereas the food was going to be delivered to someone in Washington state!!!

All that said, my American Express card will now be replaced.  Sigh.  They are also implementing more stringent security measures, which means I will likely get refusals of payment until i verify, via text message, that it is me using the card. 

Sigh.  Not ideal for "online" orders, but it safeguards my credit line.

I wonder if I should take a nap and wait for the next surprise of the day?

[John G.]

Years and YEARS ago I saw a production of THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY in London......and it was wonderful.....I wish someone would do it around here so I could see it again....WELL not just ANYBODY.....but somebody who could do it justice!

THE original cast Cd is still in my personal top TEN.

I have now seen that show twice live. It’s great.

[John G.]

And a band I love to go see is called The New Buddy Holly Band because tgey all met doing a production of Buddy.

[John G.]

I wonder if I should take a nap and wait for the next surprise of the day?

Up from a nap.

[John G.]

I love it.
