I played with Deja a bit when we were up in the middle of the night. I have to keep her entertained or she zooms around like a crazy cat. I also have to make sure she's not knocking things down or otherwise making noise, at least until my son wakes up around 2:30. Playing with her using the cat teaser is best because it's quiet and she usually takes a rest after about 10 minutes. At 10 a.m., I took the garbage to the dumpster, dropped our HOA check in the community "mailbox" then walked over to the supermarket. I only spent $20 for the 9 items I bought. I will get 5% cash back on the order via Discover.

After I put the food away, I walked to the UPS store to return the fancy claw clipper I'd gotten from Amazon. After eating lunch, I continued watching Criminal Minds. I am back into the series big time now. I napped a couple of times...this afternoon, then this evening. My son was going to watch part of CM with me when he got in and was having his lunch but I fell asleep. When I woke up, the episode had ended. I'm going to have to go back to the part I missed using my tablet (which will be easier). It's 11:30 p.m. and I'm going to balance my check books so I can put them away, then I'll be back to see what else is going on here on SF.

No way!!!! What if there was a fire?!!!! You can't go down those stairs!!! I'm worried about you! Isn't there someone who you can report this to?

If there is a fire you are not supposed to use the elevator anyway. There is a sign on it to use stairs in case of fire.

It has been reported to everyone possible. They are working on it. Not sure yet if they are going to repair it or replace it. Both will take time unfortunately.
 
Today……being Friday……just the usual.
But…..
I have an appointment with a mental health councillor.
Why…..
In the back of my mind…..I knew this would happen.

Started with a new doctor back in November, mine has retired, only the one appointment so far.
at which…..
She seemed quite nice, very hard to understand with her accent.
Every doctor has different opinions on medications…..hers apparently are different from my doctor, who has retired.

The appointment was to get repeats on my meds, set up appointment for the usual physical, bloodwork, 3 day poop samples, heart test,etc, and possibly increase one of them in the morning, having issues in mornings, my retired doctor and I discussed this, but hadn’t yet made a change……then I learned he retired.

She went along with the change to try…..but…..she changed her mind, a week later…..clinic contacted me for a phone appointment with her.
She took me off of the one kind I take in the morning, and prescribed a different one…..sadly to say…..I didn’t understand a lot of what she said…..with her accent and on the phone.

She asked me to see a mental health councillor since it’s been a while.
Great…..get to rehash all the crap.

I have had a hour phone appointment with one councillor.
A week later a hour phone appointment with another councillor.
Today, a physical appointment with one here in town.

I was on my last fill on one of my antidepressants when I saw her in November…..she didn’t fill a repeat…..kept checking the drug store for it…..she had not repeated it…..I checked last Saturday again…..my retired doctor had filled a 6 month repeat for these.

Had an appointment with her on January 11…..but she went on some kind of leave…..my appointment got changed to February 3.
My new med is out the 3rd week in January…..will she call in a repeat to the drug store for this one……nothing like being out on a limb.

Sadly…..I’ve heard some negative comments about her……and also, apparently she won’t be here long.

This has turned into a stressful waiting game.

Done for now….see what happens with my appointment this afternoon with the councillor.
 
Just a bit of rain today, so I am leaving for another town for some shopping, then a few groceries, then lunch out with a friend in a restaurant that decorates the entire place for every holiday. I may post a pic or two if I can find a free space to stand! All in all, I'm looking forward to a great visit and wonderful food!
 
It's coming up to 4pm, and the sun is getting low in the sky. been a dry day but cold... Kept the heating off until a short time ago..

Fell against my solid wooden kitchen door when I tripped and fell off the little plastic folding step stool..... hurt my back a lot , but what's worse is the force took the door off the frame at the bottom, and off the hinge.. so now I have a door that's not fully connected to the frame, just hanging by splintered wood and the screws not affixed to anything.:(

It means I'm going to have to pay to have a new door and have it fitted.. not something I've ever had to do in the past because the O/H always hung the doors here..

taken some painkillers, and applied a heat-pad to ease the pain, and now I'm about to go and have a hot shower..

On a brighter side, the new bathroom chrome light pull I ordered arrived, along with a new cordless mouse.. :)

@ Holly,, Sorry to read you fell off the plastic stool.
Did it collapse?

Son found soaking deep tub with warm water helped his back.
Can you try that or is it too hard for you to get in/out of tub?

thanks Sliverfox.. yes it's more difficult for me to get in and out of the bath due to my aching back.. which is why I preferred the hot shower..

yes the plastic folding stool collapsed in half... :eek: happened in a split second so I had no chance to protect myself. The kitchen door was half open, I fell backwards and smashed my spine into the Long front door jamb where the lock juts out.. and landed on the ceramic floor... very lucky that it just missed my head.. but my back is black and blue!

I've already sent for a proper folding stepstool (ladder) to replace that Plastic thing.. never again will I have one of those

Well, you are right....I forgot about not using the elevator when there is a fire. I guess I'm just concerned for you, I know that those stairs would be such a challenge! (Hugs!)

I have been keeping myself busy all week. Some of the things I've been doing is getting rid of old photos, putting away some of my Christmas decorations, I'm making a carry bag for my new Kindle, burned the bulb field (well, Dio did the actual work for that), continued cutting up that %&#&@&&% privit, and so much more...I just can't think of it all right now.

Well, time for me to get busy, again! So, hello to all, and hugs to everyone!
