Enjoy Your Lists and Other Thoughts

I think I'm in a foul mood because all those lists of 10 bands you saw, but one you didn't, that are all over Facebook right now? Yeah, those. They are irritating the fuck out of me. No offense to anyone that is enjoying them. But really, as irritating as fuck. Which I realize makes no sense as a comment.

Eh.

I seem to be going through a new little adventure that leads me from blood work for one doctor, to an appointment with another, to scheduling things a month from now that you really need right now, to blood work for another doctor and so on. What have we learned thus far? That my liver enzymes do not support the idea that these abdominal issues are taking the same path that my sister Judi's did. Thank you very much. Because the idea of that FREAKED ME THE FUCK OUT and I almost had a panic attack sitting in a little chair in the Curtis Road Carle Clinic waiting area. We have set that aside for now however, so onward.

What else have we learned? Well, that I have high levels on inflammation in my body, which explains my exhaustion, and I'm B-12 deficient, which also explains exhaustion. Oh, and we learned that a request to schedule an ultrasound on a Thursday morning still isn't approved by Health Alliance come the following Wednesday afternoon. Oh, and we haven't really learned, but we have been reminded that my only episodes of road rage take place in hospital parking garages. I don't know why but GOD DAMN PEOPLE the parking places don't magically appear if you go three miles an hour.

Sigh.

But the tree peonies at Japan House are blooming. Not my best pictures this year but they will do. They will do.

Now go on and enjoy your lists.
