Saw Trolls today..

Me too. And I didn't have to leave my home, my PC, nor even this board.

That said, I suspect  that your trolls were a tad more entertaining.

Yeah, they were kind of cute.  My favorite character wasn't one of the trolls, but Bridgit, the scullery maid.


The Good Thing today?  A BF who brought me paper towels, Sprite, Lysol and BRAT food.  After I had made a run to the grocery for other illness necessities and didn't dare leave The PR alone.  (Didn't forget those items, just didn't need them before the grocery run)

Music...specifically, a version of "Rhapsody in Blue" on satellite radio.  Played by Herbie Hancock and Lon-Lon, a chinese classical pianist.   It had the basic stuff that makes me happy, but, a few variations that had me going, "WOW".    8)

Thanksgiving dinner, which we had two days late so that I could be home from work and help with the cooking. Delicious gluten-free dinner rolls made from scratch, hot out of the oven.

Even though I didn't have everything the recipe called for, they still came out great. My first try using modified tapioca starch. I might make something else next week if I have time.

Holidays happen when people are around, not when the calendar says so.  Glad ya'll had good food and a good time.

Took The PR to her doctor, who was our doctor, and will be my doctor again after I switch insurance companies.  We've been with him for almost 20 years.

He walked in and said "Hug time", asked me about PA's death (he'd phoned me when he found out PA had died since he was listed as his doctor of record at that hospital), hugged The PR.

Best part:  he doesn't take Medicaid (for people with no insurance or as back-up to Medicare), but he'll see The PR for whatever Medicare will pay.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that man, Dr. Kiran G. Zaveri.

Having a good GP makes a lot of difference. Glad you have a great one. :)

Today I passed my first Cisco A+ Exam. I have the second (and last) one next week.

Nice one ren:)

And I may not have met your/PR's doctor, QV, but  I like him already. my main GP is something like that, although we of course have the NHS here. But unlike many others I've known, he is actually a kindly man, with a good manner as well as simply being employed to stitch up broken bits of people. A lot of them seem to concern themselves only with the welfare of the body itself, and don't particularly care for the suffering or lack thereof, of what lives in it, too many will leave the inhabitant of said body to its misery when they can easily do something to alleviate it, this guy won't. Was the only one who actually went and made sure I had some adequate pain relief after my hurting my eye. One of them outright accused me of either faking/lying in order to get something to abuse (when mind you, I'd had the eye examined in detail by specialists and the damage confirmed with their own two working eyes, or doing the damage myself (I.e deliberately) for the same reason. Stupid fucking bitch, incompetent cow too, once scripted me co-amoxiclav seconds to a minute or two after asking if I had any allergies and being told that I was allergic to penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics. And another one I managed to, after a long and persistent effort, drag a few oxy 10s out of him, but bitched at me for coming back after my regular GP told me instead of using oral analgesia to deal with the eye using topical local anaesthetic drops, which I knew to  be precisely the wrong way to go about it (overuse can damage the eye), and then after seeing the eye people again to confirm that from their own mouths, coming back the day after my regular GP, not having the correct information to go on to base his decision on not to then provide further oral opioid analgesia coverage, bitched me out for coming when that regular doc said no, but that decision being made based upon faulty, if well-meaning information. As soon as that regular GP, the decent guy, KNEW that, he changed his mind straight away.

If a decision is made meaning well but based upon faulty information, and is thus the wrong decision, then it should be re-evaluated should it not?
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.
