Thanks & Stuff

I am loving all your comments and attempts to cheer me up the last two days.
It's all much appreciated!
It helped to just not go online for a bit too.
Thanks for the break.

I emailed my doc about what was going on with him.  He isn't leaving the area or the practice, he's taking on a new project here in Scranton and Kingston(Wilkes-Barre).  Geisinger is starting a "Primary Care Senior Focus Program".  A one stop shop for seniors medical needs and wellness if you will.  You have to be 65 or older(I assume it's some sort of Geisinger Medicare option)to join it so I am SOL.
So this means I can't be a patient of his for another 4.5 years until I hit 65.....and "if" we are still living here.
Well CRAP is all I have to say about that!
In the meantime I'll give Doggie Howser a chance......after all, what other choice do I have? lol


And I am obviously not alone in my irritation with the Jeopardy champ either from some of the comments I read. lolz

Both Mary and Cheryl's sister can't stand him either!
Cheryl's sister says he reminds her of Gomer Pyle so I made this side-by-side image..........

Yep!  I can see it, can you?


 Go-ooolly! lololz


I did a little digging and Jeopardy is NOT James' first game show rodeo.
We don't have cable so I didn't know he was on the Game Show Network show "The Chase".  I had seen it a couple times while we were on trips at hotels and had cable tv service.
I liked the concept of "The Chase" and the "Beast" contestants have to beat to win money on that show is framed as a "bad guy" so you are rooting for the team of 3 contestants to beat him.
James H. won $175,000 on that show with his 2 teammates.

He was also on a short lived game show called "500 Questions" that ran May 2015 to June 2016 sporadically.
James H was on Season 1, Episode 3. facing champ Steve Bahnaman.  James did not unseat him.


Plus James H's wife was on "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?" in 2012 walked away with $22,800 from her appearance there.


No argument that James H. is a great trivia master but I like to see more even handed competition on Jeopardy myself.  No doubt James Holzhauer will be appearing in a Jeopardy Tournament of Champions at some point in the future.  It would be nice to see him matched against previous champions but man, it's a bloody bath most days on these regular Jeopardy episodes......

Ok, I've got stuff to do here, doggies to show love to, a kitchen to clean and food to prep for Easter.

Some Days It Doesn't Pay to Get Out of Bed

Yesterday was a Very Bad, No Good Day for me, just like in that book about Alexander my kids read when they were young.

It began with a phone call from my dr.'s office.  He won't be in for my June appointment.  And come to find out, he is leaving this medical group/system.

I really like my doctor.  He is the first one I've found that I have confidence in and get along with and actually makes me look forward to doing the right things for myself medically. 
He "gets me".

50+ years to find the right doctor for me is a very long time and I am so not looking forward to finding a new doc that fits with me.
The practice punted me over to another doctor, another Osteopathic doc at least.  The guy looks young enough to be my grandson.  I have clothes older than this guy!!

I just wanted to sit down and cry over this turn of events......

I am a complicated bundle of medical conditions and needs.  I still have no help for my Hidradenitis Suppurativa though I do finally have an appointment at an HS clinic in late July(that was the soonest I could get an appt. when I called in late Feb.).  Did I mention that this clinic is 2 hours away?  This won't be fun to get to when the weather turns bad again. sigh.

Add in all these new strange symptoms I've developed when I turned 60 and my outlook moving forward just gets me down.
It's true, when you turn 60, if something isn't already wrong with you, cheer up! because a whole new basket of crap will get dumped in your lap. *snort*

Then ex-College Boy decided to leave his job.  He can't handle the stress of all the selling he's forced to do there(with his anxiety condition)plus he's been there just shy of a year and they STILL haven't trained him in the job he has been told to do.  Is this normal now in the business world?  Hire someone and don't train them and expect those hired to handle a job they haven't been trained to do w/no supervision or support?  It started to get really bad once the company he works for got bought out by another company.  Frankly after hearing what all has gone on I am amazed he's lasted this long!

So now that the Daughter is graduating and leaving in one month(yay!)we now have ECB here indefinitely when we thought he'd be flying the coop and getting his own place in a couple of months and until he finds something else he's back on our health insurance.  At least he got a nice tax refund so he can financially tread water and not take the first shitty job he finds.

And to add insult to injury, my favorite bbq joint down in VA closed down last Saturday for good.
I know that's no biggie but still........just something else to make my outlook even worse.

And that current champ on Jeopardy is pissing me off too!  I just want someone to wipe that fake smile off his face and beat his ass!!! ;-)

Add in all the political crap and world news and I feel like the world is piling on me.

So excuse me I can't be Big 'Ol Mary Sunshine right now.
I may take a couple of days off from blogging to get my head back on straight.

Anybody else feeling low about things going on in their life too?  Let's commiserate. Let us all know what's buggy you!

Y'all play nice while I'm gone.
