Doctor's appointment
Dec. 16th, 2025 10:16 pmGot up at 10:00 and had breakfast and coffee. Then before I did anything else I got out a light bulb and my ladder and changed the dead bulb in the living room light. That is always scary and dangerous, and I really shouldn't do it alone, but with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mashfanficchick in Ohio, and Oldest Brother gone, there was no option.
After that I showered and dressed, and played on my phone a few minutes, about 12:20. Then I left for my doctor's appointment.
I got the 44 to start, but when we got to Main and 39th there was a fare inspection, and there was supposed to be a change of drivers too, but the new driver was late, so after we waited quite awhile they told us there was another 44 behind us and we should get on that. So I did, and it was crowded. Luckily I got a seat.
Got to Union Turnpike, transferred to the 46 with no problem. But I'd lost so much time to the 44 that I was really afraid I'd be late, despite leaving quite early!
I got off the 46 and walked to my doctor's as fast as possible, and was just barely on time. Then I waited well over half an hour to be seen! Closer to an hour I think.
But the news was good, I am doing fine, and although he doesn't think I really need it, he put me on a glp 1 drug to help me lose weight. But he said if my insurance didn't cover it, don't worry, do without it, because I have been losing weight, though slowly. I go back in three months.
I texted the Kid to tell her about the glp 1 (her idea) and she was pleased.
I walked back towards the bus, resisting with difficulty the lure of Barnes and Noble, and went to Target for a bag of bows. Got that, and went back to wait for the bus.
And waited. And waited. The crowd grew bigger, and one bus never showed at all. Finally one showed, jam packed of course, and I couldn't get a seat.
Eventually, just before my stop, I got one, and it's a good thing because it took us forever to get from the stop before mine, to mine. It turned out that there was a terrible traffic tie up because Con Ed was doing emergency street work and the Con Ed flag man was directing traffic.
Finally I got off the bus and went to wait for the 20 or 44. The 20 got there first, and although it was full, I did get a seat and made it back to my stop, and got off and walked home.
When I got home, the door has NOT been fixed. I am really annoyed.
In my mail I found that the card I sent to my ex-sister-in-law had been returned addressee unknown, which I don't understand. I got it off anywho and it was absolutely her. Maybe she moved and this is new residents, I don't know. Well, I tried. No new Christmas cards for me.
I got here eventually at 6:30, just had time to get a glass of eggnog and set up the computer before the FWiB Teamed. We talked til it was time for my meeting.
The meeting was very good, M and S were both there.
Then I had dinner, and went to the bedroom to play solitaire until pet feeding time.
I had been hoping to be home by 5:00 and get some wrapping done, but no such luck. Maybe I can fit some in tomorrow.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Got the light bulb safely changed.
3. Good report from the doctor.
4. Glp 1.
5. My meetings and the people there.
6. The Kid.
