Teleworking this am. Doctors appointment for follow up after spinal injection this morning and physical therapy this afternoon.

Last day of week for me.

I have a friend heading back from Wyoming now with a beautiful 3 yo girl they’ve got custody of. His wife’s niece is a crack whore collecting full benefits on her children. The little girl was with wifes 70 yo parents. Now my buddy has her.

I was checking on him yesterday and he sent me a pic of her just as happy riding in the backseat.

I just about cried thinking about what that beautiful little girl has seen already and why/how does someone “throw away” a child. As usual seconds later my rage took over and all the bad thoughts and inclinations flooded my brain. I was able to push those back to the dark area knowing that the beautiful creature will be in good hands now with my buddy and his wife.

He’s a retired gunny… and a great dude.

 

[John]

That little girl is blessed.

 

[Poppy]

For sure. The mom was living out of a car with the girl… the story gets real ugly from there.

 

[John]

Babygurl is also blessed,coincidence you both are Marines,negative.

Breakfast was 2 eggs/ some whites and potatoes. Pulled chicken on a wrap for lunch. Heading to the gym to attempt some shoulders. Protein shake after. Dinner will probably be chipotle. Meal prepping today. Last day of my vacation and I’m back to work tomorrow through the weekend.

I’m grateful today to know that there are still some decent people out there like @Poppy friends

Well I kinda showed my butt this morning at the docs office.

It’s a big place… probably a dozen or more doctors along with pa’s and our local surgical center.

I arrived 20 minutes early in case of paperwork etc, yall know the drill.

Sat there for 50 minutes past my appointment… asked the nice young lady at the desk what the problem is. She informed me I was next. 11 minutes later I was called back. It was a new nurse I didn’t recognize.

Her: good morning

Me good morning I hope you’re well today

Her I am

5-6 more steps

Me that’s ok about the wait… it’s been an hour and I know you’re going to apologize.

Her im sorry for the wait

Me thank yall for not being ambulance drivers or first responders

Me how much longer until I see the doc…10 minutes or 30 minutes?

Her there’s 3 patients ahead of you

Me ok… here’s my receipt… I’ve paid my copay…keep it… .you’ve seen me…i was here…i turned around and walked out.

I then cancelled my physical therapy appointment (with same outfit) for this afternoon. Picked up a few things at store got baby girl from camp and came and took a great nap.

I hate that. It makes me so mad. Like what if I ran my job this way? Just 1.5-2 hours overdue on your heart meds? I have just as many “uncertainties” pop up in my job, probably more, and yet when 7 am rolls around my shit is squared away.

 

[Poppy]

I have absolutely no problem with the doctors abilities.

My problem is if I canceled without 24 hours warning I would get charged orrrrr if I made him wait an hour or more with me staring at him… he would be mad. My time is valuable also.

 

[Poppy]

I’ll take that as a compliment. Thank you.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Damn straight I get everywhere early as I have anxiety and I understand that a patient here there may take a bit longer but to be waiting that long for scheduled apt when I have to use vacation time or go in with no sleep can get me. But cranky

 

[Poppy]

Yeah I worked longer hours the last two weeks so I could get out early today for appointments

 

[John]

I think you handled it pretty well,better then i would have thats for sure.

 

[John]

I was feeling feisty just reading it…
