Friday Five
When was the last time you…
1. …went to the doctor?
A month ago I went to my primary care doc, who is a young female OB/GYN I have come to fear and loathe because she refuses to refer me for tests and/or consults I feel I need on various occasions. I figure if I’m willing to pay for a test I should get to take it. So I fired her and I’ll start with a new primary care doc next week for my annual physical. You have to take charge with these folks. I know. I work for doctors.
2. …went to the dentist?
Some time last month for a quarterly cleaning and maintenance. I’ve had the worst problems with my teeth thanks to my dissolute youth but I’m on top of it now.
3. …filled your gas tank?
I accidentally filled my gas tank last month when the girl at the station misunderstood how much money I said I would pay. Then she got mad at me when I discovered the mistake. Otherwise, I never fill my tank. I have a fear of it ever since my son set fire to our old station wagon when he was little and the firemen said something about “good thing it wasn’t full” or it could have been “good thing it was full”. Anyway….
4. …got enough sleep?
All you young people will find out that for some reason you sleep less when you get older. It’s really something to grieve if you’re the grieving type. I can remember that feeling of snuggling back down in the soft pillows and going back to sleep. No more – too bad so sad.
5. …backed up your computer?
You’ve got to be kidding.
Deep Thought: I think the biggest mistake I ever made in my life was not eating all of that guy’s pie instead of just half of it, because he was in the restroom for at least another two or three minutes.
Today I am grateful for: Free office water cooler water

The gas tank stuff is scary!!
I love the advice on taking charge of your care. I had to do that with my latest bout of discovery and it was hard going from one to another to another (even harder since we don’t have insurance). We finally settled on one that is suitable. Infinite Blessings
I fired my doc, and didn’t get a new one. Doc exlog suggest, you slam a few doors.
I love cooler water too!! So crisp!
back up the computer? haha….
I love the deep thought of the day… *lol*
Actually the lessening of sleep is one thing I’m looking forward to in my old age. I’m a long sleeper– needing a minimum of 10 hours to feel decent. So if I need less, I’ll be able to get more stuff done.
I keep trying to download stuff off my computer, but for everything I take off, 10 more things are added, so it’s a losing battle.
