Can't we have a normal talk today?

[sovay]

I had six doctor's appointments this past week. Three of them were on the same day. Any way you slice these numbers, they're stupid.

On the other hand, last night I slept ten hours, officially exceeding the cumulative total of the rest of said week, which is also stupid, but it makes a nice change.

I have earnestly devoted my afternoon to lying around with books and old-time radio and going nowhere.

Good on you for surviving that many appointments.

But then I came home and wrote a movie review! (The other accomplishment of the week.)

Six is a lot! Ten is also a lot, more positively! Glad of the latter.

Thank you! I just need to make it consistent.

Wow. So many f-ing doctors. I'm so sorry. (Also, empathy.)

But books and old time radio sound like decent medicine.

Thank you. I know that you know whereof you empathize.

But books and old time radio sound like decent medicine.

Eventually a cat added himself, which was even better.

Ugh! So many doctor's appointments - I hope they result in some good stuff for you, at least.

(also yay sleep!)

Thank you. One of them did provide useful concrete information and I got some pointers at least from a couple of the others.

(also yay sleep!)

(Thanks!)

It was an extremely enjoyable passage of time!

Woof, that IS many Doctor's Appointments. I hope at least some of them actually turn out to be useful. Meantime, yay sleep!

Thank you! One was very useful, I got pointers from another couple, another couple . . . happened.

That doctor-to-day ratio is indeed stupid. I am glad you are addressing (correction: did address, since this is now yesterday) the stupidity with a good corrective of books, radio, and rootedness.

Thank you! There was also cat.

the goodness of cat is immeasurable!

Weary fistbump of solidarity re the doctors' appointments. I hope you're getting somewhere with them. Congrats on the ten hours' sleep, and a muffled oath regarding the ten hours' total for the rest of the week. I hope you can get the cumulative hours up. Insomnia is no bloody joke.

Thank you. One was directly useful and most of the rest were at least pointers toward something else to do.

No. I have dealt with it for most of my adult life, but this has been an exceptionally bad stretch and it may be starting to have consequences I don't want. Thanks.
