Seems like forever since I wrote in my journal. And it has. First- let me say I am sick of being sick. I mean it- this bug would not have hit me so hard if I hadn’t been a shut-in for the last 4 years. But it is what it is. I am not getting into the debate of “mask, 6 ft.” vs not, don’t start.
I went out today, doing more than I have in a few weeks. First stop was the drug store, my usually hang out. Sucks when the health insurance is such an ass about the ‘day’ they will pay for the refill. Not, let me come by the next day, please….
Then to McDonald’s for food as no way was I going to cook. Long line. But that was expected with the whole festival that is going on in town, turning blocks and main street into a stupid waste of time and money. Ok ok… that is my opinion only, fair enough.
So I spent the money, thinking its 1/3 of the grocery bill for the week- and get the “pull forward, we will bring it out to you.” Ok- fine. I do, sucking down the soda as I waited. I watched as a woman came out, carrying donuts. And other bags. I knew it was my order but she kept walking toward the car in the front of the ‘pull up’ so the time will show we serviced you quickly- line.
She stood, talking to the person in the car, then she walked to the next, nope. Helllo! Here I am, right… “Did you order…” “Yes, that is me.” So she is handing me in the bags and I took the donuts as I get to hear how busy they are inside, mad house busy. And how the festival is keeping them so busy. Mind you I am done with putting the three bags in the car, ready to leave….
And how she couldn’t even keep the orders straight. How the first car she went to told her they were ready to ask for a refund, as they been there 20 minutes, very upset. I don’t know about that but they was there when I pulled up, and I was sitting for over ten.
I see she still has a small bag in her hand, hold out my hand. “Oh, that isn’t yours.” So she stood, talking about how they did 80’s theme day, why she was dressed the way she was, and had to borrow the big sunglasses she wore from her grandchild as she never gotten into sunglasses that big… as she held up taking someone else their food.
Huh… and she wonders why people get upset… imagine that. “Well I need to go, before it get cold.” She steps back, and off I went, watching her in the rear view trying to find the next person the food belongs to. If I had been that first car, I would of lied, say “Yes, that is me” and took my chances on the food. Fuck them trying to get that straighten out.
Then home- ate, threw up. Yeah me. Hours fussing with my brother to get his shower, treatments done before the 2 pm meeting we had. Of course that didn’t work out. Sis told me I needed to go home once the meeting was over as I was losing my last nerve with him.
Also had a wonderful chat “typed in a tone” with Amazon. I order something that was have been delivered on Tuesday. Lost. I can ask for a refund, per Amazon. So I hit the button, another button, then another,,,, fuck that- chat now. 27 minutes later I had enough of the ‘Can you hold for 2 minutes while I get with my lead on this?” Why? Its you offering to get me the refund, ass. Just hit the buttons. “Sure.” “How would you like this refund as we wait?” As we wait--- you took 4 minutes to ask me that, and it was too been 2 minutes hold. But I tell ya. Many minutes later you ask me the same questions. That is enough. I call you out on the bull shot- McDonalds, I am not pulling up. DEAL with your shipping issue.
So I call you out- You asked me that already- I gave you the answer. How much longer? It’s been 23 minutes to do the refund you, Amazon, was offering me to start with. Lord and behold- the refund was approved. No shit Sherlock. What can I say- in the mood it seem. Steroids are not letting me sleep more than a few hours at a time, and so not happy. When Mommy doesn’t get her 8 hours of sleep, ain’t no one day going to be good.
So shower finally done. Warned him if he drag out his breathing treatment- he will still be on the machine when the Lady showed up. He did. Thinking I would let him skip his 2nd part of his treatment. Well—that shit don’t float in my pool. So he got to spend about 15 minutes of the meeting with his mask, treatment running. Play around, bites you in the ass.
The meeting- went as expected. Ray played up the ‘sick’ card. Mind you I have stayed away from him, mask on when around. Even during his shower, I wore a mask. The wheezing in my lungs? Yeah- that would be handled by a 70 year old on oxygen. But he never sneezed, coughed all this time he has been ‘sick’. Nor have a temperature. It’s a case of “My big toe is sore” all of a sudden his toe is sore, if you know what I mean. But he was going to learn the lesson again about playing around.
But he complained he did not go fishing, and I just reminded him he has been sick. Ohhhh the stinky eye I got. *evil grin* The lady talked of the classic car show three towns over this weekend… again… sick… if looks could kill. But the lady supported me, seeing his look. “You don’t need to be out, having a cold, on oxygen.” Note she never got the stink eyes, just the pouting.
So- think that is it. Talking to friend on the phone on our nightly call, and told her I need to get off the phone to spend time with the dog. She was so excited I got a pet. I hated to tell her that it wasn’t a real dog. When they gave me the nebulizer was for children. It’s in the shape of a dog. A cute little brown dog with a button nose, big eyes. I named him David.
That is my day. Rest of the days of late has been doing what needed done, resting, trying to sleep with steroids in me (never happens) and taking meds, doing treatments.
On a personal note- I SOOOOO want to decorate for Fall. Unfair looking forward to cool weather, getting the twelve or so totes out of Fall/ Halloween stuff... to only get sick. SUCKS!! :(
Now a couch is calling me, as well as a movie.
