Calorie control
Early Sunday morning, no milk and no bread in the house for breakfast, so I took a walk out to the IGA. I grabbed my stuff and went to the checkout register. A amply-proportioned woman just was already there with maybe her lunch for the day, a Lean Cuisine beef lasagne… and three large chocolate bars… and a big bag of cream puffs… and a 600ml iced coffee.
So how’s that weight loss program going?
My spidey senses are tingling…
I’ve been getting a lot of spider webs in my rear courtyard at home. They keep appearing in every little nook and cranny, and under the chairs and table. It would only take a week after clearing them and they would keep re-appearing.

Note to self: remember to bring something to do next time I have to visit a public hospital.
Just spent the whole morning sitting down, waiting, getting up, sitting down, waiting…
I had to go to the Eye and Ear again for a follow-up visit to check my iritis flare-up. The emergency department was a bit busier so it took nearly three hours this morning compared to just over one hour on Thursday evening. I should have asked them to refer me to the private eye clinic which I attended two years ago since they already have my history. Problem is now they have to ask me the same questions and run the same tests which I have already done before. HLA-B27? I already tested positive for that 5 years ago. QuantiFERON? No, I don’t have TB. Let’s get some blood and test for that again. Chest x-rays? No, I don’t have any respiratory conditions. Let’s get some X-rays of your chest anyway, and your sacroiliac joints too while we’re at it.
So after spending the morning sitting down in seven different chairs while three nurses and two doctors administered drugs, flashed lights in my eyes and stuck needles in my arm, I went and sat down in another chair so that one old barber could cut my hair.
