It's hot out there folks.

Yes it is.  Not in the extreme, but heat fatigue from a long hot summer just adds to it.  It isn't severe, mind you.  I am dealing with it just fine.  I simply noticed.  And, with my screwy hours, how I feel about things is just plain weird.

I made it on time, just a little more than an half hour early.  I would have been a bit earlier yet but for highway work.  You know, it's one thing to take a four lane down to a two lane, but why take a four lane down to a zero lane?  both sides were driving on the shoulder for about 10 miles.  It's not like they don't work that road either.  Every summer they close down two lanes at a time at some point.  Nope, this time they needed them all.  On the way home I decided to take the long but faster way.  Construction there as well, but they did give us a lane.  Thanks.  And a third of the overpasses were being worked.  My guess is it's more stimulus money being doled out to make it look like money is flowing.  They are getting desperate.  Time is getting short folks.

My doctor says it is about time for them to send another insulin so he will go ahead with that.  I think he suggested, from now on, I will be getting two bottles at a time.  They just wanted to make sure this would work.  It seems to be working, so...  I told him I wouldn't be here for the diabetes clinic, this one I will make because it won't be preaching about making food that doesn't impact me.  I don't, and can't make my own food regularly and I am not about to get picky about what comes in.  I appreciate that food in ways you can't understand.  Beggars, in my book, can't be choosers.  No, this will be to teach me how to dose the insulin so as to adjust for food intake.  He asked about private insurance, because the pens are better.  If I did it on my own it would be $130 a month.  No such luck though.  They are cheaper than the bottle, with syringes, and all, but... the V.A. takes... time to catch up to the markets.  Ah well, it'll happen.

I had to go to the front desk to deal with the change in schedule for the diabetic thing.  It was there I learned my doc is leaving, going back East.  *sigh*  So, now, I get to learn a new doctor.  Bleh.

On the way home I stopped at for lunch.  Beef ribs, I thought.  Never having even seen that as a menu item I had no idea how much would arrive.  Being quite hungry, I simply ordered a full rack.  Needless to say a bit more than half of it is in my refrigerator!  You know, if I was 15-25 again it wouldn't have been a problem.  I might have ordered a second.  No more, those days are gone.  Still, it was some darned good eats.  I love my smoked food restaurants.  Mostly beef, but you never know.

I didn't stop anywhere with traffic and such.  Bummed about the change in docs to.  Ah well.  I have to be in Logan tomorrow for an eye appointment.  I will be looking for dry ice, some meats to try on the grill, and maybe a haircut of the BMan variety.  Freaky but it's the way of it.  I've been working up to a mohawk for some time now.  It's about time.

A quick check of most of items I ordered and all looks good.  I ordered some small blacklight flashlights.  At first I thought  they sent the wrong items.  Frustrated I put the one I opened back in it's package and in with the others and looked over the rest of the gear.  One of the extra camera batteries is charging.  I'll check it when done.  It looks like I got exactly what I ordered, save maybe the flashlights.  But... why not at least check those.  Batteries in, click... Hmm, if it isn't blacklight it IS something different.  Yeah, even those are probably right.  I might have to tinker with some of this stuff before long.  Oh, and I did order a rooftop carry bag.  Not canvas, but waterproof, with a lot of sales and good reports.  That simply allows for a bit more space, with the interior being limited.

Blathering.  I have a bunch of packages that arrived I need to look through.  I suppose I could read some of the mail that arrived to.  Dunno.  Later!
