Made it.

.

The appointment was today.  It has... been a long time since I was out.  Wasn't sure I would make it, or on time.  I've been awake all day and night... couldn't sleep.  Got a shower in, washed shirts for fresh, pulled a pair of my cargo pants from airtight storage.  With everything planned, it went rather easily.  Though I had to search for my wallet.  Ugh.  Always something.

The goal was to be out by ten, for a 13:30 appointment.  Would have been out just slightly after, save for the wallet hunt.  I ended up leaving at around 10:45, giver or take a dozen minutes, five?  Something.  I made it pretty easily.  Coming back it hit traffic jam after traffic jam.  People are, pretty much, idiots.  Traffic slowed.  I expected to see an accident.  I did... on the other side of A CONCRETE BARRIER.  Talk about being pissed!  What f'ing morons!  Absolutely no reason to slow down, none.  People are idiots!

It was a semi and a smaller car.  But it didn't look like death was necessarily involved.  An... interesting physics involved, I'll admit.  But I could have taken that in and understood the thing at 80.  Five to ten for an half hour wasn't necessary.  Idiots!  Ugh.

Got set back on medicine.  Doctor saved me a trip to the eye clinic, by putting in a consult.  Quicker.  They weren't even answering their phone.  I didn't contact dental, yet.  Will try tomorrow.  Filled out travel, asked how long that takes.  Three months, at least, he said.  Yea.  Ugh.  Good thing I have some money here and there this month.  And, may have to go back in for blood tests.  That never got arranged, and I was so out of it, I didn't remember to notice.  

The drive up there is about... $60, up and back, at least.  It... just is, these days.  Gas is around $4.25 around these parts, or higher if you aren't careful, in the city.  I think I saw $4.89?  Or was that diesel?  Some places, in the big city, with charge more as some sort of rip-off of companies by employees who do the fill, get kickbacks?  I'm not sure how much they pay, for travel, but usually it's fair... covering gas and usage well enough.  I'll just put those checks into savings.  Call it future savings.  Unless I have to travel enough to dig into credit.  Then I'll use those to pay that off.

It was a nice day.  Mostly overcast, rained on my way out, which was wonderful.  Dry on the walk in.  Cooler, but not cool.  Hmm?  It is, here, 66/67 outside.  And, 71/74 downstairs, 73 upstairs in the main.  I didn't check down near my mat, am too tired to go do that right now.  I have no idea what it was in SLC, but I think it was similar.  Especially after it rained.

I wanted to get coffee, and some groceries, on the way back.  That just wasn't possible.  Same with a stop at the post office.  Just... couldn't do it.  Fried, zapped, shot.  Though, of course, I can't go to bed yet either.  Stupid "game".  Can't lose for winning or win for losing.  Bleh.

Well, on to chilling until I can sleep.  Goodnight.
