To the VA doctor first thing this morning. Yesterday’s dinner injury has greatly worsened to the point of severe soreness and an inability to swallow at all.
It’s bitter cold with a stout north wind. Now why in THE hel would Socks want to go out in this?
*see? That certainly didn’t last long. He’s back in the Cat House.
Plans: work 10hrs
Donar, Son of Wotan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me
To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Outcome: Called into the production super letting him know what was going on, telling him I’ll fill him in later on the details.
Now why did I think they started seeing patients at 7AM/07:00?
Finally talked to the appointment setter. WHAT? In meetings until 1PM/13:00? Nonetheless, I talked to a nurse who was in contact with my doctor. Perfekt, a Lidocaine prescription is made. Down to the pharmacy for pick-up. I waited for almost AN HOUR only for them to tell me (after my 2nd visit in) my prescription was out of stock. WTF? Chloraseptic? Can’t I get that over-the-counter? What kind of shit is this? “Well, then you’ll have to wait until tomorrow“. WTF?????????? Home to make more phone calls to the VA in an effort to have my Rx released to my niece, who is the Pharmacist-in-Charge of outpatient pharmacy @ Via Christi St. Francis. We’ll see if the VA can handle this.
Choked down my first nourishment since last night; cream of celery soup. FUCKING OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
32F/0C outside with stout winds, 59C/13C in the Cat House, smart Socks for staying inside.
The VA called! They ARE faxing my Rx to my WONDERFUL niece!
Picked up my Rx and met a beautiful woman!
To Dillons for creamy soups
Dillons petrol since I was there.
Sent a HUGE “thank you” to my doctor’s nurse for the way she handled this.
Call into the production super at work with the details. We had a good laugh together. Hey, c’mon, it really IS funny if you think about it. He said not to worry about coming in today. Gotta love that man!
WOW! Rx tastes like shit…
*not now…mixed it with honey.
Back to Dillons for liquid nutrition and puddings.
Call into brother and sister; filling them in on the difficult 24hrs.
Yummy, well-chewed chicken noodle soup and some vanilla pudding.
Jeez…7PM/19:00 and I am so ready for bed. I think I may actually get a MUCH BETTER night’s sleep than I did last night.
I think a good, long, warm shower is in order!
Nighty-night.
Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.
That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” will form now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, will be, but we cannot yet see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
PM Clarification Rune: none
