03-28-22 Oscar Hullabaloo
I had a pretty good sleep. Not sure if it was the oil drops or just exhaustion but I am grateful. I was also grateful that I remembered to take out the garbage.
First stop in the day was at the Urgent Care clinic to see about Bobby. I saw there were only a few people in the waiting room, was taken in quickly and met with a nurse practitioner who explained that he would be pre-screening to be sure they could help. Once that was done he said ok, just wait in the chairs and it will be about an hour. I was stunned and promptly kicked in a panic attack. I told the front staff that I just needed to go walk it off and would be back. I walked down the length of the mall and when I got back, they were waiting to take me in, bless their hearts. I saw Dr. Paula Dubois and she was simply wonderful . I hope I get assigned to her eventually. She was surprised to see that Bobby was looking like that but does not hurt or look infected. I am to keep doing what I have been, soaking in Epsom salts twice a day and if I see any signs of infection come on back. She did tell me not to worry as even if it was terribly infected and needed IV antibiotics, it would not interfere with the surgery so that is a relief.
I stopped at the dealership and confirmed that Wednesday I can drop my car off at 8 in the morning and they will shuttle me to and from the office in order to get it finished. The decals and towing wiring harness are being installed and they will figure out why the tire warning is going off again. That will be a big one off my list. I was super excited to see they had a display of the type of tent I have on my Amazon cart, waiting to push checkout once I know I will be able to camp this summer. It made me want it more.
The rest of the day was spent trying not to have panic attacks, they seem to come easily these days but I don’t want to take anti-anxiety meds if they will cloud my mind right now. I am crossing more things off the list. I purposed to get home and finish what I needed to do before I am too busy. I made up the spare bed with the fresh linen, and put George in a jug of water while I seriously cleaned his bowl and its contents. Emmy had mentioned Patrick looked like he had fur and she wasn’t wrong. He and George are much happier now.
I did some puzzle while I sat with my feet in my foot spa full of Epsom salts and watched the Oscars. I had recorded them last night and found out today about the slap heard round the world. I only have one thing to say, I wish Jada had just stood up and said that hurt and that the comment was unnecessary roughness. Now it is an uncomfortable situation all around. And there are wars out there!! Women hiding in crowded places with their children are in far more need of protection than Jada Smith. What Chris said was stupid and bullying but nothing compared to Ricky Gervais in prior years. The news cycle needs to drop it, there is much too much more important to deal with in the world.
