domino43Stupid internet keeps going out all day today and yesterday.
Anyway, yesterday I had an appointment with the Dr. of Pharmacy at the Dr.s office. It was just so she could ask me questions to see if I was a good candidate. She said she'd look over my charts again and talk with the Dr. and tell him what she thought. If they decide I should be on it, which he sounds pretty certain of, I'll go back in and we'll talk about it in more detail. I have an appointment with the Dr. on October 2nd (Birthday!appointment) when is probably when I'll find out what's going on. I'm sure I'll get my appointment with her shortly after that. So I'll probably start the shots sometime in October.
On the V.C. Andrews Book Challenge front. I've read 9 out of the 64 books. I've got a running tally over here. I'll update it probably once or twice a week, as I finish books. I thought I was going to fall behind the other day because I took, like 4-5 days to read Dark Angel. But then I went and read Fallen Hearts in just a little over 24 hours. Got myself back on track. In a few days I'll have no TV or internet to distract me, so I'll be able to read most of the books in about a day or two. I just may be able to do this. *fingers crossed*
Ugh. This whole electricity thing is just starting to annoy me. I called the electric company to see if, like the gas and phone companies, they'd take the deposit in installments. I was told they don't do that, but they do have a thing where, if you get someone that qualifies to sign as your guarantor, you don't need a deposit. In order for the person to qualify they have to have had electric service with the company for at least 2 years at a different address with no more than 1 late payment. I could only think of 2 people I know that fit that description. My Grandma & Uncle and my Grandpa. Well, my Uncle was out of work for a while and since my Grandma only works part time, things are still a little tight for them. Plus, she would never sign as Guarantor anyway. So I called my Grandpa. Well, I'd talked to my cousin who "warned" me that he's got a power-of-attorney. Well, he's under the false impression that for anything that's connected to anything financial he has to get their permission first. That's not how it works, but, whatever. So he said he'd talk to them (won't tell anyone who it is, but I think it's one of his old boss' "lady friends". For some reason he always thinks very highly of them, even though most of them are, excuse the harsh word, scum. I just get the feeling that it's someone that doesn't know anyone in the family.) and let me know, but to expect a 'no'. He called this morning and confirmed the 'no'. The thing is, I think he wanted to, because he sounded really sorry and kept asking me not to be mad at him. I understand where he's coming from and I'm not mad. I wasn't counting on it and figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I told him all that. But now, I don't know what we're going to do. And the power gets shut off on Monday sometime. I guess we're buying some batteries for the one flashlight/lantern and my CD player, some candles so I can have light at night, a cheap foam cooler for a few food items. And digging out those kerosene lamps and the camp stove. [sarcasm]Indoor camping! Woo![/sarcasm]
But at least, even if we still have no power when it gets cold, we have a propane heater that's strong enough to heat the whole house that wed won't need power for. So, even though we'll be in the dark, we'll be warm. :)
That's all I can think of right this second.
