  • Alive & kickin’

    Well, I finally home after one of the worst “vacations” in recent memory. Not only did we catch the dreaded breakthrough COVID but we saw the true colors of our friends. We got Lucky & caught it on a plane between 2 cities.

    Something I regret not wearing a mask on the plane, we should’ve & we probably would have been fine. But we where “risky” & didn’t wear one. We paid the price 4 days later when I came down with symptoms.

    Screeching in our ears about certain things where icing on the cake. We decided to drive between cities something that was very pleasant. But due to idle threats we had to black out FB for a week. But I can assure you we got Home & have no plans to travel for a very long time.

    We’re alive & kickin’ thanks to vaccines & being careful on the trip back. It’s truly good to be home!!

  • When your doctor fails

    I’ve had my share of bad GPs but this last one takes the cake. I am applying for grad school in the Fall & am looking for work. I send out a CV a week with a cover letter. I write every day I can in my journals.

    My highly unprofessional GP sent me a flame message on the health network website telling me in no uncertain terms that I should apply for disability. Something I don’t qualify for because I am active & have worked recently.

    I may have a mild mental illness but I have not been hospitalised for the last decade. I found her message unprofessional & rude. I get up between 730-8am every day & sleeping “in” on the weekends means sleeping till 9am.

    I’m disgusted by her unprofessionalism & her blatant ignorance of me as an entire person not an illness that barely effects me. She wanted to shed me as a patient & if I get disability I become a ward of the state & would have a state doctor.

    She should have been professional & simply told me she no longer wanted me as a patient. Something she simply didn’t do. Now, I have spoken to my friends & to other professionals & when I come back from my trip I will be making some decisions.

  • Single cap & willing to travel

    As our short jaunt to CPH winds down, I am grateful for cafes with excellent coffee & people watching. CPH has been adventure. With some highlights, such as Democratic Coffee off the main drag & café Wilder where we ate on the first night.

    We had a total miss at a supposed good restaurant. But you can only eat soo much cream & pea shoots in your meal. I for one was disappointed in the pricey dinner. The hotel, NH Collection had a total miss on our first night.

    They remedied the situation & gave us a better room with late check out today. Something I really appreciated. They also booked a spa treatment in the hotel for my husband for his birthday.

    CPH has been full of surprises & let downs. Of course you can’t get away from the tourist that photographs their coffee, dinners et cetera. Something I find really obnoxious & it makes them stick out.

    It’ll be good to come home for a few weeks. Till next time.
