I am ill prepared for tomorrow
Aug. 21st, 2025 10:17 pmIt's the all day faculty meeting. Heck I'm just plain ill. It hit me this afternoon at Kroger (I think the coffee didn't play well with my GERD but it cost me most of the afternoon)
I did run around all morning. Spoke to the Post Office because no one (not even them) can tell me if my mail forwarding has ended or not. I had to drive on the dirt roads to get there quickly and I'm not amused to learn 'well the forwarding happens in MI but I'll look into this and be sure they've ended the forwarding.' Yeah and does no one know how snowbirding works.
I did find out that the old ladies who I shared a table with (and wouldn't stop talking to me) were right, they really DID build another coffee shop like 1 1/2 blocks from the one we have had for years (and there are still Starbuck rumors) This one is across from a church so they called it Holy Grounds which is clever. I will check it out but I DO think it has had a bad affect already on The Spot because it was empty today. (and I noticed the menu has not changed since June)
I also set up my thyroid ultrasound for the same day as my neurologist so I don't have to drive up there twice. Yay.
I also went off on United Healthcare who called me to set up home nursing. I'm like WRONG DANA. He actually argued with me, that it HAD to be me and not texas Dana because how else would they have my phone number. I am furious at this point. I said we had this conversation in June. You people promised again to fix this. I'm really beginning to think I need to look into what else I can do about this.
I found a cool open call about appalachian characters and authors and I jumped right into this.
