fandomtrumpshate mods and my primary care doctor.
the mods were so very kind to let me back in to sign up late. Between my diabetes/cancer and my uncle's my head's a mess and I spaced on the deadline until I saw the late sign up post yesterday and had missed it. I was sad but then they saw I was sad (and a few others as well) and opened it again this afternoon. I thought that meant like noon-1, you know lunchish. It was 230 to 7 but I went from class to doc to meeting and got home 10 minutes too late. head desk. They let me in anyhow. So thank you. The kindness is appreciated. I'm offering both The Owl House and Prodigal Son again this year. I wasn't in the mood for Buffyverse. I was in the mood for Fullmetal Alchemist but I didn't want to hold them up more to come up with an offering so I just used last year's.
As for my primary care doc, she was so very concerned about my cancer and how I was doing. I got the referral (for my bad ear which is why I was there) and hearing how high my sugar was because of the lack of jardiance she gave me 5 weeks worth of samples to tide me over until the endocrinologist can work it out.
Speaking of which she sent up a new drug in the same class, never heard of it. CVS had none so I have to wait for them to get it in. God knows if my insurance will pay but if nothing else this give the endocrinologist time to deal with the asshole insurance.
My meeting was the libraries of Scotland. You can tell this librarian is NOT used to speaking in public. Also for anyone out there who'll have to make a powerpoint for whatever reason, less is more, less text less pictures. Don't crowd them on one slide.... That said they had tea and scones (and little marmalade jars) to go with it and the talk was interesting enough. The highlight for me wasn't a library, it was the museum of surgery in Edinburgh (and Greyfriars Kirkyard, a bucket list place for me) that has a book bound in Burke's skin. I tell the story of Burke and Hare all the time in class when we talk about the phrenic nerve and hangings but I didn't know his skin had been used to bind a book and now I want to see it.
Work was tense. There's a new (potentially serious) problem brewing in the class (something that I will have to report if they do this in front of me) and then the whole thing I was worried about last week reared its head today again. 'I'm coming to your office' which led to an hour of me jumping at every foot fall (and which ended up being nothing bad, just me and my anxiety)
And my brain did a dumb. I was trying to talk about mental states and I was mentally weighing do I say binge netflix and relax or chill out.' What I said was netflix and chill... OMG. the students lost it. 'that's not what that means doc!" I KNOW! I KNOW! It's not what I meant but okay since I said it, what breathing pattern is that going to give us....they laughed forever.
I got home and my phone was out again. Well it IS storming
