So today started with me calling my HSA bank to ask why I didn't get my replacement HSA card for the one I never got in the first place. She piddles around and comes back with I've NEVER seen the screens I ran into trying to run down why your card isn't here (comforting). Why don't you go to the bank and they can print you one in about 10 minutes. .... WTF WHY didn't you tell me this LAST time?!? I have been paying bills out of my pocket.

Then I remembered hey my endocrinology appt was changed twice so I call the hospital to be sure the labs are in the computer. They are. Hey connect me to OB/GYn because you keep calling and texting me non-stop for my gynnie. As I'm explaining I'm following up with oncology and I just want the mammo and to talk to her about some of my post surgery symptoms that NO ONE has addressed in nearly a year, the cell phone goes off with them calling me to make this appointment.

Afterward I go to Chillicothe to meet with the sports med doc and as I'm sitting in the room talking to the nurse, he asks, you look a little low sugar, need something. Nah I skipped lunch I'll be okay. We have crackers... Nah I'm...oh right I spent all morning on the phone I didn't eat breakfast either. It's 130. Yeah gimme crackers.

So basically this meeting was a bust. All he wanted to know was if I was willing to do PT or do I want surgery on the knee? This could have been a telehealth meeting... Yes to PT, no let's figure out what's wrong before I replace my knee, okay? In spite of the insurance telling his office AND me the EMG was all I needed they're claiming no, I must have PT. Fine, as I told the doc in no uncertain terms, sign me up and I will piss away their money. I could work on my balance and strength as is. God, insurance sucks and I'm already signed up for monday BUT I need to call my insurance to be sure they pay for this independent PT clinic (and for the glucose monitor before I go see the endo next week) (and at this point after ASKING about it, my dad throws a fit because I told him)

Since I was up at Chillicothe I hit TJ Maxx and found some cute ruffled socks, blue and white happy face hand towels, Halloween chip clips and while checking out in the long ass line (seriously it's Wednesday at 2 pm WHY are there 14 people in front of me in line) I spot Gloria Vanderbuilt socks, one of which was silver glitter with a pink ghost.

Let me explain my Gloria trauma. For the younguns, Gloria's fashion was that IT thing in the 80s but I couldn't afford her jeans or anything by her. I was picked on in h.s. for a lot of reasons and one of them was lack of family money. While I could care less about fashion names then (or now) the other girls did and they were merciless. Fast forward literally 40 years and I found Gloria Vanderbuilt jeans last year at Macy's and yes damn it I bought them just because of this (and they fit great)

And yes I bought these socks. Afterward I went for coffee and saw oooo my new bras have been delivered (along with my first pair ever of leggings) I go to Kroger's found nothing, got some dragon fruit bubble tea which they overfilled so when I put the straw in it fountained all over...my brand new grey shorts. luckily I had water in there left over my from cracker feast and I was able to wash it out before the red set in but now you can see thru my pants so now I can't go out to eat....

I come home and open my bras. The leggings fit if I wear a long top to hide how clinging they are to my gut but that's okay I bought them to wear under Svaha's freaking short ass dresses. As for the bras both are from Leading Lady. The one fits perfect and the other (different style) has cups SOOO big they fit my head (I tried it). I'm like you're both the same fucking size, just stylistically different so why is one perfect and the other I'll need to inflate my boobs to twice their size?

I dig through the socks (now that I have a dozen new ones) and hidden in the middle of the Gloria socks are pink and white stripes to go with my pink and white striped bra that fits (the only one of the sales bras in my size as I'm so not a pink/white girl) so I'm there trying it on and dancing around (my test for a bra, if it holds in the dance without me knocking myself out I keep the bra) looking like I skinned Angel Dust and am wearing him as lingerie.

And oh, for the Stitch (Lilo & Stitch) and Hello Kitty, TJ Maxx/Marshall's/Home Goods has your back, halloween stuff for all of them including sheets and shower curtains.
