...ROAD TRIP

It was road trip weekend out to Madison. We headed out to Inferno with a good friend of ours and went to the monthly Leather and Lace outing that they have there. It was quite packed. Lots of people just being themselves. It was a good time.

All I know is that I had just a tad too much last night. When we woke up this morning, I feel really bad for the cleaning staff today. They might not want us back.

...my doctor made a mistake he'll regret.

I recently posted about a doctor's appointment I had about a month back. I hadn't been to one in a few years. So, with everything that went on I decided to get some blood work done and make sure everything was in check. Well, it wasn't.

Here is the kicker about it. At the visit, I had to insist on getting these labs done. Not only that, but I had to call for the results, the Rx for what is ailing me due to these results, and call back SEVERAL times because nobody was calling me back even though I kept getting told I would be getting a call.

So, yesterday, I called the managing director of the facility. I left a voice mail for him and let him know that I was very displeased with the lack of care I was getting from the facility. I had explained how I visited on April 6th, but had to call back two weeks later to get my lab results. Then when told that a Rx was going out for my vitamin D deficiency, I went to Walgreens later that day... nothing. So I called back when I remembered a week later and talked to another gentleman who told me he'd get in contact with a nurse who would call me to get it taken care of. No call was ever received. I let him know I was quite concerned over this and was thinking of switching health care providers due to the lack of service I was getting from the facility overall.

Today, I got a voice mail from him. Seems he wasnt too happy about the service I was getting as well. He's looking in to getting me in to a different doctor and will be working with the one who WAS seeing me. As for my Rx, a nurse called me almost immediately after that to let me know that she called the Walgreens here near my house and that it was indeed there and filled last night at 5:30 (glad they let me know last night when they faxed it in!).

So today, I get home, there was a piece of mail from my doctor's office. It was a survey. About my visit.

I'm so going to have fun with it.

Today was better because my doctor made a mistake he'll regret... and I get to do the right thing by voicing my concern about a healthcare system that *I* have to pay for out of my own pocket. So, if this sounds a little bit mean... I really don't care. I expect to get top notch service if I am the one paying for it. It's my body, my health, and I'm going to make sure it's taken care of.

...I saw a flower.

No, I wasn't actively looking for them at a florist. I just happened to be coming back from class today and there they were.

It lets me know that spring in and of itself IS going to show up one of these days. There were white and yellow daffs all along the streets. I didn't notice them until today.

I had just been thinking this morning on my way in that the trees are not green yet. That has been depressing me a bit. I want my trees to be swaying in the wind while I lay on my bed with the window open and the sun shining on my face as I take a nap. It's a great sound. I mean, wind itself doesn't make noise. But, when air goes through all the leaves it makes me sleepy and brings me back to a time where I would put on my headphones and just listen to music. Not a care in the world back then.

So, today was better because I saw a flower. And it made me remember.

...when she makes herself crack up...

She snorts and looks like this picture. I tend to start laughing too.

I love her.

She's going to kill me for this post, but it's true. Love this girl.

...It's time to start pimpin' the WTII Records Minifest 2 : Interview with Dave Shock of WTII Records

Falken: I'd like to start off by saying "thank you" for agreeing to do the interview. I had a lot of fun interviewing Matt and hopefully getting him some new people listening and buying his music.

So, I am sure there are people reading this asking themselves "who is this Dave Shock guy?", "what is WTII?", and "That guy runs a record label?"

Give me some background on you, the label and what it takes to run one. Because I'll admit, I've known you for a while and *I* don't even know the whole story.
