Birthday Boy

Happy 32nd Birthday to Scottish hottie James MacAvoy. First caught my attention in the sci-fi Dune.

Dental

As usual, I'm right. Just got back from the dentist and I do not have cancer. But he did find thrush and gave me a script for it.

Chiflado is still in good health and the healthiest sick person I know. I did give a sigh of relief.

Thank You

Thanks for being there for me. And I love ya'll more than my red Solo cup :-)

Colonoscopy

No, not me gain. This time it was Hush Puppy's turn. I went along because they would not do it without someone being there for him.

No problem. What's a friend for? It was just another chapter in our friendship.

Afterwards, we went to Einstein's for a light lunch and then it was back home for me. I crashed and took a nap. You'd think I was the one that went through the procedure.

Schlepping

Yesterday was hectic for me. Woke up at 5 a.m. had cawfee and was out the door at 7,45. Before I left, I called Einstein's Bagels to set aside some asiago cheese bagels. I grew to love them when I was in Michigan.

Went to the Medical Centre to see my psychiatrist, the delicious Dr J. We had a nice visit and he gave me a script for ambien.

Then I went to Einstein's for my bagels. I am a happy camper. I actually got my bus without waiting much.

Came home had lunch and I was off to my appointment with Dr M, my HIV doctor. We talked about some issues and he gave me a script for my acid reflux.

Then I waited forever to get my script. I was there from 1,00 to 3,45. I was exhausted and came home. I'll take the scripts to the pharmacy sometime today.

I came home and crashed. Normally I get under the covers for naps, but I was so tired I fell asleep and forgot the covers.

Got up, had a bagel for dinner and called it a night. Slept like a log.

Great Hair Month

I had a great hair month last month and looks like it's carrying over to this month.

I have a versatile hair cut that I can style in different looks. I kinda want to dye it again but who's gonna see it other than Jean Luc.

E did say the other night I don't look 53. He said I looked in my late 30's early 40's. What are friends for anyway? Love how they lie.

Bloated

I've been feeling bloated for the past week. I feel like a water balloon ready to burst. Gets on my nerves. I wake up bloated and go to sleep bloated. Don't know what's making me feel like that.

I have been taking over the counter meds to help out but I still feel like a water balloon ready to burst. I'm hoping this will pass soon.

And there's the acid reflux that makes me gag a lot. I can take stuff, but I still feel it. It's nasty because I can burp and I can taste the bile. Not a pretty picture. I see the doctor Friday and see what he's gonna prescribe.

Ladies who Dine

Went to India Palace for dinner tonight. Hooked up with E, a cherished friend I've known for 25 years. You read that right.

I'm blessed to have him in my support system, even though I give him the guilties because we see each other like once a year.

Anyhoooo, the food was fabulous tonight. Nothing like a buffet to meet my needs. The company was also great. We caught up on our lives and had a nice visit.

I would recommend India Palace for lunch or dinner.

JC The Musical

I already know I will burn in hell. So with that in mind, I have to share this with everyone. No comment.

Lupe

I don't mind having Lupe around. He gets the things I need done sometimes even before I know.

Lupe was at the doctor's office and I didn't know it. I was shown paperwork verifing me to back it up. Just wish he would tell me about it.

Birthday Boy

Happy 41st Birthday to hottie Ewan McGregor. Wonder if he's comando in his kilt. I would like to find out.

Dental School

I've been going to the UT Dental School. Last time they took x-rays and made a mold of my teeth, what's left of them.

Today they extracted a tooth. They also did a biopsy to rule out cancer. I already know I'm negative only because I'm the healthiest sick person I know. I get the results at my next visit.

Chiff out.

Ladies who Lunch

HP and I went to EZ's for lunch yesterday. We each had fabulous burgers and fries and onion rings.

It's always nice to visit with HP. We then went to HEB to get stuff for Jean Luc. He is so spoiled. He should be glad that he's an indoor cat.

And I would recommend EZ'S for a nice meal.

Billy Eliot

Anyone that knows me knows that I enjoy quality films and the theatre.
Every once in a while I get to enjoy both. I saw the film Billy Eliot so long ago and now there is a Broadway musical. Hush Puppy and I went to the Majestic to see the musical and I was not let down.

The story of young Billy who finds himself liking ballet. We then go through his story getting in the Royal Ballet.

I would highly reccomend both.

Colonoscopy

That time of year again. I went two weeks ago to the hospital to update my files. I have a new insurance company and they said everything is okay and just to show up the next Tuesday.

So I went Teusday and of course, not only did they not have my paperwork, they had me listed with the previous insurance company. They wound up calling the doctor to fax over the information. I swear these people are blondes.

So I went through my colonoscopy and when I came to, the nurses said everything was okay. I'm still making an appointment with the doctor. I really cannot stand this man, he has no bedside manner, but he knows his job better than the previous doctor.

We'll see what misadventures I will come across.

Birthday Girl

Happy 68th Birthday to Diana. I've loved her since childhood. Okay, I did dress up like her and sang, not lip synche. Just call me Trevor!

Jean Dujardin

What a babe! He won the Oscar for best actor. I would also vote for his hot schnozz, and he is just so good looking. I am satisfied with him. He won the Cannes prize for Best Actor, the SAG Award, the Golden Globe, the BAFTA and the Oscar for one film.

Chiffie out.

Dental School

Went to the Dental School at the UTHSC. We took x-rays and one of my molars need to get yanked out. My partial needs to be reset.

So far so good. I am pleased with everything regarding the Dental School. I will be going back on 4 April to begin the process. Sounds like fun.

Hearing Aid

I had my hearing checked sometime in the summer and found out that I needed a hearing aid. They found that I do need a hearing aid.

Trouble is they start at $16oo.oo! And they can work with me on a payment plan. Like I have $16oo laying around for it.

Yesterday I went to another Dr for this. I got to try out a hearing aid and it worked. This was the top of the line hearing aid and it only cost $45oo. Of course. I always look for the best.

This one was cool and had a remote for the hearing aid which only made it better. Like I have that kind of money.

I also found out that I should be on Medicaid and they would help me purchase one of these. I just need to find out where the nearest Medicaid for me to apply for it.

We'll see.

The Chair

I don't think I updated my info regarding the chair I wanted. I went to Desks Galore because I saw the commercials for it.

We went to look and chairs and I found one that was a bit art decoish and bought it. What the commercials don't say is there is a $90+ fee for delivery. The chick that I talked to said it would be a free delivery if a truck goes into downtown.

Long story short, they never delivered it after a week, so I called to cancel the transaction.

HP said he'd run by Target to see if there were any chairs. I went on-line and found a chair at the Target website. I ordered it Monday and it was delivered Thursday. Not bad.

So I am happy with it. It's a tad too big, but I want to get rid of the pub table and chairs that go with it to make more room for the chair.

Here I was minimizing everything and I wound up with more clutter. I plan on selling the pub table with the two chairs to make more room available.
