Gotta Get It Done ....

 Today I have no appointments. Well, not really. Waiting to hear back from a place I am doing the IOP. I may have to do their Intake Admission in person, but thought she said we are able to do most of it over the phone or Zoom calls - including my sessions. For what the insurance isn't covering, I should get a steak dinner in there somewhere, too. Either way, that will get started today. Oh! I checked my calendar (thank goodness!) and I see there is a Group Zoom meeting tonight at 7pm that counts for AA and support. I'm going to try to do my meetings with them on my weeks I do not have VFW meetings. Those nights I still need to locate an online/in-person site to pick one. Have several in mind.

Tomorrow is my Para. I feel we will be draining some amount, as I am starting to feel the build-up of fluid. What a joke, right? Get it, April Fools Day? Thursday is another day with no appointments except a possible Zoom liver transplant support group from 12p-1p if I want to - not required. So I set up a service appointment with Toyota. I got a safety recall regarding the OCS sensors in the passenger front seat. Seems some were made improperly and can short out, causing it to reflect incorrect weight and possibly cause the airbag to NOT deploy. I set it for 7am. Trying to reach out to RM now, and see if she could pick me up from the dealership ( a couple miles from her) and I could go visit until it was ready, then get a ride back.

Today I am going to be hating Life. I MUST/NEED to get the medical finished calculated (plus mileage) and read up on how much medical we can claim, and get the taxes done and filed! I have had paperwork strewn all over my desk for the past few weeks as I try to piece together 2025 medical, and get 2026 recorded so I don't have this mess again. Adulting is getting harder.

Talked to RM, looks like I will be visiting with them on Thursday. Waiting this morning for the call for the IOP. And working papers for taxes. Joy.

So Much To Look Forward To ...

 So I went to the docotr yesterday. A new one (to me). He seemed alright. We agreed my BP was high, and needed some medication to bring it down. So I will be going over to the drug store today after work to pick up that prescription. Of course, he wants to go getthe regular labwork done, since it has been years since my last, and they need a baseline. I set that appointment up this morning for Monday, as it was the earliest I could get.Then he asked that question I was not looking forward to: colonoscopy.

I am not scared of getting one. The Doc did send out a referral request to my insurance and I should know more about scheduling one in the next couple weeks (I was told). I just don't like the thought of someone putting a camera up my ass, when I don't feel there are any issues. My stools are fine, regular, and regular-looking, so why do I need this checked? Colon Cancer. You may not know you have it. I got that - but (butt?) still....

On the plus side of getting my colon checked, my HBP under control, checking on my A1C levels (I have been borderline for years for diabetes (Wilfred Brimley voice - "DIE-A-BEET-US!") and those cholesterol levels, I found out how much I weigh. Now I am a big boy (yes, really) and the estimated weight on hte forms I filled out was 25 pounds heavier than what the actual weight was. So I feel good about that.

When I logged into work today, I see we have enough on this project to probably work today, then be completed. Another Team Member asked yesterday after I wwas gone, about moving to a new project. The higher-up muckity-mucks say that the plan is to move us to a new project on Monday, so continued work is a possibility.

Got my new VFW plate in, and will be putting it on the car this afternoon. I think I will take the car and get it washed prior to our trip this weekend as well. I am sure there will be enough bug splatters/dust by the time we get there, but it will look good in the meantime. Maybe tahe the Youngest with me and have him help vacuum it out, though it isn't bad at all since I hardly drive it. More dusty on the outside from just sitting in the drive.

Welp, I should get back to working.
