Good and bad and B7 cards

Bad
It took me two hours to get home. One hour was spent getting the repeat prescription of steroids and antibiotics I rang my doctor for this morning and which he promised to fax to the pharmacy. He didn't. So I had to go to the clinic, which was so hot I felt ill and had to sit outside, and wait for an hour for the damned thing--and then he forgot to put the steroids on it so I had to send it back in. Sigh.

Good
The supermarket was mercifully free of American songs about winter and I now have milk, eggs, cat food, and stamps for the B7 card I haven't got round to making yet. I think I'll draw this one because it'll be easier than doing a manip.

So if any B7 fan whose address I don't have wants one, add your address to this post. I'll screen the comments by default and unscreen any ordinary ones.

sorry your doctor gave you the run around x

He's good, but very absent-minded. :-(

I'm sorry to hear about the prescription...

I got it in the end. I was so frustrated though.

Why are so many hos[itals and clinics terribly overheated? Apart from the discomfort and the extragavance, it's almost as though they want to encourage the spread of airborne infections.

It wasn't overheated. It's summer; it's just not cooled--like my office. I felt much better sitting on the steps in a bit of a breeze.

Ah, I should have realised that. Replace "overheated" by "undercooled" then. (Thoough over here I wouldn't be surprised if the heating was still on in mid-summer because nobody had remembered - or knew how - to turn it off.)

Ah, I should have realised that.

It's amazing how few of you in the 'Real World' do. And people wonder why we have such low self-esteem. :-(

When I went to Star One 2004, the weather was hot--and the hotel was hotter because the heating apparently stayed on till a certain date.

It seems like no time at all since you were telling us how wet, windy and cold it was, and complaining that spring still felt like winter.

December is relatively mild here at the moment, but I believe the forcast is for bloody cold at the weekend.

That's what we got when you live an a piece of land so narrow you can walk across it in a few hours. It's still windy at times, but hot, humid, and sticky sticky sticky which doesn't help when you feel ill. I usually fear winter because of months of coughing; I didn't think I'd be hit in summer. :-( I'm usually healthy in summer.

Sympathy over Star One. And I did know that it's currently summer in NZ, but just didn't stop to think what that would mean regarding the likely cause of an overhot clinic.
