Life is great and I’ve been feeling great, but I do have a couple of things to be a little ticked off about. Let’s start with the Internet since that one’s simple. It was fine when I got up, but once I got out of the shower and prepared something to eat while watching Slasher (LOVE that show) on Netflix, I found it was out cold. 

Looks like it’s back now, but this is part of why I upload from Word. That and the fact that whatever content you put on a site could disappear at any given moment if it were hacked or shut down. 

And now for the lab. Yeah, these doctors and billing departments really need to be a little more organized. We waited nearly an hour for nothing. There were no screaming brats or anything like that, but who wants to spend Saturday morning sitting in a chair with a bunch of strangers? 

A vampire I’d never seen before eventually called me back. I told her I would require a butterfly needle. They didn’t have any butterfly needles at the moment, she said, and then she starts typing on her computer and points at the screen to show a balance of $72. She asked if I wanted to take care of that now or be sent a bill. 

Confused at why we’d suddenly owe this amount, I asked her to get Tom from the waiting room to see if he knew anything about it. Since we still couldn’t figure out why Doc O was listed as having orders since she just released me now that I’m stable, or why I’d need to be tested again when I was just tested weeks ago, we agreed to cancel the order. She deleted Doc O, too. It was ridiculous to pay extra for tests that were totally unnecessary. My TSH, T3 and T4 couldn’t change in 6 weeks unless I stopped my medication altogether. I take 75 mcg daily and that’s the way it stays unless my TSH score ever drops below 1.0, something that would take a long time to happen if it’s going to happen at all. 

Anyway, since Doc A’s the one working for us and not the other way around, we’re going to let her know… enough of the thyroid shit for now! Although my peri symptoms have been much better, I just want to deal with that right now. Not thyroids or cholesterol levels that are far from dangerous. 

But yeah, it’s amazing how much better I’ve felt both physically and emotionally. I’m not 100% perfect, but it’s been way better. Can’t say for sure if the emotional tapping plays a part in it or not, but it definitely makes me wonder. My sleep is more of an issue now than hot flashes, dizziness, or racing heart. 

So other than a house in Hawaii on the beach, I have virtually everything and anything I could want in life. Well, except for evenly colored hair. At Walmart yesterday I was browsing through hair dyes when I spotted a coupon sitting on the shelf for $2 off Preference dyes. So I thought I’d try one, and damn is it weird! It’s cream-colored and feels almost like you’re putting a thin layer of oil on your hair. It was very hard to saturate all the hairs. So from now on, I’ll have Tom dye it or I’ll just go to a salon.
