Yesterday I tried to make an appointment at my girly doc for my annual wellness exam.  I love euphemisms.  :)  Anyway, it turns out they dropped my insurance company or my company dropped them.  It seems that both sides lie about it.  What a surprise.  :p  Anyway, I called my insurance provider to find a new one, and the woman got snippy with me.  Haha, maybe it was cuz I was a teensy bit bitter.  :(  She dropped the attitude as soon as I asked her how she would like to have to find a new GYN.  Then, she was all kinds of helpful and gave me 4 choices, 1 of whom is female.  I called that one first and lo & behold, she isn't accepting new patients, but her partner is.  Fucking bait & switch gynecologists.

A month ago today my Gramps died.  He had a long, wonderful life, and I strive to emulate him every day.  He was the most optimistic person I know, err knew.  Sigh.  For his birthday, he gave out presents to the staff at his nursing home.  Every year.  I doubt I'll ever get to that level of generosity and optimism, but maybe if I live to be 96 (and a half! :D), I might.  :)

I've been down & introspective in life lately; hence the lack of writing for 2 months.  Believe it or not, there's some stuff that I don't want to talk about here.  Thanks for all of the well wishes from friends, family, & strangers.  I didn't wanna suck anyone else down into my Black Hole of a Pity Party.  I'm still alive and mostly functioning, albeit with a tissue box nearby.
