so, the remnants of the hurricane have been pounding us all damn day. my arthritis is having a field day. but, that was just the start of the shit day i have had. my doctor's appointment was at 2:30. i got there at 2:15. i checked in and the woman at the desk said they tried to call you this morning because the woman you were supposed to see isn't here today. i never got the message or heard the phone. more on that in a bit. she asked me if i wanted to reschedule now? i said yes. i was hoping that someone there later in the afternoon would have an opening. of course not. so, my appointment now will be Monday at 12:30. joy. i texted mom to ask her to check the messages and see if they called this morning to reschedule my appointment. now, the doctor's office is about a 30 minute drive from the house. so, there was a hour of me driving in the rain today. i got home, and of course, mom knew nothing of the text message i sent. she told me before i left that she checked the phone and there were no messages. she checked again when i got home and i guess the doctor's office called at 7 this morning. i didn't get up until 8:15. so, i now get to be the one to always check the messages. we get 50 fucking calls a day from spam or fuckers trying to get mom to switch her Medicare. i'm at the point where i want to get rid of the land line and preferably with a shotgun. and i'm in too much pain to be angry. these are the days where the 8 year old me is laughing in the corner, shaking his head, knowing he was right. (for anyone who doesn't get the reference, i was 8 years old the first time i ever thought of suicide)
the Yankees won last night at home against Baltimore, 10-1. that clinches the AL East. they have a magic number of 2 for the best record in the American League. they start a series tonight at home against Pittsburgh.
