Monday from the old Raj

Here. Haley's off to outdoor-ed for two nights.
We have a new compliance process in place starting today. It is clearly because somebody fucked up somewhere and made a statement that they definitely shouldn't have. Most of us stay well within the safe parameters, but one idiot fucks it up for everyone. Now, our parameters are about 25% tighter than before. It's restrictive enough that I might pull some credentials from my signature to avoid people overly assuming shit regarding what I can do. My overall patience is slipping, so I might be looking at other options more aggressively.
Wifey said family is starting the "what do you want for Xmas" chant. Trying to explain to people that you don't want anything and that your entire "want" list is actually things for one of your kids is rather frustrating. I don't need more HD gift cards, I have a ton. You know what you can do with $100? Put it towards Haley's new helmet or collar or motor or tires or coaching or...
And if anybody needs/wants to a kid's Leatt collar, the one I got Haley doesn't support her head well enough, so I need to get a new one. It's been used all of 4 times and she's already back to her foam one. Let me know and we can work something out.

MAN...I rearranged my basement man-space which included moving the previous owner's hand-built storage rack. Holy shit, this guy sucked at woodworking. I could build something better. Hitting a temporary pause so I can buy some framing nails and reinforce this piece of shit before I put anything back on it. I'm shocked it held for that long...
I called at 8:00 AM for an appointment. By 4:00, I had seen my doc for an exam, got two prescriptions to help with the pain, got six x-rays, and got the x-ray results. It is nice having a doctor who is AVAILABLE when I need him. Now I am just waiting for those pills to kick in. Thank you to the Toshis and scrublovers of the world.
If that were here, the process would be something like:
- Call and attempt to go see your family doctor, assuming you have one.
- You won't get an appointment, so you go to a local walk-in clinic. They might prescribe some pain meds and will send you with a referral to an x-ray place.
- Assuming there is a walk-in x-ray place around, you'll now drive there and wait for a few hours.
- Then you go fill your prescription and wait a home. Maybe it'll be 2 days, maybe 2 weeks, before you hear back about your x-ray results. They usually analyze them pretty quickly, but getting to the action part takes the longest.
- Now you need a referral for some follow up care, god knows how long that'll take.
- ***a few moments/months later***
- Your back has now healed itself and you finally get that appointment to see your family doctor (they'd be late to it, of course). yay
Last day here with the bestest friends of mine (literally) in the world. Such an amazing trip, I'll write up an (over share) tr soon.
Honestly a spiritual and mental transformation for me.
I'm just awed by the whole experience.

Mortimer will be a good name for her cat brother.
She was so named because she came to Homeward Bound on Halloween. She's three years old, vocal, more than a little spooky by nature, and underweight. She and Elsa are starting to seriously socialize and play together. Companionship for Elsa when I am travelling was my goal in taking in another companion.
If you two get human centipeded both could be.Damnit dude, one of those was mine.
If you like security vulnerabilities, sure.
there's a condom on the house
The mental image I didn’t know I needed.

Allegedly cats only really react to the first syllable of their names.
All our cats are monosyllabic, that's for sure!
Allegedly.
Sounds like a good time!
life changing, TBH.
But don’t worry, I won’t start posting like PSP anytime soon.
Or listening to Phish.

Like PSP...........but PSP in Peru, flying out of Jackson Intl Airport
The peanut butter has antennas. That’s the reason we are in the mess we are in, Brother.
Hah, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an international flight land here, even from Canada. But yeah, probably the private side, like the sheik of Bahrain and shit. .
