In other news, MD and HayZeus are getting along better:
Ok, so maybe we tricked them into it. But they are still adorable. Every once in a while we catch them touching noses...but then HayZeus tries to catch MD's tail and the pup isn't too fond of that. They're both big fans of sleeping with us though, which we allow now that HayZeus has gotten over his anxoius meowing syndrome. (See, I told you all he needed was some love)Today is my only day off until Thanksgiving (I had last weekend off, but that's it) and my boss called to ask if I would come into work. I wish there was a professional way to say "hey, go stick it," but there's just not. So I just told him no. But if he doesn't give me my 7/7 shift back soon I might set the building on fire...
Joe finally made some doctors appointments and will start using his insurance. I find this interesting since I started using mine 6 days after it kicked in. I think he's just been jealous of all the "thank you for choosing us" notes I've been getting from all of my providers. By the way, is that a new thing? So far my primary care, dentist, and eye doctor have sent hand written notes. I've never had that before...but I guess I've had all the same doctors since I was born.
I had my first appointment with my psychiatrist's office today. I saw the NP and she was great - much more enjoyable than my old shrink, who had the personality of a piece of lint. Originally it was just supposed to be an appointment to establish myself as a patient (a crisis it not a good time to shop for a mental health provider), but I've been struggling to stay upbeat lately and have also had trouble sleeping, so she prescribed some new meds. Not only does she have personality, but she actually listens to what I have to say about meds - which means I didn't get stuck taking 4 pills twice a day that would
a)make me a zombie
b)kill my libido
c)make me gain weight
d)give me withdrawls if I don't take them at exactly the right time
e)won't make me sick when I have a glass of wine with dinner
I mean sure, there's a chance that I could get a potentially fatal rash...but at least I'll be happy about it.
Oh come on, that was funny and you know it.
In all seriousness though, thus far I've been extremely pleased with all of my choices when it comes to doctors. I absolutely love my PCP, and both my dentist and eye doc are totally good looking. And lets face it, that's a bonus.

Brrrooowwww.. that's a little shout-out from Blackie.
I checked out Mollidog's link, and she's going to be known world-wide in no time.
It seems very unusual to get thank you notes from doctors. I have never received one. So maybe it's the doctors in TC or something. Congrats on having a nice new psychiatrist. Therapists rock my world. However, I once tried Wellbutrin to try to resurrect my libido and was in a miserable depressive state for 4 months. Never again!!
That's interesting because my NP suggested Wellbutrin, but my insurance doesn't cover it. Which is ok, because we ended up with a mood stabilizer that has anti-depressent effects (being bipolar means you have to treat both ends of the spectrum).
rraaa shrredder... (that was a Pilon thing) Are you working 8 hr shifts? Why did they change you from 12's? I liked the comment you made about the rash; at least you will be a happy person with a rash. :) This pregnancy has made me soo moody! grrr.. I feel sorry for Alfonso; pretty much these days I am content sulking in the corner (of which I am doing a lot of). I am leaving now to go back to HR (once again) for my freakin insurance. I hope that this visit doesn't bring on another meltdown. snarf.. :/
Yes, I'm doing 8's now. We're very short staffed, and that means my boss is screwing me over...not because he's a bad person, but because he's a bad manager. But I'm going to talk to him about it soon, and if he doesn't put me back on my previous rotation I'll be speaking with his boss.
I hope your insurance thing gets worked out - I am excited for you to learn the sex! I told Joe I already know what you're having, but I need it confirmed so I can prove that I know about these things :) (Thus far I've been right on the 7 of 9 nieces and nephews I've guessed on).
Especially like the picture of you and Joe. The expressions say it all!
Glad all is well with Molly Dog and welcome Hay Zeus.
