General chit chat

you can't stop such special friendships that easy-- that is totally true @Former-Member, luv u 2 xx

I'm off to the Doctor today. One in the next town over, it'll be a brand new one. Going into the city for the Doctor is just too far, and besides the last time I went in to that one - he wasn't there. I don't want to go all the way into the city just to find out if he's back or not. Next town over's only 3/4 of an hour away, so 1&1/2 all up, where as the city is 1&1/2 - 2 hours away, so 3-4 hours all up; it's about half the distance. I went in yesterday and made the appointment, I had been there before but it had been years and years ago, my details weren't there anymore. All I need is a script for some anti-inflammatories, the last box I got without the prescription; the receptionist at the city Doctor had told me to tell the chemist that the Doctor was away and they gave it to me, which leads me to think - why do I need the script in the first place . . . it's not a heavy duty drug. I was thinking maybe I didn't need it, but my body is starting to ache, I think it's the raining weather; I ache more in Summer, I thought arthritus was meant to be a cold thing?

I've been getting majorly slack again, not been doing the dishes or making the bed and my washing machine is brimming over, I desperately need to do something about that - my backyard is growing into a grass rainforest and I can't even think about the mower. My tank is full, there's a postitive thing 🙂

I'm going to the center of my Universe this weekend. I need to do something about these aches before then. I've just looked at the weather site, it's going to start getting hot again. I still want to go camping, I still want to find somewhere to escape the heat of this place. I still want to do something, see something different. I guess as long as I keep that somewhere in the back of my mind, that's my hope.

good luck at the drs today, i hope they can help you

I'm back from the Doctors, I have my anti-inflammatory medication. I'm hoping I might be going to like this Doctor . . . it's a she! 🙂 Although she is a Doctor and asked if I'd been checked for this thing and that thing and wanted to do tests for just about every other thing; and she did question why, when I told her I really didn't want to know; I do remember, at the end of the appointment, she said it was my decision whether I got these tests done or not, it was up to me.

Maybe next time I see her, if she asks me 'why'? again, I'll be able to remember and answer her. It's not that I want to die. I personally believe we're supposed to. I think we're supposed to die of high colesterol and sugar levels, heart attacks, cancer and the likes; I just don't think we're supposed to know about it.

I'm a very lucky person and have a very good life, I have a child - they have 5 children. I want my grandchildrens grandchildren to have the chance to be lucky people and live good lives. I simply don't want to extend my life any more than the time nature has given me.

I'm a wuss and will seek help with pain! I accept it's a part of life, but like many I don't like it 🙂 I absolutely believe consentual life termination should be legal. We are being born at about 3 times the rate of what we're dying, and we have chosen many other species of fauna and flora to do this with us. It's only a matter of time before we over-populate our Planet beyond it's resources.

Anyhow, sorry to be so deep and somewhat depressing. It's a thought I've had in my head for quite some time. It does feel better to get it out.

Hi Niqua and Outlander

Glad to hear you went to the docs, Niqua, and that you may get to like her. And that she is closer to you, and that you now have your anti-inflammatories. You know me, I like to hear you are taking care of yourself in that way. Makes it hard to read some of what you wrote about aging and health, but, like Outlander, I'm glad you got it out. Your logic seems true in one way and I agree about the right to choose to end one's life. But my heart just can't agree with sacrificing health care because of age. I'd like you to live as long as possible. I find you wonderful and am glad you are walking the earth.

Good Morning my beautiful cyber-grandgirl Claire

Sending you courage and a hand to sqeeze at the Doctors

I've got nothing in particular planned for today, though it wouldn't hurt to wash some dishes and clothes 🙂

I've always got a camp trip planned, I've had the destination for the next one in my mind since the last one 🙂

I even have an idea where my final destination may be. It makes sense to go somewhere that snows heavily in Winter to escape the Summer heat - so a mountain somewhere towards the bottom of Australia 🙂

I haven't been reading your threads, I hope you enjoyed your Hotel holiday and that things are better for you at home.

Lots of love for you @outlander
