Back from the doctor's.

I got to the appointment without incident--I made a point of leaving an hour and a half early, to compensate for the road construction (most of the street on which I live is completely impassible right now.  Sinkholes opening up, demanding repair, have kind of put a damper on quite a few thoroughfares, and standing little blocker signs on top of the holes isn't going to cut it when there's subsidence A BLOCK WIDE).  To my infinite luck, I didn't have to deal with the sour-puss nurse who triggers me and screams at me to "SIT DOWN!"  I got in right away, but had to be directed where my doctor's room was.

( I'mma ramble some, k? )
