Do be more careful this year in the snow and ice.

I'm always very careful, but I have a pretty bad gait disorder so there is only so much I can do. Fortunately, I usually fall on my ***. I used to walk with one Canadian crutch, but I went back to the cane because I had one fall where my arm got caught up, and I don't want to fall and break my arm.

It's suppose to get up into the 40s today. I'll give the sun some time to melt the ice and wait until later in the day to go out. I should vacuum at some point.

I'm not happy with my pharmacy right now. I called yesterday to fill 4 prescriptions. I had a script for Topamax on hold, and asked them to fill it. Instead they called my pdoc's office asking for more refills, but she had just written me a script so she said no, and called me. I called CVS again yesterday to ask them to fill the script I had on hold, but according to the app this morning, they didn't. I called back again, and hopefully it will be ready by 11am. Ridiculous.

Oh am sorry that happened.
my pharmacy is so good.
except they won't refill my klonipin any sooner than a day before it expires. I like to get a few extras each month because when we travel it is for 2 weeks and my prescription could run out if I were careful about getting the refills. and I feel more secure having extra klonipin if I need it. I think I have timed it right for this trip.

It's a miracle! I slept until 6:30! lol. Sleeping in a little is nice :)

I didn't enjoy the unnecessary pharmacy BS, but at least I'm stable right now and didn't totally freak out about it. My prescription was ready when I went to pick it up, but I had checked on it beforehand to be sure.

It was bright and sunny yesterday, and by the time I went out around noon, the ice had melted. It's going to rain today. I have no plans to go out, but it will freeze over night and possibly effect my plans to go out tomorrow.

I have 4 regular cigarettes left and e-cigarettes to last me a while.

yeah! glad that you slept in!
Hoping that the ecigs work out for you and that you get used to them.
I met some one one time who had a fancy one a vaperizor just to play with the smoke! His looked very big. like a box.
I did not look like a cigarette at all.

I let the assistant property manager know about the visible stain on the ceiling, and was sent a copy of the maintenance request.

Yesterday morning I got an email that said ONLY "Appearance of ceiling is normal." It was not signed, and didn't come from the property management's account, although it had to be connected to maintenance.

If they had come, they would have seen it, but I know that nobody has been by to look at the ceiling, because I've been home, and the email came before I went out yesterday.

Anyway, I replied with a picture of the stain to prove it IS there, but said I had no intention of pursuing it any further, as I was tired of talking about ceilings.

Oh, and after 8 weeks, no handicap sign. I asked for a reasonable accommodation and they have failed to provide me with it. There has to be a law that they have violated since this has hardly been a reasonable time to meet the request. I will look into that.

There's a pretty big leak coming from the base of the spout in my kitchen sink, water is leaking from the top of our fridge, and I have to mess around with the large burners on the stove or they won't work, and sometimes they stop working while I'm cooking. But I'm ****ing sick of maintenance, and have no desire to deal with them, or the office, right now.

I ****ing hate this place. I wish we had the money to move now.

I am sorry kay, this all sounds very frustrating. I wish you could move to.

I believe the complaint about the sign would go to the OCR office that handles your state.

My e-cigarette looks like a regular cigarette, but this disposable one is black, it's heavier than a regular cigarette, and the end lights up red when I inhale.

So far it's working out very well! I can't believe it's holding up to my morning chain smoking! I'm feeling confident enough to buy a kit.


I'm going to contact the assistant office manager for our apt. complex today via email (because I want all of this in writing) again to ask about the status of the sign. I get the feeling that after all of this waiting, they are going to tell me they can't put the sign in because the ground is frozen, although I know no one has even tried yet because the ground is undisturbed. I have no idea what the delay is… it's ****ing ridiculous.

I don't want to start more problems here, but I may if they tell me they can't put the sign in. They asked my permission to put up a "5+ year resident" sign instead of a handicapped sign because it would be quicker (LOL), but there was never any question about why I needed a specially designated parking spot.

Donna, What is OCR?
I emailed the Massachusetts Fair Housing Center, but got ahold of the wrong branch. They referred me to one that is closer to me, as well as the Mass. Commission on Discrimination, and New England Legal Aid.


Anyway…
I almost threw a couple of loads of laundry in this morning, but stopped myself. It would have been a mistake considering I have to go grocery shopping today, and don't need to tire myself out beforehand. I would like to get some things done when I get home, but that will depend on how I feel. I'm doing a better job at not pushing my limits since I beat myself up so badly around Thanksgiving.

I'm going to try to wait until the ice melts again before I go out.

I am glad that the ecigs are working out for you! Is the kit the same thing as vaping? playing with smoke?
