Morningstar Manor - where the plot never stops

This is a random rant about how shitty the American health system is.

I woke up this morning feeling much worse than I have been the last few days. I finally gave in to go to the doctor. I called my primary doctor listen on my insurance card. I was told I could come in...on September 2nd. I'm pretty sure I still won't be sick by then, and if I am, well I'll probably be dead. Apparently you have to preplan getting sick in order to get a damn appointment. Isn't that special? Remind me to get sick on schedule next time.

So, I was told to go to the ER. Ok, fine. No big deal, right? WRONG. 2 hours in the waiting room, then another 2 hours sitting on a bed in the hallway. By this point, my son and man are both being cranky and anting to avoid being arrested for strangling my signifigant other I sent them home, calling my mother to come get me when the doctor finally decided I existed. (I'll be on antibiotics for a week for my throat and ear). The nurse who was supposed to discharge me disappeared for an hour so the grand total was over 5 hours...for a 5 minute poking and a prescription.

So, I'm finally home, exhasuted, and I have to clean my house because mommy doesn't get a day off, even when she had the plague.

.... I'm just hugely busy. We are getting ready to move the kiddos into their own rooms. Which means we bought two new beds which are being delivered on Saturday. It also means the disaster that is currently the playroom will be my daughter's room and therefor must be cleaned and ready for the new beds. Of course their current bedroom (to be my son's room) needs the same thing. So that's where I've been this week. Getting kids off to school in the morning and trying to go through the mounds of toys and decide what is going to Good Will, what is being tossed and what is staying and getting things ready for the weekends redo.

I'll be on Tues (tonight) and Weds night during my radio show but I'm usually slow to tag during that - depending on how busy things are. I'm sorry for dropped threads, really I am. Next week, hopefully, things will be more normal.
