Stupid Free Medical System. Pardon The Lack of "Marvelous"
So 34 minutes after leaving for the shot clinic, we're back. No shots. We're still not registered after 5 weeks. It was supposed to take 2.
Darn it - I just had a thought. As I was sitting here fuming over their lack of caring about my medical care-less family and how they at least could've called if there was a problem with our paperwork, I realized that they have our old phone number. Since the old number is still connected, they might have left a voice mail. I need to run the phone upstairs and check. Off to do that now. Back in a mo. (mo = moment)
NO MESSAGES ON THE CLOSET LINE. Grrrr. Now I'm really irritated. And of course, not only are we not registered, the business manager isn't in this afternoon to tell me *why* we're not registered. And they only do shots on Thursdays from 2-3. So we either get Julie taken care of next week, or it will be September 7 before we can do it. Customer service over here stinks.
I'm too irritated to write about anything else. I'm going to go now and enter our receipts into my little make-do Excel program for tracking our expenses while over here, then I'm going to tape all of the housing and car receipts to paper for Steve to take to work to fax to LANL. Then I'm going to sort through all the newspapers that are cluttering my life. Then I'm going to have some coffee and scones with clotted cream. Actually, I might do that first.
My ankle is much better but still tender, but because I'm favoring it my knee is now sore. I bought sturdy neoprene braces for both today. We'll see if they help. The ankle is fine for walking and driving, but it's when I pivot or turn that it gets my attention. The knee is fine except for bending. I need to take up goose-stepping.

Hi to the Nolens: Guess people in Los Alamos are telling you that this is the wetish summer in NM. Lack only one inch breaking the record and that was likely done today. The San Luis Valley has just enough sprinkles to change the color of the alfalfa. Barley harvesters are very anxious. Wonder about the green chilis around Hatch as they have had BAD flooding in the town. Always interested to read your happenings daily, April. GIGI
Yep, Hatch is floating away (only about 40 miles from us). People have a foot of water in their homes. So sad, people are so poor there already without their homes being filled with mud and sewage.
Why would people STILL continue to eat pigs blood when there's a such thing as pizza delivery? *sigh*
No worries- the chiles are safe!

I wish we'd get some of that rain. We've had one good rain since March. It's gotten so dry that the gun range has banned muzzle-loaders due to the fire danger!
Yea have definitely have not had a
monsoon season like this since maybe
1998. It has ran kinda long too. Can't clean gutters or mow lawn due to the wetness. Note most of it is in Los Alamos proper not as much in White Rock. Actually mostly at our house it feels like. ;)
It makes up for the quarter-inch of moisture we got from Oct 2005 to
first day of Spring 2006.
What we really need is snow if we want to keep the fire danger down here for the next year.
Soon the drought will continue this will not break it I am afraid.
