This is my last full week of 5 hour shifts. I have one day next week... but then I only work 1 day next week.
I sent a blistering email to the VA yesterday. I have borderline glaucoma. I had an appointment scheduled for February 2020, however they canceled that back in September 2019. They did offer me an alternative date 5 days after they called to cancel and I worked that day. So I made a new appointment for 7/22 of this year... and the VA cancelled it, not because of Covid - 19, but because the Dr isn't going to be in the office. So I called yesterday do reschedule and the soonest they can get me in is March of 2021, more than a year and a half after they canceled my original appointment... because the Dr wasn't going to be in the office this past February.
On the cycling scene, I rode one of the Corsica stages yesterday - 19.53 miles. It took me an hour and 10 minutes. My average speed was 16.4 miles per hour (there are some hills). And my little leggies were sore. And what music was playing through my Jabra ear buds for that trek? You all holding onto your seats?
And you know how I talk about presidential moments, those things branding themselves into America's psyche which foretell either the success or failure of his bid for re-election. Well, the Idiot Jerk had another failure with his little walk through Lafayette Park. And then yesterday he had another when he and Melanoma visited a shrine for St Paul II. The Archbishop of Washington denounced the visit, criticizing the Idiot Jerk for politicizing religion. Defense Secretary Mark Esper threw more cold water on the Idiot Jerk when he told the press he had no idea the walk to St. John's was going to be turned into a political photo-op. And now his minions are saying it was Billy Barr's idea. Ouch! Looks like Billy's getting an up close and personal look at bus tires. Oh, shit! and it gets worse. North Carolina has rejected the RNC's bid for a full convention... so they're moving it.
While the bad news is continuing to unfold for the Idiot Jerk, Joe Biden, looking very presidential, gave an emotionally powerful speech up in Philly yesterday.
One needs to be elected in November. The other needs to be flushed down the toilet
WTF with the VA????? GO UNCLE JOE!
ReplyDeleteThat was actually a very good speech.
DeleteIt really does need to happen. Heard Gaga's new album a few times and, it's not that bad. 🙂
ReplyDeleteIt's not as good as The Fame Monster, but something I can ride to
DeleteOMG hope the glaucoma thing stays low key. And that they do something about that appointment!
ReplyDeleteCheeto was desperate to appear 'strong' after he ran to the bunker in a panic. I cackled when he ordered his mail order bride to smile when they did the shrine photo up.
I'm pissed at the media for not reporting on Uncle Joe giving such fantastic speeches. It's obvious he's the remedy for the COVFEFE-19 illness.
XOXO
I guess the Idiot Jerk was on Fox radio that the finger pointing almost put out 7 nearby eyes.
DeleteThe only people buying his publicity stunts are evangelicals who are nothing but racist fucks.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the White Supremacists... they love that 'strong arm talk.'
DeleteI also laughed when It had to tell Melanie to smile, and all she could manage was an ugly grimace.
ReplyDeleteAnd amen to the evangelicals being racist fucks!
I hope your glaucoma issue can be sorted before next year.
I don't watch him so I never saw the Melanoma smile, but it seems to be quite humerous.
DeleteThat's just incredible about the VA!!! Wow. I hope they sorted it out for you to get an earlier appointment. And you'll have to tell me how you're liking cycling through Corsica - it's on my bucket list! As for Trump, I just can't any more!
ReplyDeleteUsually the VA's pretty good, but this thing with the Optometrist proves their quite capable of dropping the ball.
DeleteCorsica is beautiful.
The results were still too close for comfort in some states for me with Biden and trump. Wake up people!!!! But if the actual vote was yesterday I think Biden may have taken it. But what a nice start to see Ella Jones won and that conservative bigot Steve King lost...by a landside. of course the buffoon was asked about it...his reply was "Never heard of him."
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till he is pushing daisies.
He's also been pointing a lot of fingers about that Bible bullshit.
DeleteDon't even get me started about the VA, had to do the Dance with them for Years for The Man's Care! The Base Clinic for me hasn't been much better and especially during Pandemic, still have the jacked up Shoulder from my Senior Fall a couple Months ago but they weren't seeing anyone not COVID related... now I won't bother, damned thing will be Healed {even if all Wrong} by the time they ever finally get me in. I could just go Civilian and pay out of pocket, but with COVID, the ER's are a Petri Dish and I'm not gonna Die from the Shoulder Injury.
ReplyDeleteShame your experience has been so bad. Heard today they're starting the paperwork needed to send me to a Civilian Ophthalmologist.
