What is it with Accuweather? 

I've made appointments with Dr. LaTempa (dentist - on the 23rd of this month) and Dr. Sathaye (psychiatrist - on June 8th in office). I tried to get an appointment with Dr. Milano's replacement - Dr. Doreen DeGraaff. I'd asked for an appointment through their web portal. Dr. Milano's office (she still called it that) called at 8:35 to tell me about Dr. DeGraaff's unavailability. She's booked solid until September. So, I didn't make an appointment. I told the office that I guessed I was old enough to skip the Pap smear. I'm now booked for all my annual physical doctors and my annual mammogram and bone density. Those will probably come out the same - bones dense, breasts not. 😉

I could not get to sleep last night. I tossed and turned, pulled on my nightshirt, took off my nightshirt, scratched at all the itches, went to the bathroom multiple times, pulled the quilt up so much the edging came undone again, and in general just couldn't sleep. The "emergency" alarm went off like 15 times, so I was really awake around 8am. 

The electrician came back today, instead of Friday. I certainly didn't sleep through a couple of days. And I'm pretty sure he went home yesterday. I'm really afraid to find out how much they're charging.
