Day 413

It was a normal get up before the alarm, surf and play Minions, then get up day.  I was up by 8 to do the pet stuff and have breakfast.

Then the dog and I left to do some Black Friday shopping.  Remington has a $5/box rebate on 9mm and Academy has a sale on it.  The end result is $6/box.  Of course they were almost out by the time I got there, but I manged to score 27 boxes.  I figure that's a win.

The next stop was across the street to get cat food.  We were down to the last can of Taiko's food.  I couldn't buy it the other day because I didn't have the prescription.  I got a dozen cans.  Then I ran the dog on the grass at the back of the shopping area.  She loved it and did 21 retrieves.

Ellen called just as I was leaving.  They were taking her in to look at her small intestine.  I went over there and sat in the waiting room.  I made sure they knew that I wanted to talk to the doctor afterwards.  Eventually a nurse came in.  The doctor had blown me off and "was going to come to her room later".  Yeah, bullshit.

I went up to the room and waited with Ellen for a couple of hours.  Of course the doctor never showed.  I had to leave because of the dog.  It was good I did.  She had to take a piss before we could leave the parking lot.

I stopped at the post office on the way home.  There were two packages - cat food and medical supplies.

When we got home I put up the Christmas lights on the gate.  They look good, but there aren't enough of them.  I buy more tomorrow.  Then I surfed for hours.

About 5 Ellen called.  The sack of shit doctor never showed up.  She got some sort of information that the problem is right on the border of where the surgeon should deal with it or the gastro guy.  Maybe they are arguing over that.  I told her that someone better come to her with a plan by 10 tomorrow or she needs to start making a lot of noise.  I'm really pissed.

I've spent the afternoon and evening surfing.  I did talk briefly with Tony about what he wanted for Christmas.  He lost the coat we bought him, so I'm going to get him another.

The internet makes shopping easy.  I've made four purchases over the last few days.  Mainly shooting stuff and presents.
