See spot run!

I'm a little nervous, and a bit hacked off at the moment. There has been a spot on my hip, a bit smaller than a pencil eraser, for something like a year. No big deal, little pink spot. Until I saw it a few days ago... same size, but darker. Call me a hypo, but I'm not one to play games with skin care issuses. If you had ever seen my grandfather's nose, or his father's, you would understand. So now the hacked off part, I call TriCare West (military insurance company) and say 'I need a dermo that you guys have sanctioned' them' there is only one in a 30 mile radius' me 'Goody. Can I have the number?' them ' Hang on......... You need to see Dr. Clark first for a referral.' me 'Not good. It's impossible to get him unless I'm dying.' them ' You should practice your cough...'
Why is it that we have to jump through ten hoops before we are allowed to maybe see a dr.? I don't even know if this lady is going to see me, but I have to go to Dr. Clark, get a referral, wait a week to see if TriCare will accept the referral, and then make an appointment with the derm. That just seems like too much. I feel if you are a dermo and I have a dermo problem, I should just be able to look you up and give you a ring. Like the dentist. Some people don't like the dentist, but I do. You find a dentist that accepts your insurance (which is next to nil in the military scene for some unknown reason) and call them. They schedule you and your done. I like that system. Anyway, my initial consultation with Dr. Clark is at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow. I guess my cough was better than I thought...

Get your praise on

I'm really excited about this weekend. My Dilley twin friends are coming in for a few days begining Saturday. But Friday, I'm going with a group of women from the Chapel to Beth Moore in San Fran. I'm really excited to hear her in person. Her books are so moving, so I hope that hearing her voice makes it all the better.

long days go on forever

I guess the old saying 'time flies when you're having fun' is true. today has been long and tediously boring. i have planned out what i'm going to do tonight though; go home, pick up fromt porch, take down red screen, put away laundry, fold more laundry, make dinner, work on quilt, fold more laundry, go to bed. what, that doesn't sound like fun?! that's because it's not. oh well, maybe tomorrow something exciting will happen and i'll be able to rush into the weekend!... it's only 1:24... good grief.
