Updates, Gossip and such

I woke up this morning with my head completely stuffed up, my eyes welded shut with sand, itchy inside my ears and down my throat.  All sure signs of what we lovingly call "Cedar Fever" around here. The mountain cedar is horrendous.  It will be the one thing that forces me to wave the white flag and give up and move.

But I have a client who is due in 2 days and the last thing she needs is someone coughing and wheezing all over the delivery room, so I trotted on down to the Med Clinic this morning.  I say "trotted" and it was really more of a hobble with my bad knees.  Anyhoo, I saw a very nice doctor person and after lengthy examinations and conversations he agreed with my self-diagnosis of Cedar Fever and arthritis of the knee bones.  So I am taking steroids.  I am on the 'roids, the juice, the stuff.  I wonder if I am going to bulk up and go postal?

This very nice doctor person also told me I need to do water aerobics and other water exercises to not stress my joints.  In order to do that, I think I might need to get myself a pool.  Wait till I spring this on Mr. Big Ed. Ha!

Then I went and stood in line f o r e v e r at Walgreen's only to find out they are so backed up it will be hours and hours until my 'roids are ready to be picked up.  So I came home and waited a long while and went back and got back into the interminable line in order to pick up my drugs.  Due to having insurance I "saved" $125.00 on one of the prescriptions.  Saved $125.  off of the regular price.  Shocking, isn't it?  Do you know what was in that particular bottle?

Six little tiny pills.

That's all.  Six.

Hmmmmppphh.  The next time I have money to invest in anything it should probably go to the pharmaceutical people that are hosing the general public.

Did y'all see Survivor last night?  o. m. g. !!!!  It was a shocker.  Two stupid twit girls told Jeff that they wanted to quit.  They were tired.  They were hungry.  They were wet.  They were just worn out. Big fat whiners is what they are.  Then if you watched online when those two wieners showed up at the Ponderosa, which is what they call the accomodations for the jury members, the other people there were flabbergasted and highly pissed that they themselves were voted out and wanted to be playing the game and now can't.

I found it interesting that they let them stay at the Ponderosa and continue on the jury.  Seems like they should be booted and bring back the last 2 people before to be on the jury.  Whatever.

Oh!  And I found this little tidbit online.  Celebrity Rehab 4 is coming in January and the cast has been announced.  It is as follows:

Janice Dickinson (who didn't see this coming?)
Leif Garrett (former teen heart throb and current druggie)
Rachel Uchitel (claim to fame is being one of Tiger Woods' women)
Eric Roberts (yep, another train wreck)
Jeremy London (this is the Party of 5 twin, not the Dazed and Confused one)
Jason Wahler (I have no clue)
Jason Davis (his claim to celebrity is being a socialite, whatever that means)
Frankie Lons (again, I have no clue)

Looks like Celebrity Rehab is going to be a bit of a misnomer, kind of like Dancing with the Stars was this season.  Down the tubes with another show, I guess.

Off to make some more hot tea with honey, drink another Emergen-C and carefully swallow a $25.00 pill.  Hope you are feeling great in your neck of the woods!
