D'OH!
Hey All,
Well, things have been a bit crazy as I run all over Portland trying to get all my medical and dental paperwork done. I went to the dentist and she was pleased. She didn't see anything serious that needed attention. I am waiting for them to call with the completed paperwork. I had my physical last Thursday and everything checked out with the exam but I'm still waiting on the ...you guessed it...lab results and paperwork. I had to get a TB test and in my world cup reverie, forgot to go back on Saturday and have it read, so I have to get another at the low price of $66, hence the title of this post. If anyone is thinking about joining the PC, DO take them seriously when they say, get your appointments made ASAP! It's a process and it takes time but there's no frustration if you get started early.
Summer has been great so far..I'm getting alot of reading done and have reconnected with some old friends, specifically, my buddy Kate. We have been talking at length and it is as if we never lost touch, like finding that old pair of super-comfy jeans in a box somewhere and discovering they still fit. It's a great feeling! I'm hoping she'll come for a visit to show her the glory that is the great state of Oregon! I'll be pouring at the beer festival this weekend and am still looking to pick up some extra work, so I can get an iPod or some such device. Other than starting to do some lesson plans for the fall and shooting out to the beach or the gorge, I'm taking things pretty easy....every evening I take Speedy out for a long walk, reveling in the cool twilight and sometimes stopping for a gelato (Mmmmmm...Hazelnut!). I'm steering clear of the right-wing news shows to maintain my sanity. I watch them during the school year just to see how they spin the news but they end up upping my stress level, so I'm swearing them off. Besides, they're not journalists anyway, just right-wing ideologes for which truth and fact are malleable substances to shaped as they see fit.
I hope everyone else's summer is going as well.
All the Best,
John
