Well hello Dr. Hottie pants!

So I finally made it to the clinic today!  I DID go in yesterday, but the wait regardless of the fact that I was in there 1/2hr after it opened it was packed and Joann was on her way over to give Heddy her shots later on in the afternoon and I didn\’t want to put her off once again.  Of course the Doctor that was in on Saturday was a woman which would have been an ideal choice for me given that I needed to have my breast looked at.  OF course today the Dr. on call was a guy, and a rather hot one at that!  Not one that I would \”involve\” myself with personally but man were talking some serious eye candy here!

So when Dr. Lavy Dr. Hottie Pants walked into the exam room I was all durrrrr I can\’t talk ha ha.  Anyway I explained what I *thought* was the problem, turns out I was indeed wrong because the location isn\’t the same.  So while he was groping me examining my breast to see where the mass was he couldn\’t locate it.  I refrained from saying that\’s OK darling you just keep on coping a feel until you find something, really its OK ha ha.  However its under the surface of my skin and its the size of a pea or roughly the size of one.  So he told me not to worry about it but is sending me off to see these people for a breast ultrasound.  Problem is, medicare no longer covers them.  They also don\’t come cheap, at $200.00+ a pop which I can\’t afford until May because of rent, my bus pass and insurance eating up the rest of my hard earned money.  I am exceptionally hopeful that my insurance will in fact cover it.  YAY for QC health care *insert heavily loaded sarcasm here*

Strange thing is last year when I went to see my OBGYN and forgot my medicare card I was told that if I forgot it next time I would be billed $100.00 for the visit.  So what somewhat troubles me astounds me  is that its only $100.00 to fondle my crotch but $200.00+ to fondle my boob?  As far as I\’m concerned my \”girly bits\” are FAR more private then my breasts are humph!  In any case the area is still burning, not in a ultra hardcore painful way but its still there and its still noticeable but Dr. Hottie Pants doesn\’t have x-ray vision so before I can receive the proper medical treatment I need to get an ultrasound first.

So between my boob, the chipped tooth that I desperately need to have repaired, not to mention the one that needs to get pulled I\’m rather frustrated with the sad state of affairs that my body is in lately!  Thankfully I DO have dental coverage and off to the dentist I go and soon to have those matters dealt with because I only have to pay 20% out of my own pocket, that I can deal with because I tell you, my tooth is bothering me FAR more then my burning boob.  So I have quite a few phone calls that I need to make Monday ugh!

In ohter news, i\’m *almost* done decorating my apt, which means pictures will come soon!

Fabulous Friday!

I LOVE 5 week pay months!  They don\’t happen very often but when they do, I tend to get extra excited!

I needed new shoes since I managed to spill liquid egg ALL over my suede air walks and essentially ruined them for day-to-day wear.  They have now been delegated to my \”work\” shoe collection.  I\’m not a big shoe person really.  I own my 8-hole doc martens, 1 3 pairs of air walk\’s, some no name brand skate shoes, a really hot pair of sandles that only fit when my feet aren\’t swollen, a pair of real and faux Chuck\’s and a super cute pair of ballet flats.

So I thought I have the extra cash why not go and see what\’s available to me.  Went to winners first, found a pair of DC skate shoes that I LOVED but they didn\’t fit right, and the hot pink retina burning soles really held little appeal along with their matching laces…  So then I went to pay less, they\’re reasonable and they have air walks which I love.  I can\’t skateboard to save my life but I love skate shoes because they\’re more durable and super comfy and IMHO cute, most of the time.

Found a pair similar to the ones I recently ruined and thought I\’ll go browse the other stores in Alexis Nihon first before I commit to buying a pair of $50.00 shoes that I wasn\’t entirely sold on.  So I went to Zellers and they had a shoe sale on YES!  They too also carry Air walk\’s and those are only $39.97 regular price but were on sale for $29.97 a pair so I bought 2.  Mostly because finding a pair of shoes that I like for me is rare, I like simple shoes in solid colors.  Not this attention grabbing, neon, bedazzled to death nonsense!  Mostly because I have small feet for someone who\’s pushing 6ft tall and everyone seems to point that out.  So I buy them a size bigger so that they at least look appear to be in proportion to the rest of me.

That excited me greatly!  Then I was strolling around and found memory foam pillows on sale as well for $29.97 YAY!  So I bought two of those as well because memory foam is AWESOME!  I have a memory foam topper and I\’ve had the best sleep yet because of that sucker!  So I also scored some new pillow cases just because.  The pillows come with this mega soft plushy pillow case but its white and that doesn\’t sit too well with me,  I prefer darker colors personally.

So for a grand total of $140.00 I scored 2 new memory foam pillows, 2 new pairs of shoes that aren\’t cheap knock offs and 300 thread count pillow cases.  Tomorrow its off to the clinic first thing to see the DR about this bump in my boob.  I went after work but it was crazy busy in there and I wasn\’t sitting standing in there for God knows how long until I could *maybe* see a doctor.

Today shall be known as TMI Thursday…

Today however will commence to be TMI Thursday (at least for today)…  Years and years ago I got my right nipple pierced (badly) I might add…  Back in 2000 I think, anyway I ended up with blood poisoning as a result of this.  Mainly because your body in defense mode will create a \”pocket\” in order to stop the infection from spreading, which is all fine and well until it erupts.  So I dealt with this situation in 2006 and 3 years later it STILL haunts me!  Or so I think…

It took a year or so for the original infection to clear up, being such a dense area of skin and all.  Which all around sucked in a lot of ways.  Every once in a while it gets itchy and needs to be addressed but aside from that, not a problem right?

WRONG!

The burning sensation is back with a vengeance in a different yet relative location so now I\’m a little freaked out.  It would seem that I have a pea sized formation under the skin and I also have what I am referring to as mini volcanic eruptions in places I shouldn\’t!  So off to the damn clinic I go for yet another (possible) lecture and possibly some antibiotics because I have a sneaking suspicion that  when the original infection erupted all those years ago  it spread and trapped in other regions.  Sounds slightly crazy but hey it took almost 5 years for the first one to come to the surface so this doesn\’t surprise me in the least.

I tell you there\’s nothing sexier then lancing out your boob on a Thursday night.

*In other news… Still can\’t find the damn cat litter I need!*

Could I FAIL any harder at life?

OMG seriously, UGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!  My picky pain in the ass environmentally friendly kitty likes one kind of litter and one kind only which under normal circumstances is fine.  Except when every damn supermarket in town DOESN\’T HAVE IT IN STOCK!  I usually have ample amounts on hand, but somehow I got sidetracked and didn\’t get her any last week when I should have (when I seen it even though she didn\’t need it).

I usually grab it on the way to work since provigo/loblaws/maxi are the only chains that I am aware of that carry PC (presidents choice products)  however the one I go to is small and doesn\’t have that much selection.  So I wasn\’t too shocked when I discovered 2 days in a row that they were sold out.  No biggie, there\’s another provigo not too far from work in the opposite direction and a loblaws not too far from that provigo either.  Maxi is was out of the question because there isn\’t any in my immediate/relative area.  I think that there must be a back order or something with the manufacture because this is ridiculous!

So before I left work I conferred with Donna about what the best direction was to go since she knows this end of city far better then I do.  However I am beyond geographically challenged and get lost far to easily sometimes!  Anyone who knows me could likely attest to this ha ha.  Anyway long story short I went the WRONG way (surprise, surprise) and ended up in Cote St. Luc when I was *supposed* to be in NDG still.  Thankfully it was a nice day out and walking for oh almost an hour and half didn\’t bug me.  Besides I needed the exercise.

So I hopped on the 104 to Sherbrooke & Cavendish to check out the provigo I should have been at around 6 (this was pushing close to 8pm at this point).  Of course they\’re sold out too, good lord!  So I thought well Loblaws is about 10-15 min away on foot so why not, and of course they too are sold out of this damn litter!  This is what I get for trying to be more environmentally friendly :p  Granted I too prefer this brand of cat litter because its all natural, smells really nice, no dust, bio-degradable and flushable!  I know the flushable aspect bothers some people but really how different is it from what *WE* as humans flush down the toilet?  Nothing…  Not a damn thing.

So until I can score some of this litter from somewhere, and I swear as soon as Provigo gets it back in stock i\’m buying it ALL!  I have the clay stuff too in case of emergency such as this, but she hates it to the point that she chucks it out of her box!  So after working 8 hours, walking for about 3 to try and find this cat litter which I never did locate I\’m not impressed!  I did however score a great deal on bacon, strawberries, my favorite cereal, yogurt, bagels, steak  and these butter pecan cookies that I ADORE and haven\’t seen in forever!  So all was not totally lost at least for me, Heddy on the other hand… She\’ll just have to deal!
