Not so fast there, fatty

susandennisWhen I signed up for Wegovy at NovoCare I was asked to pick a date - I picked the first available date - Wednesday, the 21st - tomorrow. I thought I was picking a delivery date. I'm guessing now, I was picking a date for the fun of it. Reddit research now shows that NovoCare will send my prescription to Centerwell who will text me to set up an account (which will likely get fucked up because I used to have Humana and they used Centerwell so I have a non-working account there). Then Centerwell, will send me the goods.
I was looking forward to Wednesday. Now I'm hoping I get the shit in my lifetime. Sigh.
Oh well. This is one sure way of avoiding nasty side effects.
I can just now see the work of loud landscapers of yesterday and they did a fabulous job! Everything looks so tidy. Soon they will be planting the flowers they put in every year. 'They' are the resident volunteers.
Today is housecleaning day, Tomorrow is Food & Beverage meeting day, Thursday is volleyball?, Friday is Closet Day.
Yesterday I was looking up shit on the internet. Every search was investigated by AI and it was driving me nuts. I just wanted the URL of this one company. I did not want its history! I just wanted to know this one thing, I did not want a Ted Talk! Then... I remembered. A while back I was so proud of myself when I engineered my default search tool to be AI! ha. That was a short love affair. I switched it to Google and calm came over the waters. Now I get AI only when I want it. Thankyou, me
Jim Across The Hall has now taken to throwing his garbage into the plastic milk carton that is specifically for glass wine bottles (we do way more trash separation here than is necessary but that's another rant). He's been having trash issues for a while. Bonny went in a couple of weeks ago and showed him what not to do. It did not stick. I do not want to be scraping tomato slices off the floor and the first time Joan slips on one, it ain't going to be pretty.
So I sent an email to the person who manages the carers who come see to him twice a day. She got right back to me and said she would let the carers know to make sure he's not taking out his own trash. She got back to me so fast, that it made me think she was glad to have more evidence that he cannot live in the independent living community any more. His career told me yesterday that he now goes to bed at 4 right after the second carer leaves for the day. I am grateful every day that at least he gets dressed before he comes out.
The door at the end of my hall goes right into Assisted Living which goes right into the Nursing and Memory Care wings. It's also a short cut down to the main lobby/dining rooms/etc. They put a note on that door yesterday that they had a confirmed case of RSV and precautions now required. Happily, I do not have to go through that door but, sometimes, Jim takes that route. I hope his carers steer him clear of it.
Well, I'll be damned. Reddit was wrong! Or, more accurately, my mileage varied. I just got a text from NovoCare with a FedEx tracking number! No delivery date but it's FedEx Overnight Service. So... looks like my Wegovy will be here tomorrow.
