The Doctor visit

A while back, I had been told that my regular Dr. was going to retire. Now this isn't the best news I could have gotten, but I guess I've had worse. I had seen the other Dr. in the office there, but wasn't sure I wanted HIM to be my regular Dr. for annual exams etc. It's been a long time since I've had a male Dr..... So, I was only partly ready to go through with this when I was told that there was a PA in the practice that was very good and she would be the one I could see.
Well, maybe she would, but I never got that far because the "nurse" (witch) that I had to see first to draw blood was terrible and I never want to go back there. (PS...this was the second time she acted this way too!)

So, today I visited with a new Dr. One that might be good when I truely need a Dr. She was a little testy today; I had lots of questions and she seemed liked she wanted to move on to her next appointment. At the end she just cut me off, saying it wasn't fair to her other patients to stay and just talk to me. So, we shook hands, and I left. Hopefully, there wan't a copay because I didn't stay around long enough to ask. Also, they didn't ask to have my records forwarded.
**Sigh***...I guess I'll have to wait to see if it will work out.

On to "greener" pastures

I've been trying to shut up my house for the winter. All the little nooks and crannies that let air in are being identified and we're working to get them plugged. This will cut down on the energy we're using. I'm also experimenting with the furnace in the office. I'm keeping it really low then turning on a space heater while I'm at the keyboard. Hopefully this will also reduce energy.
I won't know until I see the bills!

As for the NEW EDUCATION....I probably will be getting more into this after the holidays. I'm spending so much energy working, finishing up with the buildings and planning my holiday tasks that it's no time to begin another project. While the winds blow in January and February I can be learning, then begin using my new skills when spring arrives. Ah yes, there will be a spring although I've heard that it will be a long hard winter, maybe harder than last year. Just look at how early it's beginning!

I would be interested in any site you might find while surfing that pertains to my NEW EDUCATION, whether it's regarding greener ways or gardening/landscaping/horticulture. I'm sure there are millions of pages out there, so just the highlights please :)

Thanks for visiting, and
Happy trails!
