Would think “I’m going to create Man. He’s going to be stupider than the other Gods but slightly smarter than animals. AND as he get’s older, the hair on his head will thin and turn gray. BUT, the hair on his back and arms will get bushier and darker the older he gets.†(And then there’s that nose-hair and ear-hair but let’s not go there.)
Stormy the past couple of days. Lots of wind and rain. Trees down all over. Multiple reports of power lines down (and one power lines down across an occupied car). Right now there’s over 20k people without power. More of the same expected for this afternoon (but maybe not as severe as yesterday).
SWMBO texted me from the ferry last night. Seems she had a rough ride! She made it home safe though. Her son had a rough day yesterday with the Wx and flat tires and getting up late and more; but he survived also.
Dog and I did manage one walk before it really started coming down. Tried to keep him occupied in the big room chasing balls and playing tug-rope but I *do* have things to do.He’s gonna have to get used to keeping himself entertained.
So, got back online and managed to refill my Rx’s. Man, that new MHS Genesis shit is confusing. Plus, my Doc isn’t set up on it so it’s impossible to message him or make an appointment. Calling Tricare For Life Helpline is a total waste of time too. I tried. I was so frustrated I made a batch of Peanut Butter Cookies!
Got this back in reply to my “feedback:”
There are currently no medical records available for you in the MHS GENESIS EHR. Check back after your first visit with your healthcare team or PCM or contact their office.
The TOL Patient Portal (www.tricaare online.com) will only display Historical Data for Madigan and it’s Satellite Medical Facilities.
All Fort Lewis /Madigan and it’s Satellites Medical Facilities are using the MHS GENESIS electronic medical records system. Please call your local MTF appointment line for further assistance with Web appointing using the Patient Portal.
So, if there are NO records for me (which I have seen BTW) then why (WHY?) am I being forced to use a system that can’t help me? This being run by the VA or something? Still, it really looks like a canned answer from folks that have absolutely no idea what the Hell they’re doing. (AmIRight?)
Made an appointment for a carpet cleaner to come by this afternoon. Will cost about $120 for the one room; but that’s worth it to me! Means I don’t have to go to Safeway and rent a shampooer and buy the chemicals and do it myself. Which would also probably cost me about $120 if you factor in everything. (It went well. They were here only about an hour and the carpet really looks clean! Smelly, but clean.)
COSTCO rescheduled their guy that’s going to come over and estimate how much to install one of those tankless water heaters. And I saw one of their space heater thingies that would work well for the basement. It’ll be spendy but would make things a bit better around here.
Do This Right Away: Put a couple scoops of vanilla bean ice cream in a bowl. Add a tablespoon of my homemade blackberry jelly. Eat. Yummy!
Anywho, SWMBO is home and eating her dinner. Think I’m just going to take it easy until time to go lay down.
