I'm kind of ready for fall. Well, what I want is cooler days, but still tons and tons of sunlight.
It's Friday, which is good. I had a great work week, but I need a little chill out and take naps time.
I handled a few personal responsibilities this week - followed up on and met a gutter person at the house, called the vet to let them know Piper is doing great. Had a doctor's appointment that I have to assume went OK, seeing as how I haven't heard back from them (all good, you get a postcard - bad news merits a phone call - usually).
Weirdly, or maybe not weirdly, I like my dog's medical practice better than my own. I don't like the nurse at this particular doc's office, and I feel like, if you aren't having babies, you can get to the back of the line. It's a Women's Health Clinic, though I think you might have surmised as much.
Piper's practice has two doctors who have both been there for awhile, a tech I adore, and the administrator at the front desk is a sweetheart. Dr. G, who saw her this last time, was as nice as she could be when I showed her a picture of Piper's friend from next door. She kvelled about how tall and handsome he is.
I've also seen these women out in the community. Dr. G I saw with her little girls at McKay's. I didn't say hello because, her day off. I mentioned it later to her. She said to say hello next time.
Dr. W I ran into at a zoo in New Orleans. No surprise - she went to LSU and was in town for the LSU/Alabama Game that weekend. But my feeling is, if my vet, who I trusted with both of my girls is at that zoo, she must be confident that they take care of their animals. True story - the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans is spectacular. We spent an entire day there. Delightful.
I need to get the chip off my shoulder about my doc's nurse, though. It's not her fault that my body is wonky.
Anyway, it was a jam-packed week. Tomorrow, I'm meeting Jim for breakfast, which is a good start to my weekend. We also have some Netflixing to do. We started a show called Mindhunter -I need to catch up on Season 1 before the second season drops soon.
I also have some more Schitt's Creek, and a brand new season of Derry Girls! Television. Love. It.
I need to pick up some makeup this weekend - it's Clinique Bonus Time, and if you're going to pay for decent eyeliner, you might as well get something extra with it. And so I shall.
I also need to look around and see what's out for fall. Do I need new clothes? I mean, kind of - there are a few pieces I could get that would tie everything together for late summer/early fall. The colors are a little odd. Lots of brick red, burnt orange and harvest gold. I can wear the red pretty easily, but the others are - a little too babyshit for my taste.
Truth be told, though, I need foundation garments. I managed to make it through the summer with a few cheap items, but once the weather cools down, I'm going to need to add some structure to the mix. And, we're having some issues with our dryer - there's a loose seal around the door, and things get caught in it, which makes tiny and not so tiny holes in them.
A new dryer is also on the agenda.
It's expensive to be alive, clean and fashionable.
But it's also good to be alive, clean and fashionable. Or at least,clothed.
